What is the rarest comic in your collection?

571 posts in this topic

Don't think I own any really rare U.S. Golden Age - just some HTF books like Roly Poly 14 and Air Ace 2/2.

 

Given that Canadian books are generally scarcer than U.S. comics, this is probably my scarcest book - it's not listed in the GCD.

 

Interior is from Dynamic #17

Sometimes the only chance you have to get a scarce issuer is by going for the pedigree! Dont know which of these it might be but these early Fights do seem pretty scarce and I doubt there is anything else as scarce in my collection, except maybe Planets 5, 14 and 15. So which one is the toughest? #5 maybe?

But believe it or not the following is the highest unrestored copy of this issue on the census!

Interesting thread! Overstreet wasn't much help so, I checked the census on my 7 Actions under 20 These 3 seem to be the rarest according to the census.

 

#4 22 graded 11 restored 2 unrestored books grade higher than my copy and it's tied with 2 others in the same grade.

They are beautiful! :applause:

I have always loved the cover of #6! I want to believe that's Jimmy behind the bushes, although it's not him.

 

I should also probably take a better picture of my #4 white pager hm

I have no idea, I find stuff that I have/had...that is scarce ..usually after I trade it;)

 

This one is listed as scarce in Overstreet...

and this one is the highest graded by 2 points, or maybe 2.5, so it can't be common...

For me, this one was a bit tough to find. Listed as a Gerber 8 and is the only copy on the census. How about it, Fiction House collectors? Rare? (shrug)

Never saw another, nice to see that one:)
