sacentaur Posted October 22, 2020 Share Posted October 22, 2020 To me, MF 52 - 56 are one of the most iconic mini-runs in comics. My MF 54 and MF 55 are two of the most cherished books in my collection. I used to own the Church copy of MF 56, unfortunately I haven’t been able to find a replacement (even restored would be fine) after all these years.

The Spectre is probably my favorite GA character. So dark and powerful. Almost biblical in nature. Pair him up with Dr Fate in the same book and wow. I owned a MF 52 once. It went when I bought my first house along with numerous other first issues. Was tough to give up at the time but it was the right decision. I think #53 gets slighted a bit. It is the second part of his origin. Then along came #54-56... I have none of them and probably never will. Have to be content with the reprints. sacentaur, circumstances, podboy66 and 1 other 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I had the entire run from #52 - 81 (last large logo), just missing #53. I had the opportunity to trade for some key books, so I ended up getting rid of the entire run except for these three issues: D84, mwotka, gino2paulus2 and 6 others 8 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No there isn't, none of you should check there. Pay no attention to this. /s Now if you'll excuse me, I have to continue bidding on something....totally unrelated to this post.

Hopefully Sauce Dog or another was able to pick it up (don't get greedy on me Sauce Dog!). I really did want it, but alas, backed out (around $350) as soon as it was looking to hit well over double what it went for originally (back when it was actually CGC graded). It honestly went for waaayyyy more than I ever expected of that incomplete copy. I promise I'll leave some copies of this issue for you!

D84 Posted November 12, 2020 Share Posted November 12, 2020 I bid on the 58 with a taped spine, but it went for $550. That's more than I was willing to pay, especially since the pages looked iffy to me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Yorick Posted November 12, 2020 Share Posted November 12, 2020 Would one of you be able to help me "appreciate" the inside cover of More Fun #33 (or an Adventure 28)? Seeking an image that's in focus. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Robot Man Posted November 25, 2020 Author Share Posted November 25, 2020 Got this one on these here boards recently. A real beater but I haven’t had an opportunity to add a More Fun to the pile in a long time. Unlike a lot of DCs, these are a great read cover to cover. What a line up. My favorite, the Spectre got pretty weak by this time. But Dr. Fate, Aquaman, Green Arrow and Johnny Quick are all good reads. At least no Clover and Dover yet... ender and Jasonmorris1000000 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'll admit, this went about $1,000 more than I thought it would. Yes, a very very strong price indeed and cewrtainly goes against the thinking that a book has to be certified in order to get the big dollars as this raw copy here sold for something like 3.5X raw condition guide: Jasonmorris1000000 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ian Diefenbach Posted January 11, 2021 Share Posted January 11, 2021 (edited) I’ve got a really rough copy of More Fun #101. I purchased it in a small stack of golden age comics about 2 years ago and as you can imagine, it was at the bottom of the stack. When I found it, the bottom corner was about 2x thicker than it should have been. I had to carefully unfold many, many dog ears with tweezers. I was wondering if I should bother sending it in or if CGC would even slab it if I did (NG maybe?)? No matter what, I will be happy because this is an amazing golden age key with good eye appeal. I was just hoping that I could have it better protected. Thanks, Ian Edited January 11, 2021 by Ian Diefenbach ender 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
