Wasn't there a Steranko Card issue as well? I think that came earlier, when he had the James Dean look really going on. 1961-62 perhaps? Do these have any significant value as single issues?

The two Steranko issues, one on cards, the other on escapes, are the two most valuable single issues of Genii besides Vol.1 No.2 (which Bill Larsen, Sr. gave away at a magic convention in 1936).

Richard,

Just out of curiosity... what would the value of those 3 issues be, assuming they were in oh say "good to near mint condition"?

[Richard Kaufman]

The Steranko issues generally seem to sell for between $50 and $100 each.
I don't know the value of Vol.1, No.2 of Genii.

Thank you for the information Richard, much appreciated!
