  1. Thank you GAtor for pointing this out! Dang...now that I see that hammer price I am disappointed I didn’t throw my hat in the ring! It’s like I’m getting a liquidation price
  2. And that was a 9.6, right? While no slouch at a 7.5, it's definitely no Church copy. Wow, yeah, I'm just stunned at that one
  3. Am I missing something on Wonderworld Comics #11 7.5? Was a hammer of $26,400 expected? I saw the book at SDCC and it had an estimated "sell for" price of $2K+. Guess the "+" heavily applied!
  4. Awesome, thank you! It appears to be from the same collection. Is this one that CGC recognizes? I just got this particular book back from them.
  5. Interesting...I’ll see if I can find more information on this book. The writing was the first thing I noticed! Thank you for some possible background info and a lead
  6. Hope it works out for you! Keep us posted please!
  7. Some amazing books here that I have never seen on the boards before! And good luck with your son’s health issues
  8. Thanks Dave! Really appreciate the comments! It’s been a fun little OCD collection to put together!
  9. First time seeing this club...love it! I love the newsstand version
  10. Wow, good to know. Thank you for the info!
  11. Yes, I completely agree with you. And I don't want it to sound like I am bashing GFC...I, being an EC collector, would LOVE to have one. Stunning books. Outside of a major splurge puchase, though, they are way outside my budget
  12. Agree to disagree on this topic. All things being equal, I personally, would not pay more for a Gaines copy.
  13. I would disagree that the GFC will double or triple the value of a high grade EC. It is much LESS common to find a high grade EC out there that isn't a GFC. There are quite a few Gaines copies out there as well, so yes, they are gorgeous copies, but I don't see a value bump in it being one. I'm not aware of any premium a Gaines copy brings, other than the high numeric grade they usually come with. In fact, I would argue it is one of the few pedigrees that does not carry a small bump in value. Just my 2 cents.
  14. I’ve always felt that 180 was a book that people who already have 181 would want. While it technically is the first appearance, 180 just doesn’t have the cover and notoriety 181 does. I’d be curious to know how many 180 owners do not have a 181.
  15. Amazing book!!! One of my favorite covers of all time. Congrats to all involved. Really wishing I had logged on last night now
