I remember picking up my last copy in 2014 which was a CGC 6.0 at $1500.00 thinking what a dumb a*s I was for over paying on that copy. Pretty happy I didn’t dump it…

I remember selling my VF copy for something like $190 because I was disappointed it wasn't a VFNM as advertised when I bought it.  I thought that since it was a Harvey I'd pick up a better copy down the line.  Oops.

You held to your standards.  The $30,000 you left on the table pales in comparison.

It is interesting how the market has just blown up on this book in the last few years vs other PCH. I’ve kept expecting Venus #19 to be a book that moves quickly too but it hasn’t happened. Nice gains but pretty standard price movement for a book that’s been considered classic Everett. Black Cat #50 is another just way, way up there now.

You were right, you are a complete dumb a*s.

With that in mind, and in the spirit of Board community, I am willing to recompense you for your foolishness by paying you your initial outlay and throwing in a bear claw.  

I will take the burden of this daft purchase on the chin.  :cry:

Just picked this up recently. A personal grail for me.

If the grade is 5.5, then I'm pretty sure that was my book until a few weeks ago.

Congrats.

We are forever linked. :foryou: lol

I really did not want to part with it but circumstances dictated otherwise.

It's a beautiful book, and you will never lose on it. Enjoy!

I don't hold sellers to that kind of expectation, If I see a book graded and advertised as a 9.4, I fully expect the book to be a 9.0 when I get it.

I remember a time long ago at SDCC when a dealer I don’t remember had multiple Harvey PCH file copies in small quantities. It was the end of the day and I spent most of my money. I bought BCM 50, TOT 15, Witches Tales 25 and a few others. Had to leave the COC 19. It wasn’t my favorite of the bunch at the time but I sure regret it now…:sorry:

I still don’t have one and strongly suspect my run of COC will forever stay incomplete.
