I was going to have mine graded but they refused to list the contents on the label. Since they contain random back issues, contents vary. I’m lucky enough to have 3 first issues and one 2nd in in mine. I would think it would make a price difference to a future buyer. Since they won’t do it, I’m keeping it raw for now. Wonder what’s in this issue? So there are random EC stories in this one? What about the other annuals? Or are they 2 different Entities? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Or are they 2 different Entities? My understanding is that all of the annuals were restitching of remainders/returns with a new cover. You can have 5 copies of Tales of Terror Annual 1 and have 5 different interiors, all most likely from the first few issues of Crypt, Vault, Haunt, etc. Edited October 22, 2019 by Randall Dowling Grammar Raze and Larryw7 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post Robot Man Posted October 22, 2019 Popular Post Share Posted October 22, 2019 Yes, that is the case. I have a COT 17 (#1) in mine. I have heard of a couple that even have the last 2 issues of Crime Patrol as well. If you were basing a price on contents, having first issues would make it worth more and thus increase desirability. I guess in a slab you are just buying a cover anyway. I actually count the interior to having value as well. Nice to have this info on the label...

Popular Post Robot Man Posted October 24, 2019 Popular Post Share Posted October 24, 2019 Local pickup today. And a Canada copy. You paying attention Jimmers? Guide says low distribution and I think they are spot on on #5. I have bumped into little groups of early MADs over the years and 9 times out of 10 #5 is usually missing.

Popular Post OtherEric Posted October 24, 2019 Popular Post Share Posted October 24, 2019 Fresh in today, courtesy of @Robot Man. Been looking for this one for quite a while, the cover on this one is completely unforgiving and finding a lower grade copy that didn't present horribly has taken me quite a while. 16 down, 7 to go on the comic book issues of MAD.

I believe I saw one at NYCC this month. Might have been this book with a 12K price tag. Don't remember which dealer had it but I believe he said it came from an original owner collection Randall Dowling, Hutch88 and KirbyJack 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

OtherEric Posted October 26, 2019 Share Posted October 26, 2019 A good day at the Jet City Comic show. We start with a low grade, cover faded, and quite cheap Shock: Raze, KirbyJack and Marty Mann 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OtherEric Posted October 26, 2019 Share Posted October 26, 2019 Next up, a brace of MAD's. This actually gives me 10-31 of MAD complete; only 5 more comic issues to go, all single digits. To be honest, even I might upgrade the 17 if the right copy appears... but it was cheap; and the 16 wasn't bad.

KirbyJack Posted October 29, 2019 Share Posted October 29, 2019 It’s a cool book, but calling it horror may be a stretch. That skeleton is adorable. Along these lines, I just bought an EC that I think is significant, but isn’t recognized generally. I’ll post it here when I get it, and I’ll hope for the forum’s opinions!
