Looks like it's finally time to try out that "Bill Me Later" thing that eBay and PayPal keep trying to get me signed up for!

[Spyder!]

So there is the actual date it was graded. I love seeing all the scans.

Looks fresher than new!

Grade date changed again

Comic Connect/Metropolis wont be able to claim the world record now after this

 

This just in, Vinnie and Fish on suicide watch

 

Classy.

 

I wouldn't be surprised if they end up getting involved in the purchase of this book (not necessarily for themselves, but on behalf of a client) to claim a piece of the action.

 

Emailed with the owner. He's well known by a few people around here. He said the book is committed to auction as planned but didn't say which one.

 

What an absolutely gorgeous looking copy.

[Spyder!]

I am betting the guy who owns the Cage 9.0 buys this one too. If your goal is to own the most valuable comic book on the planet (which will clearly be this 9.0 copy now) why not? I suspect we see the Cage copy back on the market within a few years because the same guy is going to own both.

I like that part of the proceeds are going to the Christopher and Dana Reeve Foundation.

You mean WHITE Pages

[Rip]

Wow very cool that you can flip through every page!

 

A truly amazing book. Would love to see the Church copy now.

[AlexanderM]

Looks like a little trouble with the corners on the back cover. The pages are whiter than white. Overall an amazing book...

why would that even need to happen ?

 

- ebay: open to a gazillion bidders

- tons of exposure 1 month before auction

- on the news everywhere

- every deep pocket collector/investor on the planet will know about it

 

why would the owner want/need to have Fishler cut into his profit ?

In the old days CGC would have given this a 9.4 if it was a Church copy as they always seems to ignore bindery tears.

[Silver Surfer]

The EBay add is pretty slick.
