Hedge Collector Posted August 22, 2009 Share Posted August 22, 2009 Membership is currently $170 right now. http://www.metropoliscomics.com/load_bookDetails.php?id=293281&set=1301 I posted this a month ago when I found it on Metropolis for $170. I guess rusty staples might go for more on Ebay? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Makmorn Posted August 22, 2009 Share Posted August 22, 2009 What a lovely specimen, maybe it was used to polish a car or something, if only it could talk and tell us it's side of the story or why it was abused. (most likely it would scream in agony) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

G.A.tor Posted August 23, 2009 Share Posted August 23, 2009 one thing we have to remember is that everyone grades books differently... the stain on harley's 5.0 would only get a 4.0 from cgc... that is not to say that some folks won't and don't think it is a 5.0...it certainly looked better than the technical grade, but I am pretty good at nailing how cgc will grade books (comes from submitting litterally thousands of books over the years), and in my opinion, it would only get a 4.0 if cgc'd... again, that is just another opinion to the grade... I personally graded it lower, but that is me Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dark Knight Posted August 23, 2009 Share Posted August 23, 2009 Well I wouldn't be so sure about that. What if they are waiting till the move comes closer to theatres?
