RedRaven RedRaven Mr. Sensitive TOTAL NEWBIE Registered: 06/23/03 Posts: 9932 Loc: Texas Hill Country	Originally Posted By: Doohickamabob Great info, thanks! I like researching that sort of thing. Found a few original copies of the book on Amazon as well (starting in the $150 range). _________________________ "Ladies and gentleman take my advice, pull down your pants and slide on the ice!” Goodbye, Farewell, and Amen to our good friend Major Sidney Freedman.

Interest in them does seem to be declining though. That's OK. More Mad for me! I agree. I have not pursued Mad on E-bay very often recently, but when I have the prices for books from the early 60's seem very reasonable, compared to what I remember from about 10 years back.

Ron Kasman Ron Kasman Up 20 words per minute since I signed up Registered: 03/28/05 Posts: 1308 Loc: Toronto, Canada	I bought twenty or thirty issues, from say, #50 to #75 about 15 years ago for $5 each at my local comic store. I got a great deal. I was at Wondercon this past April and picked about about 12 Mads, all the ones I needed to fill in from about #50 to #100 for $4 each. Again, I got a great deal. But I got them at about the cost of a copy of Mad off the newstands. I could hardly believe it. I may have mentioned that I saw a waterstained #24 on ebay passed up at $9.95 then go when it was put up a second time, for $20. I bought my #24 for just under $60 in about VG. Mad was a very influential magazine. I can hardly believe that so few people are paying attention to it these days.
