A big thank you to Steve (Rube11) for a killer JIM 112, well packaged and shipped immediately. Steve sells on the boards often and is a great guy with a great inventory. He has my highest recommendation as a seller.

That's a sweet looking copy for the grade. Congrats.

Sorry, but discussing 'rare' Marvel keys is pointless = they are all plentiful. I was at the Chicago Con yesterday and if you had the money, any Marvel key you wanted was available. Heck, Metropolis alone has multiple copies of everything. Don't get me wrong, I like Marvel, I collect Marvel, but rare ? No way.

I don't know if it's a storage issue or what but there are very few collectors of magazines. Mad, Vampirella, etc just don't command the value to make them slab worthy. I think if HOTFLIPS finally gets a 4 mil mylar for magazine sized slabs the market will pick up !!!!

Green Lanterns are great shape. The treadmill will keep you in great shape too. I knew I'd get a comment about the treadmill. It's the new way to get your comics into better shape !

A very undervalued key with such a cool cover. Congrats.

May have been the case for the buyer but there were many others that would have spotted it's potential and bid against him accordingly. Anything advertised as unpressed, as the mound city books were, will be reviewed very carefully for potential. Some were successful in getting upgrades after pressing others didn't. If you followed the MCA auction threads in General last November it's really no secret that I bought that book at MCA for a buyer who wanted to remain anonymous . Cheetah is right in that the book was not purchased as an upgrade candidate. In fact many knowledgeable potential buyers that saw the book in hand at MCA didn't think the book had any upgrade potential at all. The price that the book was bid up to was what several people thought a CGC 9.4 should sell for. Considering that CGC 9.0 copies were selling in the $28K - $33K range (check your GPA) months before the MCA CGC 9.4 copy sold, and that would have put 9.2 copies in the $50-60K range where they are now, I think it's fair to say that the CGC 9.4 sold at what was considered a "fair" price at the time. Roy, for some reason I assumed the buyer was a genuine collector and simply wanted the book for his personal collection. Hence, he sent you and paid a fair but handsome price. Life is good. Do you know if he sold it and the new owner did this ? I now have an image of just another flipper, disappointing.

That sure looks like a match to me, another pedigree book pressed (). Note the PQ improved also. I guess residing in the cool Canadian air for over a year improved the pages also.

I would be suspicous if the transaction actually goes through. I remember something similar a few years back on Clink where I hit the BIN on an underpriced book. I was one of about 10 or so that did the BIN and all were told the listing price was a mistake. It happens.

I believe they can fit up to 30 comics in one large box, the same limit as the number of comics in a single invoice. More than 30 comics will require multiple boxes.

Amazing, thanks for sharing. Very impressive books + White pages, you have excellent taste. Are these keepers in your collection ?

Excellent specimens of this book. It looks like the 6.0 has White pages ?!? If so, the 6.0 would have my vote for the keeper of the group. Very rare.

Outstanding book but I thought you were a DC guy ?

I love esoteric books like this. Nice looking book, congrats.

Really nice books. You never cease to amaze me with your submissions. You're right about the Atom and Hawkman 43. I just checked the census and there are no 9.8's, 1 9.6, and 3 9.4's. Pretty low numbers. My 9.2 Oakland copy just become more valuable in my eyes.

With all due respect to the owner, this particular copy has terrible eye appeal. Lots of color rub and dirt. I suspect the BC is worse as it is not availabe. Terrible scan for an expensive book.

Kudos to the Crimson Dynamo for a smooth transaction on a TTA 25. The book was safely packaged and quickly shipped. USPS Priority went from CA to Chicago in one business day ?!? Thanks Ryan !

Incredible stack of Bone comics. Congrats.

7.0

I am not familiar with the Jerry Weist Auction. Was it advertised ? Sounds like it had some fun stuff in it.

Kudos to Stephen(KingofRulers) for an excellent transaction on a DD 158. The book was promptly and safely shipped. I appreciate it !

Congrats. Now that's a Keeper !!!

Kudos to the Reverend for a great transaction on an Underground comic. Victor shipped immediately, arriving safely bubble wrapped and boxed. Thanks Victor !

I saw that book in hand at C2E2, really nice book ! You don't see those late Sensations too often.
