question about roger bean

[gspchip]

Hello,
I am a new user and know next to nothing about classic comics..... I attended an auction today and purchased several boxes of old LP's... (78's) and in one box there was a copy of a comic called Roger Bean.... it is in fair shape and appears rather old... it is titled No. 2 of the twin Baby Grands...

Could some of the members tell me a little about what I got and if it is of any value....

Thanks..... Randy

The Overstreet price guide has Roger Bean, RG listed in the Platinum Age section of the guide. Does the comic have the name Chas. B. Jackson listed either on the cover or inside? Is the comic narrow and long (6" x 17")? If so, this may be an issue of that comic published back in 1915. There are two issues (#4 & #5) listed on ebay now and I have provided a link for you to look to see if these resemble the comic you have. If this indeed is one of those listed in the guide, Overstreet has it valued between $60 and $360 (GD to VF condition).

Thanks 247....
I took a look at the ebay examples....it does look the same but the size is somewhat different that what you stated...I dont think the book is that large..... it does have Chic Jackson name on each page throughout the book and also on the cover page. It is in fair shape....worst thing being a bit yellowed with age....kind-of a clever arrangement... thanks...randy

Found my ruler and took a measure..... it is 8.5X11..... it looks to be the same size as the two examples on ebay....
