Not sure CGC will go higher than a 9.0 on a book from 1999. Checked GPA and it would still be worth it in my opinion to slab. Thread made me check my own unopened and unthought of copy. Nice and into the mylar!

Nice. Sweet looking 4.0 of a great book. Weak spine major culprit?

Since you asked ... You are correct about consideration and I don't believe a Court would ever require you to sell the book. That said it is a requirement on these boards to follow through and if you wish to remain an upstanding member you will do so. Dr. Wertham is smiling right now wherever he wound up.

I'd say anywhere from a 4.5 to a 6.0. Wish it were mine!

You should have seen what they wore in the sauna Muskoka circa 1975.

Beauties.

Lucky find at my LCS. Priced right so I couldn't resist.

Correction: SOLD FOR $275,000 (2/2014) , not 2004 ... so 2 years. Ouch ! Not seeing that sale on GPA? This sale seems soft but not that much out of line with other sales (sold for a low of $179k in 2014). Census has 8 universal 9.4 and one 9.6. Does anyone know when the 9.6 was graded?

Love it!

Awesome pickup Oakman! Knew you didn't need mine

Turtles!

Long way from having them all but here's another.

I might be digging a deeper hole but I'll try to justify. From the standpoints of value and rarity CGC 9.8 TMNT 2 and Star Wars 107 got the three discards beat. Plus neither are going anywhere in popular culture. I'll toss Omega Man 3 and add the Penthouse with Vanessa Williams and George Burns on the cover (and TL on the inside).

Personally I would drop XMen 221 and 248 and ASM 252. I'd add Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles 2, Star Wars 107 and Omega Man 3.

That was no boating accident.

Sorry about that. Photobucket jumbled my scans and I picked the wrong one. Here is the 187 back cover.

Such nice books.

Fun thread. Lots to add after this.

Got it scanned.

Finally scanned this one.

Finally scanned this this Amazing-Man 8. Scared to touch it honestly.

Item description says 3.5 photo is of 7.0. .

Nice book. Betty is wearing the same sweater as the Archie 50 cover.!

Here's a really good video that shed's some light on Chuck and Mile High comics.

Timely topic that made me do some investigating to cut through the hyperbole. Today a new Youtube video from Chuck. It's kind of funny given what Chuck says in the video (and the person apparently jump roping in the background). Chuck says they have no money and its led him to slash prices on all his moderns and lower grade bronze and older. Sadly from my research it's clear that, while on the right track, he's still over priced. As far as whether he is sitting on a hoard of high grade silver and early bronze. Put me in the disbelieve camp. In Tales from the Database written in 2003 he said he had 200k of the mile high 2 books left. Paying for his stores and all those employees for the last 13 years probably has already taken a big bite out of that.
