Funnies #22
scarcity rating = 6
p.318, #729
This is the full, comprehensive list of books not pictured in Ernie Gerber's Photo-Journal Guide to Comic Books, including it's location in the book, and scarcity index number. The scarcity index number is based on Gerber's scale as follows:

  • (1) Very Common (new comics)
  • (2) Common (80's books)
  • (3) More Than Average (70's, some 60's)
  • (4) Average Scarcity (1,000-2,000 existing copies)
  • (5) Less Than Average (200-1,000 existing copies)
  • (6) Uncommon (50-200 existing copies)
  • (7) Scarce (21-50 known copies)
  • (8) Rare (11-20 known copies)
  • (9) Very Rare (6-10 known copies)
  • (10) Unique (less than 5 known copies)
  • (11) Nonexistent (but known to have been printed)

He's never given an "11" to a book...

It's common practice among collectors to double these numbers when trying to arrive at a more accurate figure of existing copies. If a book has a scarcity index of "8" (11-20 existing), many feel a more accurate number would be 20-40 copies. On one particular book with an "8" rating, I knew of eight copies that existed, just within my circle of acquaintances.

These are listed in order of appearance, not alphabetically. The Funnies #22 is the last book missing from this list. If you have it, we'd love a scan!
