Wrightson fan Posted June 3, 2008 Share Posted June 3, 2008 I had to save all my pennies for this one, but it was worth it. I figured I won't get many shots at the WM copy of what may be Heath's finest horror cover. I'm going to try to set a record for time from receipt to cracking of slab. I was wondering if anyone from the boards might get this one. I was initially going to hit this copy hard...but decided to pass when I began to get the feeling it was going stratospheric. I applaud your taste in pre-codes and really wanted it, but I had to "settle" for another of Weist's White Mountains. Congrats to you on this GREAT book.

Buck Biggins Posted June 3, 2008 Share Posted June 3, 2008 I really need to use a snipe service. I was prepared to go up a lot higher on that book. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wrightson fan Posted June 3, 2008 Share Posted June 3, 2008 I was too. But fortunately my bid, which was a snipe by the way, fell far short of my maximum. I pretty much bought a #1 pre-code Atlas with ow/w pages, White Mountain for OPG. I watched alot of Weist's lots end, and I personally think I may have made the best purchase of the night......I feel very lucky to have picked it up for the price that I did. About damned time I got a good deal on ebay. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
buttock Posted June 3, 2008 Share Posted June 3, 2008 Yup. I think the fact that a lot of them weren't 9.4 helped keep them (reasonably) affordable. But as you said, it's a WM Atlas. They're not exactly growing on trees, and a 9.4 Bethlehem or River City or non-ped might not be near as appealing. Congrats on the Uncanny Tales. Definitely the deal of his Atlas stuff. I think his Funny Picture Stories nn was an ultra-steal as he didn't market it appropriately. There are only 3 copies of that of which I'm aware.

Wrightson fan Posted June 3, 2008 Share Posted June 3, 2008 I also finalized a deal on another White Mountain. Don't want to say what it is as I don't have the book in hand, and it will be a month or so before I have it. I will say this though.....it will be the crown jewel in my collection thus far and a book I have wanted for, oh... about 20 years. It is a pre-code, but not an Atlas.
