The issues in the teens are just so though to get in this kind of grade So, you are the lucky winning bidder! Congrats. I wondered if you had seen it. I almost sent you a message but figured by the time I saw it, it was probably too late. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

However, this one is in pretty amazing condition. Looks like the top graded is a 7.5. This one looks close to that. If I remember correctly the back cover looks real clean with a very, very light dust shadow. I was tempted to bid on it, but didn't. There are only 4 graded copies on the census, so this is a rare early issue find. If you end up getting it graded, let us know how it turns out.

Silver Posted March 22 Author Share Posted March 22 Probably the biggest update ever on project Sugar and Spike. My friendly competitor @Pacole retired from comic collecting and put his collection up for auction with Comic Connect. He and I competed for S&S issues for years, and he certainly had some I very much wanted to add to my set. He contacted me last year to let me know his books would be in this auction and I have patiently waited for last night. Not surprisingly, Sugar and Spike’s were not the only books he had that I coveted. I very much wanted his Gaines File Copies of Weird Fantasy 20 and Weird Science 10. While I pursued the Weird Fantasy (GFC 9.6 with a Feldstein signature!) I gave up and become the first underbidder. 😢 But oh did I add to the S&S set! Three new slots filled and nine upgrades! I need to check my stats but I think I am down to six issues left to have a complete CGC run of all 98 issues! Here we go! electricprune, bc and 1950's war comics 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

buttock Posted March 22 Share Posted March 22 Fantastic stuff! It's crazy to see a book that you've searched for for over a decade, and the nicest copy is a 4.5. electricprune 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
