A couple of the PHM books I bid on went for much higher than I was expecting, but I did manage to score one today. Every copy of this book that I've seen available has had at least some degree of tanning along the edges ... the photo of this one isn't great so I'm hoping it's not too bad in hand. Good looking book! The first copy of this book I owned had similar tanning, and I paid a very pretty penny to upgrade .5 in grade without the common tanning.

I'd say you got a very solid deal on the book. Other than the #1 this is likely the most expensive pre-hero in the run. I bought a digital reprint of it yesterday so I can read it. I used to crack open CGC comics for precisely that reason but now that I’m a member and know how much it costs to get books slabbed, I don’t do that anymore. The Russ Heath story at the beginning is so well drawn. mysterio 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That’s a nice looking copy Sweet Lou. Here’s mine that I bought raw on eBay about 10 years ago. Jasonmorris1000000 and Sweet Lou 14 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Commissioner Posted December 22, 2020 Share Posted December 22, 2020 I was looking at previous posts and saw that @Jasonmorris1000000 just bought a copy of JIM #6, and I know that @mysterio has a copy as well. Maybe we should turn this into the JIM #6 club! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Commissioner Posted December 22, 2020 Share Posted December 22, 2020 I'll need to see if I can post a better picture or a scan of my copy tonight. My scanner does a terrible job at scanning graded books, but this is an older slab so it may come out a little better. Stay tuned!

bc Posted December 23, 2020 Share Posted December 23, 2020 Wow - get put on injured reserve for a month and come back to new board software and a bunch of catching up to do.... @jayhawker, @Sweet Lou 14, @Jasonmorris1000000 Great books all! Thanks to @The Commissioner for remembering the December theme @mysterio Love the update on your progress on the JIM run Got to admit every time I see one hit the auction block, I secretly wonder if you're in the running. Anybody happen to see the last CommicConnect auction? A Tales of Suspense 2 in CGC 8.0 ( a real sweet copy) hammered at $6,500 ! According to my poorly maintained records, think it's the highest price paid for a non-key PHM (let alone an 8.0). Even the Shasta Lake uber-grade books didn't go this high. My congrats to the new steward! Made me wonder if @KirbyJack hit the lottery Merry Christmas All! -bc Sweet Lou 14, Jasonmorris1000000, mysterio and 1 other 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
