That was over a year ago too. Action252Kid 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well I'm glad that one wasn't in a grading contest! Is the back considerably worse? That's a very pretty 2.0 Rick. Here's mine Full disclosure: it's a coverless copy with a repro cover. I still love it. Point Five 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I collect Peanuts, and would love a decent looking 5.0 copy, but that looks more and more unlikely now.

Ricksneatstuff Posted June 18, 2018 Share Posted June 18, 2018 Finally have achieved the Holy Trifecta of Peanuts Comic Collecting. All low grade but getting the Tip Top has been a long journey to get. This will be cross posted in the cigar thread. batman_fan and TheWatcher 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I am sure it will go well beyond what I want to pay. I still remember 143ksk showing me a raw copy or two he picked up at WWC for under $50, back when this book was WAY below the radar.

Actually my 2.0 presents well enough that it does the trick for me. This book has had a lot of attention this last year and I expect it will do well.

Even though the peanuts 1 shot is listed as scarce. I have seen more examples for sale than the other 2. Whats your opinion?

I think there are probably copies of it sitting in old comic shop boxes for $5 or at flea markets though. Really, the same could be said of United 21. When a 1.0 sells for over $1300 and it is the single example on GPA you have a pretty uncommon book. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just thrilled to have them at all. Some surprisingly difficult books to pick up. My world of Peanuts is pretty full now, although I do not have all the Tip Tops, and I am OK with that... for now. Have the Dell and Gold Key Peanuts, including a bunch of file copies, have some original strips, have the Hungerford figures and the Lego bobbleheads and of course all The Complete Peanuts volumes. Yes, I also have lots of dust on my bookshelves. Edited June 18, 2018 by Ricksneatstuff Moondog and wolverine180 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
