Final price reduction.

Final price $1,650

It will be listed here till Sunday when I will remove and transfer to eBay for a higher price.

Any questions, don't hesitate to ask me here or privately by message.

Further reduction to $1,880

Price reduction $220 to new price $1,980 (shipping included)

I have been asked my thoughts on grade.  I think this would grade as a 2.5 and have priced it accordingly.

Love the Centaurs presents very nice 

It was a run I tried to complete and enjoyed even though I failed.

Please include me

Not really. IF I was home waiting for a package and I got a text saying it had been delivered, I'd notify the seller. Wouldn't you? I'm not saying this isn't a scam but the message doesn't show me anything.

Happened to me once.

Had won a book at Heritage was home waiting for delivery when the Mail came confirming it had been delivered.  
I was panicking as it was the most I had ever spent on a book and didn’t have the book.  
Phoned FedEx, phoned Heritage with little help.

Half an hour later the neighbour knocked on the door holding the package.  It seems that I hadn’t heard the knocking so they had left it with the neighbour.

My better half was surprised that Fishler was so cavalier with these expensive keys as he was just whipping them out of the holders without paying too much attention to them at all while talking to you at the same time, as though they were just your regular worthless new books that had just come out last week.  

Especially in comparison to Robert Roter from PCE which my kids found rather funny as he would slowly put on his pair of white gloves on

I remember going to Metro’s office to look at some books in the mid 2000s.

I’d put my hand in my pocket to pull out my wants list when Fishler exclaimed that he was about to abuse me for pulling out gloves to wear.

How can you tell whether or not the book even has those mentioned issues??  Maybe those are a mistake too.

You can pay for the CGC notes if interested in purchasing the book.

BTW, do you remember this book?  I bought it from you some time ago here on the boards on my way to finishing my Nedor runs.

Loved that book.  Glad it has found a good home

In 2012 I spent three days with Stan and his team at London Super Con.  You could see how much he enjoyed spending time with comic fans.  

One evening we had a private meet Stan Lee event with 50 fans and he was happy for each fan to ask him directly a question.  What was scheduled to be an hour event went on for 2 hours. I hope I have the energy at 55 that he displayed when 89.

He will be missed

Cool - thanks.  If you track it, would you post what it hammers at with BP?  

Will do

Is someone selling it, George?  

BTW, not interested  but just curious what the seller said if anything about it,

It’s in a UK auction but hats off to the auctioneer who has disclosed the restoration in the auction listing.

Came across this on the internet and it's a reminder to check the whole label not just the grade.  It has to be a quality control error!

Anyone seen a worse example?

To clarify... I meant if I was consigning it, and I knew the cf was not detached, I’d want it fixed... as in blue label that doesn’t say “cf detached.”

In other words I don’t trust the motives of the seller on this one.

Is this book recently slabbed?

Seller may not have seen the slab.

I have, in the past, consigned books to Heritage and asked them to CGC them for me as it reduces shipping costs (weight of package to Heritage of unslabbed books from UK rather than slabbed books crossing the Atlantic back and forth).

Haven’t seen anything on  it here in the boards. Very cool. What’s the History on this copy ?  Highest graded copy ??

John Verzyl used to own the Denver.  He traded it when buying the Church copy.

I owned it till 2012 when I sold it to John (bought for a client).

Not sure what happened after that.

I always thought it was the third best book as the writing on the Pay Copy, though historic, makes the book look ugly.

Sad to hear.  Always enjoyed the chats and tales at his booth over the years.

RIP Jon

Joint 12th highest graded Action vs 14th highest Tec 

i think the Action will go higher but I’d prefer the Tec.

I hope the sale goes through.

It would be good to see the X-Men and the Fantastic Four in the MCU and hopefully to see the Fantastic Four back in print.  

The only negative is that back issues of FF and X-Men have been relatively cheap.

You really think so?  The color loss on the spine and the 1" crease on the bottom right corner would really bother me in a 9.2 holder.

Was thinking the same
