    The 27 is beautiful but has a coupon cut out of the back cover. When I get home tonight I'll look for the catalog that has all of the grades. Al graded conservatively, if I remember correctly. BTW, there's an interesting story about that 27 that I will regale people at a forum dinner.

    Weird, Scoop usually shows up pretty high in searches like that and they've covered it a few times. they referenced a few Lost valley sales, but I didn't see a description of the pedigree. Obviously I just didn't look hard enough I have floating around somewhere a Lost Valley catalog. The collection was headlined by very high grade early stuff - things you just never see. Complete sets of Wow, What a Magazine 1-4, very early (single digit) Detectives, stuff like that. Al's pricing was exceptionally aggressive, but he sold most of the big ticket books very early on. I know its heresy, but I would argue that on the VERY early stuff, the Lost Valley collection is equal to or better to the Church books. I have a bunch of Lost Valley books, they're quite nice.

    Kudos to JeffB to a great deal on some nice Tales from the Crypt. Undergraded and well packaged. I'll be back!

    Second appearance of Uncle Scrooge, but that's a tremendous price for that book.

    HUGE props to 143ksk for knocking All-Top 16 off my want list. The beautiful copy I coveted in Chicago is mineminemine. Thanks Steve!

    Not a Marvel, but a DC. Am looking to trade this for a FF 60 newsstand. The bizarre 35 cent variant of Amethyst 1, not listed in Overstreet.
