Congrats on picking up that great Nightcrawler page! I was really admiring that. I'm a big Cockrum fan and I don't think the fact that Rubinstein inked it materially affects the value very much. As a general rule (not specific to this piece), I always recommend trying to double-check credits, with the caveat that GCD (comics.org) isn't always accurate. I've spotted some really egregious errors on there over the years, but it's definitely better than nothing.

I know I'm biased, but that seems like a bargain considering how great that page is.

Belated comment on the Cardy Superboy #197 cover -- that was the first issue where the Legion took over the book from Superboy, so for Legion fans, it's basically the #1 issue of their longest running series. This is equivalent to Incredible Hulk #102 or Captain America #100 -- a first issue without the #1 on it. I guess I'm a big Legion fan, because that price didn't seem so crazy to me and it's also a nice image by Cardy. I agree that the replacement stat is ugly! Hopefully the new owner will have that redone by a professional.

Thanks for the photos! I really wanted to go, but had a conflict I couldn't miss. Hopefully it was successful enough to warrant another show in the next year or so.
