What is the most valuable comic at DCM, (if it was in mint condition?)

[Yoc]

GL with the new HD and scans Eric!  Nice to see you posting messages again.
And to all buyers we appreciate that you are thinking about DCM and scanning when you are considering your purchases.  Without you scanners we're nothing.

Thanks Yoc! I now have the new drive installed, the old one slaved, and Hopalong Cassidy #66 is being rescued from oblivion! It should be showing up here as soon as I get the rest of the computer setup.

Same here!
Hunting for DCM-missing books is fun and can be kind of addictive.
Makes me feel like a man on a mission.
 
That's why I'm currently completing (with a little big help from JVJ!) ACE horror books.
Got plans for next year already.

It's just nice to be able to share these old books. I only wish I had more time to be able to scan.

Thanks guys. I'm excited about the Ace books T!
Eric, do what you can.  Real life comes first and anything you can share is always appreciated.

This thread has been inactive for some time so I thought that I would try and pump some life back into it.

So what exactly is the top 10 most valuable PUBLIC DOMAIN comic books out there?

Phantom Lady 17

Whiz 2

The problem here is where does one go to even find the 'top 10' online if one doesn't want to buy an Overstreet?
ComicsPriceGuide.com doesn't have any top lists that I can find.  I did a Google and checked several sites and see nothing.
Hard to answer your question without a reference.

From 2010... I tried to highlight the PD books, but I might have erred, so please check...

You guys are absolutely wonderful!

Come on over to northern Wisconsin and I will give you all a big hug!

Thanks very much for all the work on that Cimm.
An interesting read!

Red Raven is not PD, unless it's one of those odd "the publisher missed it" books; it's what became Human Torch with issue #2.

There's a few others in there in the "known to be unrenwed but we're not touching them because of the company" books in there, as well.  Thank you for the list, in any case- it's fascinating to see!

Most of the Platinum books would be PD as well, even if the characters are still under trademark, just because of their age.

Hmm, there's a Man From Planet X on eBay at $135 with a trashed spine on the cover only that looks like an excellent scanning candidate; maybe when I get my tax return...
