I think this is one of the more popular covers in the run.  Probably as a result, there are 11 copies on the census, including a 9.2 (I assume it's the Church copy -- which Chuck listed as a NM+).  I bought this one raw on eBay several years ago and haven't managed to upgrade it in the interim.

For a while I thought this one was crazy tough, but there seem to be a few copies floating around.  There's a 9.4 on the census!  Apparently not the Church copy, though, because Chuck listed Edgar's copy as being only a Fair.

Chuck was just a really tight grader. Same book.

The 9.2 on the census is not the Church copy, but it is a very nice copy with cr-ow pages.

Interesting.  Apparently Edgar had a pretty good run of these, but I can't recall seeing many.  Metro had the Church copy of one issue (I'm forgetting which issue) on their site for a while at a stiff price.  Iirc, it disappeared during that mysterious episode a few years ago when they pulled all their Church copies from the site.

Another issue with few slabbed copies (highest is a 6.0) either because it's scarce (doesn't seem so in lower grades) or because it's not sufficiently desirable to bother slabbing (except by people like me!).
