I seem to remember , via the pages of the old CBG, a dealer named Mr. KOCH, selling a warehouse find of the Primer # 2.

 

Prior to that , the Primer # 2's were TRULY scarce.

 

THis was about 15 years ago (or more), and I seem to remember him selling them for $60.00 each.

 

I always think, when I see slabbed , high grade copies of this issue, that they probably originated from that find.

 

Anyone have any info or recollections on this ?

 

Yeah, he bought out all of Comico's back issues (along with a bunch of others). He had 100's of Primer #2. If you do a search I know there have been threads about it. For a bit he was selling copies at VF+ on ebay for less then $30 and many were coming back from CGC in the 9.0-9.6 range. That's is one of the main reasons it is so common in decent grades. I haven't checked the census on it in a long time but I remember there was something close to 100 copies between 9.2 and 9.6. 9.8's are a bit trickier. When I last checked there were only about 5 or 6 copies. I'm sure there are probably more now.

I don't know how often the census is updated, but as of today, there are 7 CGC 9.8 Primer #2's. ( :gossip: and 1 CGC SS 9.8 which hopefully is mine that's coming back to me)

great detective work. these Primers were birthed from the man in question. such a small tight knit community we all interact. :)
