Larryw7 Posted July 23, 2013 Share Posted July 23, 2013 Picked this up at SD. Decent mid grade with nice paper. I have most issues from this title, and had this one a while back but sold it. Love to have a high grade, but even in middle grade it seems to be quite elusive. Super late run cover. Always one of my favorite Mister Mystery covers, and it's pretty underrated. Nice copy!

I always get a chuckle from looking at that cover. Every mummy keeps a role of tape for repairs but perhaps a little duck tape would be more appropriate. The interior of those comics contain some choice panels that would give even Wertham bad dreams. e.g. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Oh that's the one I was bidding on too, thought this was the same one at first glance. Wonder who won the HA one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr.Illmannered Posted July 25, 2013 Share Posted July 25, 2013 Yes, sorry I just saw what you meant...I was bidding on the HA one as well due to its beautiful page quality but once it got over 900 I realized someone wanted it much more than I did!

Yeah, it sold for a crazy price for being 1 of 4 in that grade, especially since it was barely a 9.4 and really has no chance of being "upgraded" via pressing. (I sympathize with the winning bidder, though; I freely admit that I'm an addict and have happily bid way over FMV on books I felt like I HAD to have.)

I've realized that as much as I scoff at buy-it-now prices, I usually end up getting a worse deal in auctions due to my lack of self control. So, the other day, I went ahead and picked up this one on CConnect at the BIN price. (It was a consignment item, so the chances of my actually getting it are probably 50/50.) It is a highest-graded copy, though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I remember being called crazy in the late 90s for paying double or triple Guide for WM 2,3,4,5,6. Don't think you paid too much at all!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Twistty1 Posted July 28, 2013 Share Posted July 28, 2013 Nice books. The JIF looks familiar. I love the uncanny, one of my favorite pch covers. I love the eyes on the skull and the lighting on the shovel. Sounds weird but that's just what appeals to me on this one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was around Ted's table a bit; got some consignments from him. He's cool. Known him 25 years now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
