That would be correct. 

One of the drawbacks of drunk while browsing Ebay. 

Having said that, I am very happy to have it. It's only money....

The 50k number is the number of times I expect to see this book relisted. 

You never know. Don't forget the insufficiently_thoughtful_person who payed $8,000 for the Frazetta Creepy #1!

Not sure why anyone would crack out a Frazetta SS Tally-Ho.

You're welcome. I wasn't sure if you were being sarcastic when you said "no one has a clue" since we don't definitively know, but we do have several clues. 

I know who definitely knows - CGC

But they probably could care less since it is not worth their time to make a few people happy. 

If I was in charge of their census data, it would be extremely easy for them to slice and dice data for stuff like this.

It should be a simple query that would take less than a minute.

From the estimated 191 Frazetta SS books, which one is the most valuable of them all?

Is it the Epic 1 CGC 9.8?  (Asking $50,000 right now on Ebay).

Does anyone know who the rowing coach for CGC is? 

Will a 500K donation get me the info I want?

There are 54 Vampirella #1 SS books.

I wonder how many are Frazetta signed?

I wish CGC would break down SS by who signed it.

Not a kid in the seventies then Icefires?

Born in 1953. You decide.

He's got a bionic kid?

He has a kid named Austin. What is your perversion about him being "bionic?"

OK. Research tells me Austin is one of his kids. So yes, "them" is correct.

Isn't it Greg and Austin?

Is Austin also a Reece?

Yeah, I definitely wasn't meaning to say anything about them as a whole as I've bought from them several times raw and slabbed with zero problems! And hope to do so again... this one was just strange!

Greg is a "them?"   Who knew?  I thought he was just one person. Go figure.

Shout really loudly.

 

Greg.

 

Greg.

 

Greg!

That worked! Thank you!

Well, I think his board name is gregreece

How do you search users here these days?

Isn't Greg Reece a board member? Get him on here to tell us what's up.

Blowie, are you finding one for this price or is that what you paid? 

I bow to your google superiority.

Ebay $115 to $600.     

$40? Wow! Link please

I like the HP Scanjet 8300 so much that I have a brand new backup still in the box in case my first one ever goes out. Don't know about the 8250, but my 8300 works great with Windows 10. I use VueScan.
