Yeah, the more I look at it the more I wish I would've upped my bid. I wonder if this is a book that would be good for pressing. I don't know thing one about pressing though.
I haven't tracked the book lately, but it used to be considered the most desirable of the Schomburg airbrush covers for Wonder, and would typically sell for at 2-3X what the surrounding issues did, sometimes more. That copy looks to be a solid 6.5, maybe even a 7.0, so the price seems about right, though probably not a bargain.
Good stuff, thanks for the info.
I did look at the guide and figured this was worth some multiple but I just couldn't convince myself what the book would grade at. Would it be a 5.0 or a 7.0? If I knew for sure it was unrestored and was on the 6.5 to 7.0 side, $500 actually seems like a decent price. I suppose, if press-able, the book might have even more potential.
