shrunkenhead Posted November 21, 2005 Share Posted November 21, 2005 My guess is it's ovevalued in guide - as it lists for over half what an actual copy of Comics Cavalcade #9 does I thought that was weird, too...on the flipside, though, it's odd that this one's not in the Gerber guide, which begs the question...how rare is it? One the one hand, one might argue that Gerber simply wasn't interested in a lot of giveaways and didn't bother to make a comprehensive account of them in the photojournals. On the other hand, it's hard to imagine that Gerber would have passed on listing anything with the title "Comic Cavalcade" in it had he be able to scrounge up a copy, given the significance of the series to GA DC history. Plus, he's got one of the other three CC giveaways listed, the more famous one with the Nazi imagery, so the absence of this giveaway in the gerber books is curious. Congrats. Thanks!

Norrin_Radd Posted November 24, 2005 Share Posted November 24, 2005 Still trying to finish the Detective run... How many do you have left to get? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
batman_fan Posted November 24, 2005 Share Posted November 24, 2005 (edited) I still need ~ 240 to finish the run so a long ways off. I am complete from 401 up and almost complete from 281 and up. Below that, I need quite a few, especially in the 121-160 range and the 201 to 240 range. I have certain condition criteria and I am cheap so I am always bargin hunting. I plan to just keep hacking away at the run until I finish it... Edited November 24, 2005 by batman_fan Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nearmint Posted November 24, 2005 Share Posted November 24, 2005 Recent purchase from Heritage, post auction. Still trying to finish the Detective run... Greg, do you have a 'Tec #91? The 7.5 on Comiclink is really nice. The defects must be on the back cover, because the front looks much nicer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
batman_fan Posted November 24, 2005 Share Posted November 24, 2005 I actually have it open on one of my windows right now, super nice! I also have a few others open as well. I am trying to decide what to pick up next. There are just way too many books available right now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ft88 Posted November 27, 2005 Share Posted November 27, 2005 Fun when you collect a title no one else does, there's nothing to talk about, but the prices are right. I do enjoy owning these nice but impossible to find issues. For $100 it seems worth it at 30% above guide. Anyone have any elder Warner Bros file comics? And not a Dallas Stephens to boot.

RareHighGrade Posted November 27, 2005 Share Posted November 27, 2005 Ft88: In case you are not already aware of it, there are 3 nice file copy Bugs Bunnys (#34, #45, #49) currently being offered in the Heritage Amazing Comics Auction that is set to end tomorrow. The current bids are quite low. You should check it out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ft88 Posted November 27, 2005 Share Posted November 27, 2005 Thanks RHG, I mostly look for the pre 500 Four Colors but the #30 seemed like a reasonable extension. I wonder how many file copies are out there of any of these issues. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Timulty Posted November 29, 2005 Share Posted November 29, 2005 (edited) Thanks for the complement. Yeah, too bad it isn't higher on the Gerber SI. But hey, like I said, bought it at a lower grade and got it back at 8.0. I am seriously going to buy from that seller again.
