  1. I believe besides me, Marmat and Black Lantern bought that comics from a older Gentleman from Munich a couple of years ago. He told me that when he was a kid in the late 40s/early 50s his mother had a paper shop in Munich and the G.I.s brought regularly old comics to the shop. Mainly DC and Fox GGA. I believe BL bought a PL 17 from him (?). All books were stamped US Zone.

  2. 9.0, $ 690 shipped, paypal. Returns at your expense, no probation or Hos members. The blurr you see on left front cover in the purple area is the glare of the sun. I took another pic with the comic in the bag.

    FYI: I got the comic from a seller I bought many comics over the years. I was always happy with. He also graded it a 9.0. A couple of years I bought 3 10 cents Tecs from 1960 from him graded raw as 9.0. I sent them to CGC and all came back 9.0 (note: this is no a guarantee just an info).

    There was someone a couple of years ago buying up everyone that showed up on eBay for insane prices. Multiple copies, every time the came on. Created a bit of a frenzy on this title. Why? I don't know. This title as a whole is really no better or harder to find than any other Atlas horror title. A lot of people bought into it literally. Then there was #51 that was used on the Lost TV show. Everybody wanted it driving the price through the roof.

    I suspect that this buyer is bored with his hoard or wants to divest. Thus, lots turning up at once. I'm pretty sure this fool will lose money when the hammer falls...

    A new sucker is born every day.

    From what I know there is no VAT tax for comics coming into the UK, shipping will be much cheaper to ship to London, etc.

    What sort of customs problems do you have?

    Here and there a package got stuck in the customs.Then I had to drive there to get the book. 20 km forth and back. Thats why I seldom buy from US anymore. Plus shipping prices are so high now. Ten years ago a Parcel in which 10 comics or so could be stuck cost 18 $  or so to Germany with USPS, Thats no longer possible. 

  5. There is an oversupply of money. Thats why you see record prices like in the Rockefellert Art collection auction. The people who have this luxury problem try to save their money in investing in all sorts of commodities. Art is is great for this purpose. Small, transportable and you can put millions in one painting. I think at least in the high end of comics the money also trickles in that market.
