If a true 9.0 it could easily sell for more than $3000, but feel Metro over grades on many of these books, but that is just my own observation from perusing their web site. They have serveral books I would like to own, but price and condition(or at least stated condition vs. the way the present in scan) have made me slow or not able to pull the trigger. I would prefer to buy a CGC book at that level, just to protect my arse!
As per AtlasTales, it's by Al Gabriele. He also did issues # 30 and 31.
Thanks for the info. It is still a very pretty book, just not sure it's a 9.0, but I do like that cover.
