Have we seen your 7.0 I don't believe the club has ever seen Foolkiller's 7.0 off-white copy yet. It would be a pleasure to see Foolkiller's copy since it's in the 6.0 and above club (one of the few which we have not seen yet). You should see his 8.0.

Well, this might impact the Mound City prices a bit:

Nice. The Mound City copies are not pressed, right? That might help the price go a bit higher than expected.

Actually, I started one a little while back but it died a quick death since membership in that club is even more exclusive than SC #22. (thumbs u

Hope you received a generous price for it...otherwise you may have to chase it for a much higher price later since it's a 4.5 copy. Seems like all copies available are 2.5-3.5 and are being snatched up like hotcakes in the $900-1400 price range (the more affordable copies). (thumbs u I received a fair price for it (I will not disclose it - the buyer can if they would like to). The money will be going towards another investment in the hopes that in a year or two I will be able to afford a much nicer copy. (thumbs u ...as in the Mound copy ? No, I will not be buying any big $$$ books for a while. FWIW, I am not interested in that copy since I buy the book not the label.

My guess is that a 3.0 is someplace in the $500 - $600 range. There are a lot of them out there in low grade just like SC #22.

Sig will change when I receive the full payment. The book is still in my hands for a little while longer.

Well, it is official now. I am no longer a member of this prestigious club.........for the time being.

Very cool! Thanks for sharing. (thumbs u

Would you rather buy a raw or slabbed VF copy of Action #1 from an unknown "long time" collector?

Okay, enough sidetracking. Who actually has a raw SC #22 that is willing to post the interior pages? Unfortunately, on these boards an unslabbed copy of any key is probably a rare item!

Congrats! A very nice copy.

Did I wait too long to sell off my last copy?

Wow, no new posts since the football talk yesterday. I guess this book is slowing down.

Have you come across any new ones lately? Were there any copies at the New York show this weekend? I have been offered several copies lately, passed... I was watching Florida football this weekend (and every weekend in the fall)...don't goto shows (miss Balt every year, and this year NY) You mean you were "nervously" watching Gator f'ball this weekend... - Arkansas boy frustrated is more like it... I hate to say it, but the Gators are starting to look more like the 2005 USC Trojans as the season goes on - a dominant team that gets knocked off in a big game due to underperformance on one side of the ball. For the Trojans, their D was an issue, but I think it is the O that is the problem for the Gators. this past weekend, it was tebow holding onto the ball too long...4 of the 6 sacks were easily avoidable... our Oline is fine (thumbs u (heck, we had the #2 rushing attack in the country) But how many of those rushing yards are Tebow? And yes, I know you have two good backs and a good o-line as well. The biggest concern is the lack of receiving talent, to be honest, and Tebow's general "average" rating as a throwing QB. It will be interesting to see you and Bama slug it out for the SEC title in December. That being said, I just have this feeling about the Gators this year like I did about the Trojans in 2005 and even the Patriots against the Giants. You know that on paper they are overwhelming favorites, but you start to see things pop up throughout the season that can give you warning signs and as they add up anything can happen. FWIW, I think that the Gators playcalling (and the SEC as a whole, to be honest) is a bit too conservative. Granted, with Harvin catching passes for Favre you do not have a legitimate deep threat to stretch the field any longer, but I also think that Meyer et al are calling games against tougher foes from a "not to lose" perspective instead of attacking.

Have you come across any new ones lately? Were there any copies at the New York show this weekend? I saw a small handful but certainly none in HG or even above 4.0 Did Metro have 6 copies (or was it 8) below 4.0 (the best was a 3.0) like they did in San Diego? They had a quick sell through at the SDCC, including the bathtub proof PR copy.

No worries, please PM me for the mailing address to submit your copy for inclusion in the club. I, err we, will consider your membership dues paid in full as soon as it arrives. (thumbs u

Well, one of the 4.5s is my copy, but I believe that the label was submitted as well so it should mean there is one less 4.0 copy from the last census.

Was this copy to be held in his private collection, or is the buyer most likely to flip it? Sounds like a flipper (I really don't know) if he is willing to pay the premium for a raw 8.5 or 9.0. Rick probably has a better sense. Well, at one point Rick was going to keep this book as well. I was indeed, but when folks offer you BIG money for a comic, well, I have been known to sell...and, by nature (Golden age mainly), I am not a high grade collector, so I am just as happy with a 5.0 as a 9.0 and a lot of $'s in the bank (thumbs u Personally, I would have done the same thing in all likelihood, and would have no choice if told my wife about a big offer before making a final decision. While I am the man of the house, the priveleges are not as great as the marriage documents said they would be.

Do you know who owns the ComicLink copy? The CL copy looks like the best eye appeal copy unless the new 9.0 copy is also off-white pages and we need to see a scan of it. Nah, just speculation since it has not come up in an auction yet. I have heard rumors that it belongs to one of the big HG DC collectors, though. Mind you, since it looks nicer than the HA 9.0 based on the old scans I saw they might be playing it smart by seeing what type of a price the HA 9.0 copy fetches.

Looking at your list, I think it is safe to put the 9.0 Clink copy as in the rock solid hands of a Private Collector.
