These 'scarcity books' are kind of funny. If I didn't read these boards I'd have no idea this was worth more than a few bucks, regardless of grade. this book's worth, like with many others i think, is relative to each collector. i tend to pay insane prices because i myself am a little insane (thumbs u Rest assured, no offense was meant at all. I love scarce books myself!, and am "hopelessly invested" in esoteric early Fox ones, among others. We collect what we love. (thumbs u none taken (thumbs u

i agree that they should not be 'marked' up in price but if you have been looking for years, like me, to secure a copy in any condition you will be happy to pay WAY over guide. trust me Ben

Ian, the book Jerome mentions above is the same book scott found on ebay. i do not know what he paid for it. I paid scott $400USD for it. it has a large chuck missing from the FC but otherwise complete.

thats great! it has white pages (thumbs u

how many arms does that gorilla have?

Great books Comicdey. Here's what they looked like before they were read: - you the man peter !

anyone got a NAC17?

Yeah, I was surprised you let it go so soon, but then you've "rented" quite a few nice books. Compare that book to some others that've sold for 45K and I agree it makes more sense to hold it than undersell it. Interesting this comes up at the same time as the Batman 1 since these were the best two instances I ever had of finding a match for a missing piece (although the back cover to this was actually nicer than the rest of the book, so it wasn't as unusual a match as the Bat 1). As you know, Rick, when you see scans of the original book and the donor back cover it seems less a big deal than it sounds, especially considering how common split spine books are in GA because of the way kids would fold them back to read them). Since the same poster asked about both books it might be educational to mention there was an actual "piece added" to the Tec 27 but as I recall it was a newsstand clip chip (common for that era) at the edge of the logo -- which meant the only replacement needed was in a solid color area. Not as minimal as filling in blank paper but still a world of difference between that and recreating text and/or artwork. (and I've seen more than a few GA books with a similar logo chip missing that were not greatly affected in grade) Well the C-Link Tec 27 PLOD 7.0 (Ext) looked unreal (more like a 9.0). It sold for just 10K more than the 4.5 listed now at CC. Perhaps that was the deal one should have had ...
