Timely Posted October 1, 2011 Author Share Posted October 1, 2011 I am still gathering data on the San Francisco collection, but as of now, I have only been able to find San Francisco books from the few publishers listed below. I've also listed the number of San Francisco books I've found for each publisher. Pretty interesting data. CENTAUR: 1 DC: 117 FOX: 4 MLJ: 10 PRIZE: 4 QUALITY: 29 TIMELY: 75 FAWCETT: 2 TOTAL SAN FRANCISCO COPIES CURRENTLY KNOWN: 242 Beerbohm's master list had long runs of Dell comics, including what surely would have been the best existing run of Walt Disney's Comics and Stories from #1 up. At some point, I believe nearmint(?) brought up that no one had ever seen a Nedor from the San Francisco collection. As far as I remember, the general consensus of the discussion was that the list must have been incorrect. Looking at Timely's list, I find it puzzling that both Nedors and Dells are missing completely. Could the master list have been so wrong, or is it more likely that these groups were sold off as large lots early on and never surfaced on the market again? If this happened 35-40 years ago, perhaps we will know a definitive answer not so long from now... There are many larger Golden Age publishers that have had no books surface from the SF collection. Here are a few...

telerites Posted December 11, 2011 Share Posted December 11, 2011 Sometimes you get lucky. I bought this raw off Ebay a few years ago - not knowing it was a SF (nor I assume did the seller since it wasn't in the description). When I got it, I thought it looked pretty nice and lo and behold, the stamp on the back cover gave it away. Not a high grader but it's still nice.

tb Posted December 20, 2011 Share Posted December 20, 2011 The colors on those Reilly copies are gorgeous. It hardly seems possible that the Church counterparts could be more beautiful. And the statistical data is very interesting, thanks for sharing it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
