I have a questions for you guys. I was looking at that pretty MMC #32 on Metro's site. Who is the cover artist? I don't think it's Schromburg, but who? Cool cover and a nice looking copy I thought. I'm kinda of scared to even call and ask what the price would be. Do you think it would go for over $3000? That's a book I don't see very often. VF/NM? confused-smiley-013.gif

 

If a true 9.0 it could easily sell for more than $3000, but feel Metro over grades on many of these books, but that is just my own observation from perusing their web site. They have serveral books I would like to own, but price and condition(or at least stated condition vs. the way the present in scan) have made me slow or not able to pull the trigger. I would prefer to buy a CGC book at that level, just to protect my arse!

As per AtlasTales, it's by Al Gabriele. He also did issues # 30 and 31.

Thanks for the info. It is still a very pretty book, just not sure it's a 9.0, but I do like that cover. 893scratchchin-thumb.gif

rahigh, you are very prescient--this is a fairly rare book. i was ruthlessly beaten out of my beautiful copy of this book years ago by some guy with a trade offer i couldn't/didn't refuse--i replaced it immediately with a beater as i had the run almost complete and couldn't have the hole. it took me FOREVER to upgrade to a fine'ish type book, which i've had just a few months.

I half way remember it, but half of me says it would still be a complete set. The other half says no. Post it and maybe someone can fill in the blank.

right about the grade I figured...in the lower good range....

Rick sell me this book, it looks awful, detached cover and all is not worthy of a collector of your stature. shy.gif

I am actually debating (gasp!) having Matt restore it....it is a perfect candidate...but, to be honest, it presents extremely well for the grade, so I am on the fence this time...

Keep it BLUE LABEL Rick thumbsup2.gif

A very tough issue to find in high grade. Book looks amazing in person.

That is a beautiful copy. And, as Stephen says, one of the tougher numbers.
