Wow!  It's even centered well with great PQ.  What a monster of a book that is. 

Congrats!

Any story with this?

[Rezin1234]

It's no 9.4 but it's still a really nice copy. So happy with it 

[kimik]

I can't remember if I posted this yet, but here is my current/latest copy:

Alright so I’m just going to ask, knowing that 121 in high grade, the highest grade is just almost impossible , what would the 9.4 go for ?

A boatload.  It's really hard to tell, but I would think multiple of 2 or 3X what a 9.2 would fetch.  Is a 9.2 worth 30K?  A 9.0 went for just shy of 22K this year.  I'd love to hear the background story of the 9.4.

My theory is that it is a previous 9.0/9.2 that was pressed up to a 9.4. Still wished I owned it though.

I'll probably never own a copy of 121 but I sure would like to as it came out 59 years ago this month which, coincidentally, is the same month I came out.

Not sure if Brian sold the 9.4 copy since he posted it here, but it will be up for auction with Pedigree soon.

Will be very interesting to see where it finishes.

Holy carp! The 7.5 cow pages sold for $10k in the May HA auction. Looks like some DC 10 ct SA keys are really blowing up in the higher grades.

I think Superboy 68 is primed.

Indeed. When Mr. Freeze first appeared in the Batman move...the demand of this book shot up.

Arnold Schwarzenegger was Mr. Freeze in Batman movie in early 1990's. Was the price of this book skyrocketed after that movie?

I am still waiting the copy but USPS is damn slowpoke!

This book just keeps moving on up. The latest CGC 5.0 sale on GPA is $2995 in May 2018, and the most recent recorded CGC 5.5 sales was $3500 in March.

I bought a mid grade copy and a beater about 6 years ago and they both have gone up nearly tenfold on what I paid for them.  Not sure of the price bump when Arnold played Mr. Freeze.

Really ? I haven’t checked GpA in a while for this book, it’s one of the books that if I sell, I’ll never get back in the same grade
