 I too would love to see these 16 issues eventually added! I have a couple of these CGC slabbed in 9.6 ... not too bad considering they are 60 years old!

The only information I know about them are that they were Free Promotional Giveaways to shoppers at Weather-Bird Children's Shoe Stores for 16 months from 1957-1958. They are essentially left over news-stand issue Harvey Comics, with a Promo cover stapled on in place of the original comic cover. Overstreet values the books at 40-60% of the original named comic, depending on the content... IE: A Weather-Bird covered "Harvey Hits 12 - The Phantom" in 9.8 would value 60% of the price of an original "Harvey Hits 12" in 9.8 with the original cover in place.... while a Weather-Bird "Sad-Sack" in 9.8 would value 40% of the price of an original "Harvey Sad Sack" in 9.8 with the original cover.
