At this point though, I have to put my Crow addiction and every other addiction on hold because this one just covered me for the next 5 birthdays . My eyes aren't the best, but your 9.8 looks immaculate Take care and best to you in your hunt for that treasured #3 That’s awesome! Congrats! It might have covered 5 birthdays but as you said, they are hard to come by. That book is a beaut. Thank you for the compliments and you’re most welcome for the inspiration. If you see a 9.8 #3 out there let me know! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The “9.2 pool” is better than sitting on the side lines my man. It’s still a high grade book. oakman29 and Ira K 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This is Who We Are Posted March 17, 2019 Share Posted March 17, 2019 I saw the comic Baker Street #2 carries a very early advertisement of the Crow on the back cover and am wondering if this obscure comic would be worthy of getting slabbed. I couldn't find this comic in CGC's census. I have one in very minty condition but if it's not truly considered associated with the original canon, don't want to get lost in the weeds chasing anything and everything related to the crow. Thanks for anyone's expertise. Regardless, it's a pretty sweet advertisement IMHO Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vikingreed Posted March 17, 2019 Share Posted March 17, 2019 It's part of the complete Crow registry set, and is a cool book imo. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vikingreed Posted March 17, 2019 Share Posted March 17, 2019 I am stunned to see how much the 9.8's have risen over the last several years. #1 9.8 was a less than $1K book a couple years ago. Parabellum 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We can now refer to that price point as the "good old days" I suppose. These just don't come up. ComicLink even highlighted that the one above was only the 2nd time they've had the privilege of auctioning off a copy in that grade, which is pretty mind-boggling IMHO Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think based on general availability, Caliber presents 1 can be acquired more readily than Crow 1. Caliber presents 1 may be given credit as the 1st appearance but personally I prefer a 1st appearance character to be on the cover and though it doesn’t get that credit Crow 1 doesn’t disappoint. Hard to find in higher grades with that all black cover. Edited March 28, 2019 by Matt Ramsey oakman29 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
