No thanks Bonnie, I just got this baby and want to enjoy it for awhile! I will keep you in mind though encase I do decide to sell. (thumbs u Uncle Scrooge #179 is hard to find in any grade, I don't know who has a high grade copy for sale. It would run you some big-time change for it though!

Yeah, that's true! If I don't sell my under-copy by Saturday, I'm moving to eBay. I hope the demand does pick-up, these books have some of the best cover art around. Plus, I grew up watching most of these characters and movies on TV as a kid.

Yeah, good thing you jumped on your copies early. I think I lucked up on my Black Hole #4 CGC 9.8, it kinda came out of nowhere! I think it flew under a lot of Whitman aficionados radar.

Very nice covers & OA! I'm sure it was hard to acquire them?

Nice! I would have liked to see the 5 & 6 issues you speak of.

I don't believe the Black Hole #4 foreign release was ever verified. I thought I read somewhere (these boards?) in the past couple of years that copies were found in Australia or another overseas country. It's possible the copies made it there from the US I guess. Or my recollection is wrong. You are probably correct also! I was referring more to an accurate paper trail on the guesstimated amount sold abroad. The Recalled Comics site estimates about 175 total copies to exist and AJ is usually spot on with his statistics. (thumbs u

I think the number of copies is higher than this based on anecdotal evidence. Either this, or these comics don't stay in peoples collection for very long. This was a foreign released comic and it will be hard to determine the numbers, but as the world becomes more and more connected, I believe we'll understand better how many copies are out there. I agree, there is no bonafide way of knowing just exactly how many are out there. I'm just basing thing on rumored totals. I am glad I have my new copy though!

Yeah, that is incredible! Considering there are only about 175 copies known to exist! I had been watching this 9.8 copy for weeks, it kinda flew under the radar! (thumbs u I'm very happy to own it!

Yes that's kind of odd but I think it will top $30K easy. -J. That much better presenting than the last 2 8.0s? Doesn't have the nice PQ the last 2 did. True. But 8.0's aren't exactly falling out of the trees and a CR/OW book can easily come back an OW book or better on a resub if it really bothered someone that much. Me personally, I give PQ the least amount of weight on a label, so long as the pages aren't brittle or noticeably Tan on the edges. -J. Oh I agree they aren't common and PQ is the least important, but 2 have been reported to GPA this year with the last one back in october for just over 29,000 and then a 7.5 in nov for 26,000. Wasn't there an 8.0 on CC that sold for $30K+ recently? Or was that an 8.5? Yes Barry did just make his debut on Arrow. Good times. -J. There was a Showcase #4 CGC 8.0 that sold on CC for 29K & change. I was on the prowl for that one, but decided to go with an IH #1 CGC 8.0 White Mtn pedigree copy instead! That Hulk 1 was a sweet pick up, good job on that one. After hearing those GPA results, I am inclined to agree with you guys now, it will probably go a smidge under $30K. But it only takes two squirrels fighting over the same nut to push it past that. We shall see.... -J. Thanks J, I couldn't be more happier with my IH #1! Yeah, $30-31K would have been my cut-off had I decided to buy the Showcase#4 on CC a few months back.

I can't afford one in 8.0 so didn't track it and clink doesn't report to gpa I can't wait to binge on Arrow Jaja How ya been Eric? You still got you a sweet copy though! (thumbs u Arrow is the bomb this season! Catch-up on it as soon as you get the chance! I'm eager to see what CW does with the Flash pilot slated for next year. I hope its as good as Arrow! I will PM you soon with some of my recent purchases & CGC submissions results buddy!

Thanks buddy! It is nice, especially with the addition of its historical significance. (thumbs u I'm proud to own it.

Here are my contributions to the thread! WW first two SA appearances! Obtaining these babies took alot of patience and perseverance! Enjoy! (thumbs u [/img]

I'm thinking $60K with the premium, maybe more! I can't remember seeing a CGC 8.5 sell recently. Especially, not one belonging to a pedigree or collection. Now at $42.5K, $50.8K with the premium and 4+ days left until floor bidding! Dang! Someone from Beantown could've bought me a new Yankees jersey! I still believe it will go for over $60K! $58.3K today, not a bad! It may be awhile before another 8.5 or higher shows up for sale again! Anyone know who owns that only CGC 9.4 copy in the census?

Here is my newly CGC graded Whitman thread contribution!

Hello All, Just out of curiosity I have a question which I hope someone has the answer to on this thread. (thumbs u What are the first Bronze & Copper Age appearances of Wonder Woman? Thanks

It looks like it has a little "Cole Schave" going too. Care to elaborate on that? I never heard of the "Cole Schave" affect. The comics general paranoia set in. There was some grossly fanned pages on some ultra high grade marvels due to cover shrinkage in the last pedigree auction. This book is fine though. Oh okay, thanks for the info my friend! I still think this one should at least break $55K with premium. These high grade IH #1's don't pop up that often, so that may help it. I just checked it out and it's at $26K, so it may reach $60K like my first prediction! It's still under $50k like my prediction. I'll betcha a NY Yankees jersey it goes past $50K! (thumbs u What do I win? A NY Yankees jersey what else! Yosofunny! I'm happy the WS is back on the east coast! It's at $32.5K now, $38.8K with the premium and 18 days left! 18 days left you say? then it will probably get to 60K,or better. Yeah, it probably will despite the defect in the upper right corner. These IH #1's in high grade show up so infrequently, whoever is bidding don't seem to mind it! I don't know what the last IH #1 CGC 8.5 sold for, but a 9.0 sold for $120K on CL. With that many days left it could go as high as $75K! We'll have to wait and see!
