Nice, Jerry!

[ThoseBackPages]

Bjorn, did you tell her yet?

[comicsnyc22]

Yes. I let go if my AF 15 to soften the blow. Every time I get that book, I get restless and let it go. Nice to chase but I can't seem to want to hold on to it.

 

I made a mistake in selling the B&B 28 I had. Stupid move on my part.

[ThoseBackPages]

i hear you.

 

now, please let us salivate and update that sig!

[comicsnyc22]

Will do. I think the CAF is a good hub for that stuff, but I'll be at least knocking out the AF15.

[JS]

Thanks guys about the page -- yeah this will be a nice 4-page framing job -- I own like 10 pages from the issue! Very excited..

Read #117 and #118 today (I was a bit behind)

 

So far... The war is.....

 

But, if you read about my reading the Invincible compendiums recently I'm use to seeing people ripped in half and heads torn off

[comicsnyc22]

9.9 is now up for $7,500. I think this'll probably sell off eBay, but I actually don't think it's a horrible price. They're just a year too late. Good luck to the seller.

It's the "rare" "white label" version. How many other people are tired of hearing this aside from me? Who cares??? It's a WD 1. That's all that should matter.

On that same topic, has there ever been any conclusive decision as to which of the two versions is more rare? The black or white label, I mean. I seem to see the white label up for sale on eBay more often...

 

Sorry if this has been discussed to death…I read about it on a thread forever ago but don't remember what forum/which thread...

[James J]

Thought the black one was the rare one

 

[ThoseBackPages]

the black one is tougher.

 

the people that say it isnt, are owners of the white ones

[comicsnyc22]

Black label is more rare. To me this isn't a question.

[bffnut]

And here is an statistical analysis to help determine which one is rarer:

it is the black label

[Mark 1]

Black label is less common. I wouldn't use the word rare.

 

It brings a slight premium...maybe an extra $100-$200. That's it.

 

Personally I didn't care which copy I owned.

 

 

[ItsJustRyan]

I could have bought a WD #1 in NM condition raw yesterday for $150..... But it was white label so I passed....

So I was thinking. If the Hero Blank Books were stolen, wouldn't that mean the people who own them would be in possession of stolen property. Couldn't CGC confiscate them and return them to their rightful owner? I'm confused

Good point. Only "rarer" than the white label.

We're they really stolen, though? From previous posts, it seems like artists were given multiple copies, in case they messed up.

[retrothecollector]

Page 2858 has the email that was sent to James from CGC saying that the books were stolen. So I don't know. All I know is that I need a HI book for my collection and registry, so I'll just hold out for one.
