Hey, thanks! Glad you liked 'em!

Impossible to say for sure. But my guess is that, in general, if demand increased substantially due to a massive (and unlikely) spike in prices, then, yeah, more high grade copies of these books could possibly emerge from personal collections. But which DC 100-pager, exactly, will EVER approach Hulk 181 in terms of overall collector demand? The only one that comes close is probably this one... DC SS #5 ...a book which, while obviously in shorter supply (in all grades) than Hulk 181, also has a much more limited overall appeal than the first appearance of Wolverine. And I really don't think that's likely to change. Do you?

I put my collection of these together back in the pre-internet early '90s, and was able to find most of 'em in higher grades (or really sharp mid-grades) for next to nothing. I bought a big chunk of the romance issues from Mile High (in VF/NM) for around $8 each, which seemed like a lot for (ugh!) romance comics back then. I think CBM or one of the fan mags also did an article on them in the mid-'90s (w/checklist), which probably increased their visibility somewhat, and put more people on the trail. So are they less common now than they were back then? Yeah, probably. But I agree with Greggy and Shep: they ARE out there...
