Funny thing about this book... About 8-9 years ago, I was underbidder on a copy on ebay. It's before the days of slabbing, and this copy looked pretty nice on the scan. I think the seller even called it "uncirculated" Anyhow, after I lose the auction, he contacts me, and says he has another, and some other "like new" comics. He's wasn't a comic dealer, so I wasn't sure what to expect.
But I bite, and send him a check for the Great, and the Latest (2?) with B-29 the Bombadier. The books come, and they're pretty nice, so I email him and ask if he has any other copies of the Great. He asks me how many I want. I tried to find out how many he had, but he wouldn't really say. So I ordered three more. They were all really super clean copies. I sold or traded them off over the years, with the last one, slabbed at 9.4, going in the Summer 2002 Heritage auction. Anyhow, I know it's no Thing 17, but I wonder how many of these copies are out there. I should rummage through my files and see if I still have any contact information for the seller...
Nonetheless, it is a killer cover.
