Rarity can be an elusive concept for some vintage Marvel, and the Marvel/Atlas humor line contains a number of beautiful but undiscovered gems. DanDeCarlo Millie sponsored
within the collecting focus in question. Rarity is a surprisingly difficult concept to pin down when it comes to comic books, and it's even more difficult to discuss when it comes to vintage Marvel/Timely/Atlas comic books. For most other publishers or collecting categories, defining rarity is easier.
But when I started asking collectors about vintage Marvel comic book rarity, the reaction was very different. One collector responded with an anecdote. When this collector asked a high net-worth Golden Age Marvel superhero completist why he didn't take his collection all the way and collect the rest of the Timely and Atlas comics that Marvel had put out before the Silver Age, the response was enlightening.
That's not the first time I've heard this notion from serious Timely/Atlas collectors. Daunting as it is, a small handful of collectors have seriously pursued a complete DC Comics set since comic collecting began to go mainstream in the early 1970s. But I'm not sure there are any true Marvel comic book completists, at least not anymore.
Because of this, there's really no collector whisper network as to what that magic combination of rare and desirable is for the kind of comics represented in this. The CGC census is likewise unhelpful in this assessment, as incredibly there are nearly 60 issues in the auction with census numbers of one or zero. And Fully 70% of the comics listed in the auction have single-digit census numbers.
Does this mean they're all really that rare? Not all of them, no. But all of this does mean that collectors at large probably don't yet have the data to determine that magic combination of desirable, cool, and tough to get in this particular category of vintage Marvel collecting. So while I currently have no particularly useful way to assess rarity for the comic books in this auction, I did manage to get some opinions on what issues might be the hidden gems here.
