The top 3 are superman 76, worlds finest 71 and all star 36, IMO. Though all three are already cool books with decent to good demand (thumbs u Dear Gator, What would you say is a good price for a World's Finest 71 CGC 4.0 right now with Cm/OW pages Thanks NB I bought a cgc 4.0 recently. Just got back from Tampa con and books are still packed up so I don't recall off top of head the cost/retail but I will check sooner or later (thumbs u

Gator has one. At least he did in Chicago. it is a consigned copy. But yes, I know where a 7.0 is

400ish. Maybe higher but depends on eye appeal Metro has one with lower PQ and lesser eye appeal for $600.................. ...........Is this your final answer? Taped spine these days is big turn off. I sold a 2.0 for 500 so yes, 400+ (maybe upto 5 if nice eye appeal) is my final opinion

I have the Larson - it has a few problems and doesn't come close to comparing to JB's Church copy, but it's a favorite nonetheless. I just did a search and saw where you posted your copy. What a great book. I'm surprised you haven't sold it to Metro yet. Dear Gator, How steamed do you think sacentaur is at the idea of selling his Larson Fantastic 3 to Metro?

Future is bleak....down

metro has bought many many copies of fantastic 3... Early fox books are relatively scarce anyway. I've owned 3 copies in last 2 years so they are out there but mostly mid grade or restored

Sorry...been so busy at cons. Sdcc was average, but Chicago was a huge sales wise

Chuck told me there is a suspense 3 mile high copy. He didn't list it in his initial catalog, though but he couldn't recall details, but thought it had sold pre catalog Outside of that potential book, I've never heard of or seen a high grade copy Overstreet's copy is now understood to have been the Church copy. It is believed to be approximately a 9.4 and was sold by him before the large sale of his collection to Geppi. Around 20 years ago, I was told that the MH Suspense 3 was owned by a collector named Magic Woo. Anyone else hear that? yes, I "very recently" heard that too (thumbs u

1- good choice. High Demand book right now. 2 months ago I could have sold you a copy. Uncortunately all mine are gone. But patience will pay off. Plenty of copies out there 2- goto photobucket.com and sign up. That easy

So, what's your take on Mitch's post a bit ago about major, major issues looming in our comic book world which will need to be addressed? Is the doom and gloom warranted? nothing that experience won't avoid

Yes. The whereabouts of that book are well-known. I talked to the owner about the book back in 1999 when I bought the Detective #29 Allentown from him. The #29 is nicer than the #27. My guess is the #27 may be a 9.4, could be slightly nicer, could be slightly worse... I never saw it. That is my guess based on the info I was told about it. Hope that helps. Perhaps Gator has more info to add. payette told me, not too long ago, that as long as in the same condition as when he had it, it is 9.4 by today's standards (didn't jim grade it vf/nm?)

matt baker was da bomb

not a bad thing but it will wear off (or thin )

probably PL 17 Do you buy into the notion that the cover may not be by Baker after all? no

you both are coke zero heroes to me

probably PL 17

I had my 4.0 priced at 2500 in Chicago. Got a few looks but no bites

Issue 15 , skip 16, then 17-23

i cannot tell a lie. They were a God send!

I find 38-40 degrees to be quite wonderful My fridge is set a 38 degrees. Let me know when to stock it with Coke Zero. I know you have a room ready for me. Got to find the time

A-no. You can't unrestore cleaning. Book will forever be "plod". You could remove pieces, color touch and tear seals in theory (though you might be left with a mess) but you can't unclean a chemically cleaned book B-see a (no) C-yes. Definitely reverting back to days of old where resto is not as stigmatized. The reason, I believe, that plods are frowned upon is that so many folks had, previous to cgc , bought books they were led to believe we're unrestored , only to send to cgc and unexpectantly receive restored grades. That's where the "purple label of death" came from. Restored books have always had value in the market, but this general "plod" mentality will continue to slowly shift back to more positive.
