I Miss Dave (Stevens, that is) 9 9

[Shark]

You guys are talking about the 3-D Zone 16?

[Bosco685]

Yup. Michael had found a gorgeous raw that he sent into CGC, and it came back a 9.2 - which I thought was not a bad grade at all on such a tough book.

 

But us Stevens nuts demand top-quality.

I'm assuming that NM means "newly mauled"? linkster

NM = Never Mint

Oh, FYI...just after we mentioned it yesterday there is a Space Vixen NM on the bay... a little pricey for my tastes but if it truly is NM it would be worth it after slabbing.

[Mayor006]

Now this....

 

Seriously? I know we kid about NM on the bay but geez....

That's the same board member that sold two others, including a Buy Now that shocked even him. Elijah Snow.

 

yeah, i was kinda knocked over too lol/ I priced it high so i could keep it for a while. (it's currently on the wall in my comic room.) So.......i think it lasted around 2 months at that price. Luckily i got another one recently. It's not as nice, but i can put it right back on the wall

 

 

Interesting time to bring up pricey Stevens books, as this just knocked me over.

Seriously - $70 for this book? I can't believe someone paid that much.

 

 

Board member Elijah Snow must be shaking his head even since this is his Ebay account.

I've seen 3 second printings of that book (Quack #1) this year out at shows, which is rather strange as I haven't run into ANY 1st prints...

 

What in the books has told you that the Quack #1's you have seen were 2nd prints? Currently known information via various underground comix price guides and web sites says there is only one printing of all issues of Quack.

[Bosco685]

Huh. Here's one I didn't think I'd see slabbed. Reynold Jay landed a 9.8 with it too.

 

Rocketeer Souvenir Book

 

[Bosco685]

Wow! Looking back through his auctions, Reynold Jay has made some big money off of selling high-grade Stevens books. And the amazing thing is it is constant repeats of the same books (Starslayer 1, Starslayer 2, Starslayer 3, King Kong 1, Jungle Comics 1, Pacific Presents 1, Pacific Presents 2, etc.).

 

It's good to have a high-grade stash during these times.

[Mayor006]

As competitive as this bunch around here is, I don't doubt it!

 

My registry set is under constant attack by Sharks and Crows! ::

[Real Elijah Snow]

It's the nicest one i've had. It's got a spine ding pretty close to parallel with the chick on the rights tattoo. It's tough to see, but you can barely make it out in the scan. I think easy 9.4 maybe 9.6/ I don't think 9.8 with the little crease and the one slightly soft corner but who knows these days...It's posted currently on my "space vixens" slot on the wall. Def. my favorite Stevens cover.

What do these get at 9.4/9.6 slabbed? I figured if it didn't get a 9.8 it wouldn't be worth messing with. I've got a nice stack of "very likely 9.8's" that i was thinking of sending in sorta soon.........
