    I love Kirby's 4th world.  Was one of the first comics I was introduced to as a kid.  Was a big Supes fan at the time and that's how I wounded up with the Jimmy O's.  By the time I got to New Gods 8, I was completely hooked.  I had made an attempt to collect this run a few years back, but gave up when New Gods 7 exploded to ridiculous levels do to the BvS movie hype.  Steppenwolf?  Really?  No way.  

    Anyway, I wounded up getting the Omnibus and couldn't be happier.

    Still, I wouldn't mind having a high grade copy of Mister Miracle 4 (love Barda).

    Love the cover to JO 134 even without Darkseid on it.  I remember you picking that Fantucchio copy for a dang good price.  If I didn't have a few copies already, I would have made you pay more.  :baiting:

    This is the one, Bob.  It's the Curator copy, but with the vast majority of the distributor spray removed, and the bottom right corner ding pressed out.  The removal of the overspray must have involved some state-of-the-CPR-art process to be so effective yet maintain a blue label.  And I'd bet it's not the first example.

    I wonder how much it costs to remove the distribution ink?  Another revenue stream for CCS.  Not hatin' at all.  I'm sure it is above and beyond regular services.

    The book is beautiful, BTW.

    Ok? So what? That's not the scenario I am talking about. I have $10k to spend, but I wouldn't spend it on a Black Cat because I think that's a crazy price. I own a Black Cat that I won't sell for $10k. That's the endowment effect. I own the Black Cat, but won't sell it for a ridiculous price that I wouldn't pay because of non-logical, emotional reasons. I value my Black Cat higher than $10k while every other Black Cat isn't worth that amount to me. 

    What grade is your Black Cat 50?
