Interesting suggestive cover, I really like it. Cool book Steve and a remarkable copy. Now post some of those cool beaters you got from Harley that I stupidly passed on...

The others weren't half-bad. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ricksneatstuff Posted April 11, 2017 Share Posted April 11, 2017 You know it took me 3 years to "put together" a copy of this book and I put it up for sale here for some reason. I realized though in a conversation with another boardie that I really have no desire at all to sell this book. It is brutally tough and it will be hard to ever see another copy. Sometimes, for me, I am always looking for the next great book and I need to take a little more time to enjoy the last great book. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The thrill of the hunt is great, of course, but the warm glow of the fireplace in the trophy room is my favorite part. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yorick Posted April 11, 2017 Share Posted April 11, 2017 I just got this back from CGC today. I was hoping for a higher grade only because I've never seen another copy with such amazing reds. Turned out to be a 4.0. Oh well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

People used to say that APC 18 was the toughest in that run, but I actually think this issue is tougher. My copy is a raw Good. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There were only a few copies from APC that I was ever interested in. 18 was not one of them, but I'm pretty sure I've seen at least one copy for sale in the last 5 years.

For a 'tall' issue, that's a beauty (a million times better than the beater Bob and I saw at WonderCon). I have a copy on hold via a dealer, but he can't find the book (still searching)!

Robot Man Posted April 11, 2017 Share Posted April 11, 2017 I probably should have tried to talk Harley down on it. Beater is better than nothing and I really like this one. I'm just a poor shmoo and don't have the connections that you guys do... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

APC 18 is supposedly a Gerber 8, but in reality I don't think it is. I've seen several copies for sale, although I've never seen one in high grade.
