CBG reported Bechara paid off the Mile High Supe 1 in 1996. Time pymts totalling approx. $180-186k were made to Red Beard. Back then (pre-eBay) Red Beard faxed a list out to the elite collectors once a yr containing choice comics or orig art that he would pull out of his personal stash. His sales list was good for 1 week, but most items were sold out in 3 days flat.

Whoa, there is a picture of that Zip Comics 7 in back of Overstreet #31. Here's a scan of it; sorry about the image quality, this happens every time I scan a magazine:

Wow, how ugly, I'm sure that'd be a 9.0 had it been a modern comic.

I'm not seeing anything wrong with it, other than possibly a small tick in the upper left corner, but it could be something in the scanner or the picture.

 

It looks very nice to me!

it's the superman 1. Someone around here said it had already been graded and is the VF 8.0 in the census.

As I said elsewhere, it's a beautiful book. I haven't seen that many superman 1s in my time, so each of them make an impression, but that one really made an impression. It looks more like a VF/NM, but apparently there are internal flaws that dropped the book down a grade.

I've dealt with Red Beard on a number of occasions since the early 90s... He did mention something about his personal stash being available on a limited basis. I check his website and see him at conventions all the time... He doesn't seem to have very good stuff anymore... Am I wrong? Does he still have the stash hidden away?

[Crowzilla]

That might of been me.

 

It was graded, and it is the 8.0 that you see listed in the census.

 

And Dave Anderson has the Mile High Action #1-20 - not just the #1.

pretty nice run.

Are the rest of the mile high Actions scattered or does anyone else own a big chunk. I heard that a collector went out and aquired Detective #1-100 mile high during the batman movie craze. Is there any truth to that? If so anyone know who ownes them?

[chrisco37]

I'm not sure but I doubt it. That would be a really expensive purchase, especially considering Bats didn't even show up until #27.
