Famous Funnies: Carnival of Comics #nn (Eastern Color, 1933) CGC VF+ 8
Famous Funnies: Carnival of Comics #nn (Eastern Color, 1933) CGC VF+ 8.5 Cream to off-white pages. It would be five years before the Golden Age of comics would even begin when, in 1933, this collection of newspaper reprints was issued. Regarded as the second comic book, this promotional giveaway was M. C. Gaines' brainchild. Gerber's The Photo-Journal Guide to Comic Books lists this as "rare," with only 11 to 20 copies estimated to exist. There is currently only one unrestored copy of this issue that has been graded higher by CGC. From a historically significant perspective, this would appear to be an undervalued artifact. The CGC holder for this comic has a crack at the top right corner. Overstreet 2003 VF 8.0 value = $5,480; VF/NM 9.0 value = $7,990. Important notice: Heritage usually auctions material at the rate of 200-250 lots per hour. On some occasions eBay Live bid software or the Internet may not be able to keep up with the pace of the auction. We recommend placing a realistic absentee bid now as insurance to avoid disappointment. Occasionally the auctioneer may eliminate or reject an eBay Live bid, and the auctioneer may also reopen a lot after the close of the eBay live bidding (usually because we missed an audience bid), and may reject your bid even if it shows you as the winning bidder. By bidding via eBay Live, you agree that Heritage may award the lot to another bidder at its sole discretion under the circumstances described above or any other reasonable circumstances. Also please note that all Heritage lots purchased through eBay Live carry a 20% Buyer's Premium. Please make sure you read the Terms and Conditions before you bid.
