Gene Autry could be Fawcett 1941 series, Fawcett 1947, Dell 1943 series, Dell 1944 Series, or Dell 1946 series.

Popeye could be McKay 1937 series, Dell 1941 series, or Dell 1948 series.

Felix The Cat could be Dell Dell 1942 series or 1948 series.

Three Stooges could be St. John 1949 series.

There's only 1 person here who knows. (Will they tell?)

And I always figure when people say "Mint" it means an 8.0, and "REALLY nice" means about a 6.0 or 7.0.]]> Thu, 11 May 2017 16:38:09 GMT https://comicspriceguide.com/forum/messages.aspx?TopicID=11168 Message from Robbie sclingerman wrote:
The "Gene Autry, western, Popeye, Felix the Cat, I Love Lucy, The Three Stooges" comics don't sell for what superhero ones do. It's what people like and want.
But if they're 1940s comics, and in REALLY nice condition, they could be worth anywhere from a hundred to a couple hundred each.
You'd have to give us the exact publisher, title, issue number, and publish date for us to give you specific info. And then it's all based on condition. For that you'd have to post pictures.
Some of us like doing this... we consider it fun.

I Love Lucy made its debut in 1951, so those wouldn't be from the '40s. The list of titles sound like high print run Dells from the 50s-early 60s. "Really nice" in common language generally translates to VG+ to Fine-... I think those are mostly $5-$25 books.]]> Wed, 10 May 2017 21:56:33 GMT https://comicspriceguide.com/forum/messages.aspx?TopicID=11168 Message from Robbie bustergonad wrote:
Yeah the WW1 ones are mostly Puck paper comics

Some of the soldiers in the trenches made autobiographical comics - being in a trench has a lot of down time. There was also some political stuff. Small print run, local distribution.

And there were a couple nation-wide publications - like Puck & Judge.
And some "comics" (anything with panels and word balloons) were printed in hardcover. Prior to the Crash of '29 people could buy funny books in a format meant to last.]]> Wed, 10 May 2017 21:18:04 GMT https://comicspriceguide.com/forum/messages.aspx?TopicID=11168 Message from sclingerman But if they're 1940s comics, and in REALLY nice condition, they could be worth anywhere from a hundred to a couple hundred each.

To be honest I just don't know where to start, I'm looking to move them on and haven't got a clue what the going rate for them is.

Thank you]]> Tue, 09 May 2017 14:59:24 GMT
