I actually bought this copy last year but never scanned it in, and then it was on exhibit at Yale Law School from Sept - Dec 2010. I had it graded at Wizard-Phila on Fri.

 

This is the Court copy from the 1939 litigation between DC and Victor Fox over Wonderman.

 

I am happy to say that it is now the highest graded copy! The highest unrestored copy is a CGC 6.5 and the previous best restored copy is a CGC 7.5. :banana:

Our gang #1 First appearnce Tom and Jerry. This comic I feel has been looked over in regards to value and content.

 

Agreed - Our Gang is a really fun read. And the Barks shorts from #8 on are very good.

 

I'm looking for a nice #17 myself...

Well since you asked I went and pulled it so I could get it up here quicker. It doesn't get much rarer than this and I have never seen one of these in any condition near this one. Werid Comics Vol.1 #1 (1940) Not even sure what this thing is really worth, any ideas what I should ask for this book when I sell it. I would put it in the Nm- range atleast VF+

I got it here locally from a guy that had mainly silver age coomics and only a few golden age. I bought it abought 5 years ago and he used a price guide that was already fiver years old and then he said he would cut 50% off that. I think it was a 2001 price guide less 50%. Basically I paid pracitcally nothing for this book.

Earthshaker, did you know that if you use the IMG code from photobucket instead of the HTML code, the picture will show up when people quote you instead of the current string of gibberish?

So here are 3 of the 5 Walt Disney Christmas Parade #1's(1949) I have starting with the worst first, if you wanna call it that. This title seems to be some the hardest of the Dell giants to find inj good cndition. The second one is a CGC which says it all. The last on is a Vf or higher copy I aquirred about 6 years ago and paid $90 for. Sorry for the glare.

VERY nice! :applause::headbang:

 

What is the page quality like?

No brittleness to pages pretty supple. The color of the pages is what you would expect I guess from 71 years old, but suprisingly no really yellowed pages except what you see in the photo that sticks out on the outer edge. There is zero spine roll and it appears the pages that stick out were just a hair larger than when the cover was cut. So I can't really find anything wrond with this book. None of the pages are missing or torn. Appears to be intact all the way around. I looked on Nostomania and they have it in NM as 14k and VF around 3 k, I think I could ask higher than Vf if not only for the reason I just don't think there is another on out there in this shape. What's your view, im just curious as I really have never sold any of my collection of this era.

Believe or not the guy I got this from used to keep it in the garage with all his other comic, but he knew enough to have them all in bags and boards and well protected.

Christmas Parade 1 is so hard to find in high grade; your copies are beautiful.

 

It is a lot of fun to see the great variety in your collection. I've never seen anyone collect quite like this but it's very cool.
