Thanks, Mike. And, by the way, no. You can't pay with Monopoly money.

It's all good. Lizard paid a one-time use fee to use the image on the board.

You should do that, sir.

And, now that you've uncovered all of this hidden nice stuff, which books are you buying?

Thanks for the kind words, sirs!

Avengers 26 CGC 9.4 ow-w pages $225 shipped Captain Marvel 55 CGC 9.8 ow-w pages $129 shipped Daredevil CGC 8.5 cr-ow pages $115 shipped Tales to Astonish 50 CGC 8.0 cr-ow pages $190 shipped

Brave and Bold 34 CGC 4.5 cr-ow pages $400 shipped Origin and first appearance of Silver Age Hawkman and Hawkgirl! Superman's Girlfriend Lois Lane 68 CGC 9.2 off-white pages $110 shipped Sold! No recorded sale in this grade since 2013 which was for $91. A 9.4 sold in 2016 for $250. There are 14 this grade or higher in the census. I remember buying a copy of this book off of the rack when it came out in 1966. It took my entire grass-cutting allowance for the week and I still had to beg my parents for a penny to cover the sales tax. Those were the days!

Superman Record Comic (1966) nn CGC 9.4 white $325 $300 shipped Another great book for your registry set and one you don't see very often. 22 in the census, 12 at this grade and higher.

Aquaman 51 CGC 9.2 ow, Aquaman 52 ow-w green $250 $225 shipped Sweet Nick Cardy covers with Neal Adams Deadman backup stories One week until the movie!

Tales to Astonish 76 CGC 9.4 ow-w $225 $215 shipped Another great book for your registry set! 13 books graded 9.4 and 8 graded higher. The last sale on GPA was $216 in January of this year.

Tales to Astonish 59 CGC 9.4 ow-w $1700 shipped Key: 1st appearance of the Hulk in TTA and classic battle between the Hulk and Giant-Man CGC Census: 15 graded in 9.4, 9 books graded higher The most recent sales of which I am aware, both with lower page quality, are two in 2017: a cream to off-white copy which sold for $1195 and an off-white copy which sold for $1733. You can look at both of them on Heritage. In my opinion, the book which sold for $1195 was poorly cut which might account for the lower hammer price. I see a definite drop from left to right of what should be horizontal. There may be other sales which weren't reported to GPA of which I'm not aware since some sellers short-sightedly don't share information. If you know of any, please let me know. Apparently, this book has not been pressed. If you inspect along the spine, you'll see several creases which could be pressed out. Roll the dice and you might come up a winner with a 9.6. Deep, rich colors. Thanks for taking a look.

Daredevil 181 CGC 9.9 White Pages $2,995 shipped or best offer sale or trade. The Facts: There are almost 2300 copies of this issue graded either 9.8 or 9.6 yet there are only 6 issues graded 9.9 and none graded 10.0, making this book in this grade almost as rare as a unicorn. There is a very interesting and incredibly well-written article in the Registry about this book and I'm including the link to it for your enjoyment. It's well worth a read. Not only does it mention that there are only 6 issues in 9.9, it goes on to say that there are only 5 with white pages. https://comics.www.collectors-society.com/WCM/ComicView.aspx?PeopleSetComicID=929468 Here's an excerpt from RMI High Tech's article from Jun 2016: I haven't been through the entire registry but I saw two of the other 9.9 WP in registry sets. They're worth 500 points if you're keeping score at home. As you might expect with only six copies in existence, historical sales data is almost non-existent. I only have information on two sales. GPA lists a sale in Jun 2006 at $1500 and that's all. The link above is to an article which describes the author's purchase of his copy for $2500, apparently in June 2016. If anyone has any additional sales that they have knowledge of, please PM me. I would prefer not to accept PayPal on this book but if PayPal is a must, please PM me ahead of time. I also not only welcome but actively encourage a trade on this book as long as the material you offer is of the same high caliber. My primary interest is in high grade GA Bat books and SA Spiders but there are certainly a plethora of other books which will catch my eye and quicken my heart. Please, please don't hesitate to contact me. It might very well be that your trash is my treasure. This may be a limited time offer as one of the auction sites has expressed and interest in accepting it for consignment and I'd like to switch this book out for books more inline with my current collecting interests. Thanks, everyone, for taking a look. I think I've covered all of the bases... Now for THE BOOK:

You are welcomed and encouraged to PM me with offers or discussion but the first unconditional Take It in the thread gets it, trumping any PM discussion. I reserve the right to sell to whomever I choose and may, at my discretion, disregard a Take it in the thread.

My kudos thread: https://www.cgccomics.com/boards/topic/241444-jim-corrigans-feedback-thread/ I also have a sales thread up in the Copper/Modern Age only forum with a Cap SS signed by Stan and a boatload of well-cared-for Marvel Masterworks:

I would be open to trading as long as I'm only getting back 1 or 2 comparable books in return. The TTA 59 isn't really in my collecting focus any longer and if you have one or two similar books that you'd like to get rid of, PM me and we can discuss. Thanks.

Thanks! Advice followed.

Thanks. It's yours. I'll PM you.

Some consideration will be given to anyone who wants to purchase both books.

Why stop at one more auction when two more is twice the fun? This is a link to another 9.6 being auctioned on ComicLink this month, a Northland pedigree. http://www.comiclink.com/auctions/item.asp?back=%2FAUCTIONS%2FPREVIEW.ASP%3Fcode%3D2018nov%26pg%3D2%23Item_1283075&id=1283075&itemType=0#detail According to the CGC Verification page, this book was slabbed 10/21/2011. According to GPA data, a Northland Pedigree 9.6 sold for $20,195 in Mar 2009, prior to the slab date for this book. Could there be two Northland Pedigree 9.6 copies of that book, was the 2009 book resubbed getting the same grade back that it started with, or is there a mistake somewhere in the dates?

Thanks! Is anyone following the 9.6 being auctioned on Pedigree? https://www.pedigreecomics.com/auction/comic/63350 I predict the final cost to the buyer will be over $5K. It's a nice looking book with a slight left-bias to the wrap. Does anyone else have any thoughts on that?

Price drop. $400 obo.

Price lowered to $110 shipped.

Superman's Girlfriend Lois Lane 68 CGC 9.2 off-white pages $110 shipped No recorded sale in this grade since 2013 which was for $91. A 9.4 sold in 2016 for $250.
