I love this one. There's an 8,5 on ebay for 2800 and I like this one better.

My copy was $4 through a John Hauser mailer in the 90’s ?

I remember him. Somewhere in the northern states?

Wisconsin I believe

My copy of the 62-63 Annual is missing the back cover, unfortunately.  It's hard enough to find at all that I'm still happy to have it.

Since you skipped it, here's a shot of my copy of the C-42 tabloid:

Thanks for posting the 42, I missed it when I was looking through my treasury covers. 

Collecting this title, and subsequently upgrading lower grade copies has been a 30 year pursuit and still continues. I was very lucky with the treasuries and bought a original owner run, they are stunning. There was no C20, so I had to get a copy off of eBay. I have never seen a high grade copy.

Besides me?

My latest upgrade:

 

Rudolph the Red-Nosed Reindeer is among my dozen top titles! So tough to find copies in grade though.

 

[Silver]

Which issues do you have?

[Hepcat]

Sadly none. A character flaw I hope in time to correct.

It’s a labor of love to collect titles like this.

Cool thread.

There is a interesting book up on Amazon about the making and history of the tv show.

This book delves into the making of a RANKIN/BASS TV Classic: The ANIMAGIC animation process, the music by Maury Laws and Johnny Marks, the great Canadian voice actors, the -script by Romeo Muller and the complete world of Arthur Rankin, Jr. and Jules Bass. The TV Special is almost 50 years old and still going strong! The highest-rated, longest-running TV Special of all-time! The foreword is written by Arthur Rankin, Jr. and the AFTERWORD is written by Academy Award winning PIXAR Director/Writer ANDREW STANTON (FINDING NEMO, WALL-E). The late, great PIXAR storyman Joe Ranft also lended a great helping hand with commentary as well.

I recently upgraded my C-20 to a crazy nice copy. Only took 20+ years to find a better one. I will have to take a picture and post it here.

It was a very strong Auction for highest graded DC silver Annuals !

Kind of related to this thread, but gets lost over time with the way the CGC search engine works nowadays, is that fellow boardie @action1kid once owned the original Rudolph and Santa figures/puppets that appeared in the original 1964 TV show and were on the Antiques Roadshow:
