These seem to go consistently above guide, there must be considerable crossover beyond comics collectors. Early newspaper strips were reprinted in many titles: Tip Top, Tip Topper, Sparkle, Sparkler, United, and maybe more. The guide says they're worth a buck or two more than adjacent issues, but just try to find United #22 or Tip Topper #17 at anywhere near guide. I've already paid my dues on them, and they were expensive.
Still, I don't really understand this one:

the only reason it's a number one is that Gold Key did not continue the numbering from Dell. And the cover at least, is a reprint of the first Dell, FC878. Nice condition, but $102?
