Were Jon’s books slabbed before he decided to sell? Or did he decide to slab because he was selling? He struck me as a raw guy who appreciated the interior of a book.

My mistake. Sorry

The rule as it appeared to me back in the day before CGC was a dealer did not disclose restoration unless you asked. And then not even at times. CGC was necessary to stop this.

Well I’ve heard of a married comic book but this is the first Mistress comic book I’ve heard of.

Absolutely!

There are Big collectors who keep everything to themselves, and then there’s Jon Berk, who shared it all.

Everyone loved Jon. Shocked.

How important is the Pedigree designation to you? Would you take it over a non Pedigree that is a tick higher?

Let’s use an example. The Allentown copy of Wonder 1 which is conserved.

Yeah, I know, if at the right price, but beyond that, your thoughts?

.

I’m not seeing my scans on my phone

Why aren’t pictures posting?????

Correct.

I’ll bet the 9.2 Mile high would go for more than this 9.4

I paid 15 k for it in 2004

I really Love be Centaus !

Of course the price was Ridiculous. It’s not a Major key. The run was too short. It is a minor key of sorts. id say it’s worth 40k. what you say?

Do you take Bitcoin? Metro does.

If you trade me for your Silver streak 6 I’ll throw in that information for free!

I own this book in 7.5 blue label. I love the #5 cover !!

Possibly the scenario you mention is what happened to the Allentown Wonder 1 with a 4” spine split on the front cover. I can see that happening putting it back in the Mylar.

That crossed my mind but I couldn’t confirm it. Thanks for bringing up the point

Yes.
