VintageComics Posted June 11, 2008 Share Posted June 11, 2008 Those are really tough books in grade. #1 was hoarded because of the hype but sales went sour because it was ahead of it's time. Issues #4, 5 and 6 sales diminished drastically. #6 is the toughest and a black cover to boot. Congrats! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wally's Comics Posted June 11, 2008 Share Posted June 11, 2008 Nice book. I don't know why CGC didn't note "Wildcat working on a "Trophy Log"" If you know what I mean.... I was just thinking what a bizarre pose that was...then I read your reply and almost fell out of my chair laughing! I concur... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They came in damaged by PO. so had to send them back. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
