Yup, I agree. You put that book up again today and it’s a $250,000-$300,000 book 🤨

Is Ben Bernanke bidding on these ? Where is all this money coming from ? Crazy brrrrrrrr

I remember this one as a kid. Classic !

This is a crazy "tradition" to sign this stamp

I was kind of hoping the books you mentioned stay under the radar. I am a buyer if they go low. Really pretty books.

Inflation is always and everywhere a monetary phenomenon

How does everybody here know so much about other people's business. Its like Peyton Place on these boards.

What is the guesstimate on the Contact 12 considering what the Mile High in lower grade sold for a short while ago ?

Yup. Maybe and hopefully not. If I remember correctly from our conversation Roger is a native of Arlington. That is how he ended back in rural Vermont. He had some beautiful art in the gallery but it all was expensive imho.

I was traveling the back-roads of Vermont as I am want to do in my spare time. Went to the Norman Rockwell museum in Arlington. Beautiful place to visit. Big open fields and the smell of apple pie. But I digress. While traveling through Arlington and onto Manchester I noticed the "illustration house" logo in a shop window. So I stopped. Talked to Roger. It was about 2 years back but his business card reads as follows : 646-334-9033. roger@illustrationhouse.com Best of luck to you !

More importantly, it is National Cheese Steak Day https://nationaltoday.com/national-cheesesteak-day/

I would rather have a Jay-Z trading card than a printing plate. It would display better and easier to dust. https://www.complex.com/music/signed-jay-z-trading-card-sold-record-breaking-price

They are interesting historical artifacts but they display soooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo poorly. As if the three dimensional weighty aspect wasn't problematic enough, the colorless metals are also marred by a reversal of the image. No thanks. No interest. At all. Zero. None. Zilch. Certainly not for run of the mill copper age covers. I would perhaps rethink my interest if the cover to Amazing fantasy 15 were to appear. Then I might be a bidder at these prices.

I am guessing the story is sufficiently painful abs embarrassing that there is no need to tell it. I think we get the gist.

Just compared it. Got it now. The published 361 is “iconic”. I remember buying 20 copies of the book. This unpublished version was unknown to me. Never seen the variant.

Oh, I didn’t even realize that. I didn’t bother to compare to the published version. So this was an unpublished cover ? It didn’t seem familiar at all.

A lot of people are paying crazy money for things that I dont think the future will care about very much
