    And as hard as this is to find in high grade, I'm super stoked to have a raw pedigreed copy.

     

    The other two are obvious, this one is a Northland.

    Absolute beaut! thumbsup2.gif893applaud-thumb.gif

     

    You got the COA with it, too?

     

    Yep! And I have to say, the book looks like a VF+, I bought it as a VF+, but the cert says F+. *shrug*

    How did this book get in here? Snipe gone wrong? Actually was hoping to pick up the Night Nurse 1 CGC 9.6 as well from JE but underestimated the bidding on that. Now DKB and I can drool over this copy next time we hook up for a comic trade?

    And to think I've considered paying almost twice what you did for one. Nice price on that. =)

    A custom Clea Mego figure (with camel toe no less)! It came with a custom Mego box as well. I'd post it but I'm making a matching one for the custom Doctor Strange figure I already have...

     

    Anyhoo, here she is:

    That's practically softcore. This belongs in Babe Test, no doubt! 27_laughing.gif27_laughing.gif

    Not sure what you mean by indicates. Its there on the slab. =) But if you are asking what 'Stan Lee File Copy' means, well, it means the book was one of Stan Lee's personal copies. He kept and used them frequently as reference material, so its the rare book that is ever in high grade. The entire collection (I think) was sold by Heritage in two chunks in 2002 (or 2003). All the books were first CGCed before they were sold.

     

    My thinking was, "If you pick up a raw comic, how would you possibly know if it was a Stan Lee file copy?", but your post answers my question, that they were all slabbed before they were sold for the first time. So I assume that means every Stan Lee file copy is in a slab, unless someone cracked it out, which wouldn't be too smart.

     

    Hehe, actually, I'm still not certain whether I'm going to crack that out or not. Its not a pricey book, and I'll still have record of the sale (printed out, pictures of it in the slab even if necessary) and the CGC label to go with it. *I* know its a File Copy!

     

    The only slabs I have until that one shows up in the mail are Spideys, but I have a nice run of OO Furys in an acid free box waiting for that one to be added to it. =)

    Two questions:

     

    1) What indicates that the comic is a 'Stan Lee File Copy'

    2) How do you determine the value of such a comic?

    With these books in particular, its hard to really figure value. I got that for less than the cost of slabbing it. Its a low grade book that would normally sell for $3 without the slab or the provenance. I just wanted a book that Stan Lee had. =) I didn't need it for my pedigreed run cause I have the Northland 28.
