    Great news! I hope you did well with that submission. :) 

    Mine is 3/20 so hopefully this means it will clear next week. Fingers crossed! :wishluck:

    Best of luck to you. One rather large win (which I got up charged for). Most were I expected but CGC loves to hammer DC Bronze horror - a few got nailed - which has been par for the course on these.

    The famed executive copy.  Well done man, what a beautiful book. All collections pale in comparison to yours.

    Not so sure about that but thank you. It’s been a long (and fun) journey.

    I mean for auctions in a lot of cases it's just because the buyer didn't pay for whatever reason. Many times it's probably just a case of second guessing and buyer's remorse. There wasn't enough time between listings to ship out, have it be returned, refunded, and then relisted.

    Likely. Someone got an even better deal second time around if that book is really 9.6.

    In my 30 or so years collecting CFD, I found an item I had never seen before. Couldn’t remember if I’ve ever shared here before or not. Couldn’t find anything on it so I reached out to Joe Linsner, who confirmed this appears to be photocopy of issue 1 that they used to shop around to prospective publishers. Said he hadn’t seen one in many years. They ultimately published the book themselves but this seems like a very cool item that pre-dates #1. Figured I’d share here for anyone searching this thread.

    The collections are so impressive. I went to dig some slabs from my own collection. They are nothing compared to what has been shared but I always thought mine were worth at most 50-100 bucks a slab. Nice to know they could be worth slightly more

    Congrats - that’s a great set of CFDs.:golfclap:

    I saw one for sale at the Baltimore CC two years ago, which happened to be the last time JML attended...and the dealer wanted 5 dimes for it, and got him down to 4500 and that was it.  Too much, I couldnt justify that even with being able to walk it over to JLM for him to put a eye tear on it and then walk it over to CGC and get a green/yellow label for it.

    Holy hell!  That’s insane.
