I put in a decent bid above $1000 but couldn't keep up with the big boys. With VG books going for $500+ a $1000 would have been a steal in my book. Married covers, married centerfolds, replaced staples, touch of glue or slight color touch are the closest to an unrestored as it gets. On an otherwise impossible book in high grade it's easy to overlook and bid it up.
But yeah, a blue label 9.2 would probably hit $4000 or so, similar to Little Dot 1 or Richie Rich 1 type figures.

Anyone know who the Big Boys are?
I love Standards..they are some of the best comics of the 50s. I was tempted to throw my hat into the ring, but I resisted!
