OK. The reason I ask is that those 8 snips are all from "No-Dot" copies. Any thoughts, @The Lions Den? The copies with the dot all have much cleaner lines around the letters. (A couple of them have a tiny bit of red below the G, but less than what's seen on the "No-Dot" copies.) These snips are from the first 8 blue-label "Dot" copies that I found on HA. You can see how much cleaner the lines are. The last image is one that's closest to the "No-Dot" copies; I suspect that one was printed around the time in the print run when the plate changed.

Since you seem to know something about printing plates, I'll direct this question to you. Anyone else who is familiar with printing should feel free to chime in. Take a look at these 8 snips from Batman 1s. Do you see how the red along the bottom of the G in "SPRING" looks a bit blurry? (You can see a similar characteristic on other letters, too, such as on the bottom of the S in "SPRING.") Do you know what could cause that? Could it be from burrs on the plate early in the print run? Could it from wear to the plate or buildup late in the print run?

Little Giant old school comic book show April 13 Concord NH

Guests are the reason I stopped going to comic shows. I do no want to pay $20 or $30 to be able to see dealers' wares just because there are guests. To me that's like paying admission to go to the store. I couldn't care less about the guests. Maybe these shows could have a shopping-only admission price and a separate, higher price for people who want to have access to the guests. -

Is that a reference to Rob's departure and the eleventh-hour-scan fiasco? Neither seemed to hurt the prices realized on the Jon Berk and Phil Cole books that were just sold. They have a large enough customer base that there aren't going to be any deals on anything. There are too many eyes on their auctions, just like there are too many eyes on HA's auctions for anything good to fly under the radar.

What's the book? I'm sure we'd all love to see it! -

Back around 2013 or 2014, the camp Whiz 55 was on eBay for months (or maybe years), and no one would pull the trigger on it. I can't remember what the asking price was, but it would probably look like a bargain now. (I thought about buying it, but the cover is one of the goofier ones.)

You have to understand that there are some collectors out there who will pay almost any amount for the bragging rights to owning the only (for now) 9.9 copy of a key issue (even if there are a few dozen 9.8s that look nicer—and there probably are). I will not be surprised if it hits $200K. So you think it will hit $200K or $500K?
