I like it at $500

 

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.

This ended last night on ebay. No, I did not win it I have been tinkering with the idea of putting this run together. This book ended right at $500.00. Is that a good price? A normal price for this book or a book in this run? Seemed a little pricey to me but I am not sure. I think there's a little more wear on the spine than is clearly visible in the pic. Could you press this book? Thoughts/opinions would be greatly appreciated.

Awesome! 2 books high on my want list. Nice job.

C'mon, you don't want that piece of junk anyway.

He shoots, he scores! Nice Rick.

I think it's hard to give up the focus on yourself. Until you have children, your life is primarily about what's best for you, when you have children, it becomes about what's best for them.

QFT

When you have kids you have to pull back sometimes and come to that realization that it isn't about you anymore.

I can say, with 100% conviction, that NOTHING is better than having children... no matter the trials and tribulations, or the sacrifices etc... NOTHING equals it!

I agree Rick.

For the OP, having kids changed everything, especially comic collecting as I pretty much stopped completely for a couple of years.

Sure, it's time consuming. Sometimes frustrating. Raising kids isn't cheap. But the perks far outweigh the negatives.

For a couple of years my wife and I were pretty much homebodies. Now we have 5 other couples we hang out with every weekend as our kids all live in the same neighborhoods, go to the same schools, play on the same soccer teams, etc...Probably none of these people we would have met were it not for our kids meeting their kids in school or at the pool.

Having kids rocks. And having a vasectomy rocks also!!!!! Just had mine on Oct. 23rd! I love my kids but I don't want anymore of them.

Major kudos to hockey&comicsguy for an amazing book and terrific packaging (thumbs u

GREAT BOOK! It's on my GGA list.

Wanna share where you got it?

Mike

and the granddaddy of my last heritage wins...also a prime pressing candidate (bc flaws, etc)....would get a 6.0 IMO

I love this book.

I'll second that. I've asked a couple of times already but Gozer ain't sellin.

So you're the one!

J/K Very nice. That's the only book I really, really wanted but alas, didn't feel like going over $600 for it. Very nice. I got dibs when you get sick of looking at that piece of junk.

Well, we finally won something:

(As I related Mike, avoid the 'Big Name Greed Merchant' I told you about and there are plenty of opportunities for great books and great deals out there. Well done, sir!)

It's been a month folks, show us the goods!

WOW! This is why I love GA and why I love this board. Just when i'm sick of work and ready to leave the office I log in and BAM!
