Have never seen a copy. Have only seen one #17 I think. This one ain't common either.

I agree.

Underestimated my snipe the last time one showed up on eBay. Missed it, and haven't seen one since.

Cool book!

Makes me think of that Neil Young song :headbang:

I posted this question in a random Golden Age thread, but this thread is way more active and probably a better place!

Can someone provide anything to go off of on this book? I'm trying to figure out some type value for it......Gags #1 UFS 7/37 One Shot Thanks for your time and happy holidays!

@Bo_Hogg might know something.

Does the Nazi alien/monster appear in any of the stories?

Does Gasoline Alley #3 exist?

I don't think so.  I believe that's a book that Overstreet is thought to have included to help secure his copyright against anyone reproducing his listings.  Could be wrong about that, as I frequently am!

You mean a Paper Towns type deal?

I saw it in the Gerber PJ, that’s why I asked.

Like the nonexistent alleyways that publishers of city maps used to include in the old days.

White space in Gerber?

Very nice copy of the 3! I think the 5 is the next difficult to find. I've seen 1,2,4, and 8 for sale occasionally. 3 and 5 rarely. The 6 and 7 seem to always be readily available for purchase.

Yeah, #5 is tough too, but I might put #4 ahead of it and #3. Daring 1-5 are so, so cool. I love that title. Saw this #5 on the CLink Exchange some time ago. Had to jump.

Great copy of #5! I always felt the 4 was really tough, perhaps the toughest, but then a spate of copies showed up which changed my mind. Once they disappeared, ain't seen that one again. Cycles. All the Darings are tough for sure except for the 6 & 7. In terms of Mystic, I may be wrong on this, but I'm finding (aside from the Destroyer issues 6-10 which are all tough), the #3 seems to pop up the least.

Yeah, all the Mystics are pretty tough. I might put #2 at the top and #4 above #3. #10 also challenging, from the Destroyer batch. I know there are Timely scholars here who can opine with more precision/basis, however.
