Yeah, I saw that one earlier too. Removing it will probably drop it to the same grade as the one I sold but the blue label would definitely bump the price up some. As a side note, my buyer made payment today as promised so I’ll be sending it out later. ADAMANTIUM, SuperBird and FoggyNelson 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't remember them all but thanks to indexers on the internet they come to light now and then and I can usually dive into the comic closet and find them.

WolverineX Posted July 27, 2021 Share Posted July 27, 2021 Obviously, I know the book is very rare. So when I said everywhere I meant there used to be at least three or four copies on eBay at all times. Now you only see an authentic copy come for sale every few months... only 2000 printed... who knows how many survived. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If I remember correctly, there are around 1600 in circulation while Dave Sim himself kept the remaining copies in the better condition from the printer for himself. Legend has it that he sells one every now and then but not often. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Funny thing is an authentic copy with his signature could end up in a qualified green label and scare a potential buyer away Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
batmiesta Posted July 27, 2021 Share Posted July 27, 2021 I check 9.6 on ebay most days, the prices people are asking now are just getting silly, I'm sure they just think of a number and add 2 or 3 noughts on the end, I mean is anyone buying this stuff?

It'd be great to make the connection, and see them all these years later. It's a valuable piece of history. After the passing of Stan, all the iconic greats of the medium have left us. This is hobby is nothing, if it's not about history, and it's own history of the people who made it. https://retromash.com/2017/03/03/that-time-when-a-teenage-paul-gambaccini-and-george-r-r-martin-appeared-in-the-fantastic-four/ ADAMANTIUM, jimjum12, Professor K and 1 other 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
