Are we going to see a retraction? 6 retractions in the past month by the high bidder that has barely joined ebay on February 4, 2003

It would be interesting to see what these books would bring individually. The Nabisco issue in 9.6 sells for $225 and up.

Yes! I was very disappointed when I was the first one to see your BIN and couldn't hit it since I didn't have the cash to spend at the time! If it was up now with even a $250 BIN I would hit it

Am I missing something here? Why so much? They must be rare....so excuse my ignorance of the theme.

[Rickdogg]

I don't think anyone knows the exact # distributed. Coupled with the fact that it was a giveaway and has a dark cover...who knows how many survived in high grade?

[Guest]

Sort of like GI JOE Special #1?

[Rickdogg]

I don't believe the Special was a mail away. It was printed 2 months after the final issue #155 with McFarlane interiors.

STILL looking for that 9.8

[Guest]

I think Hasbro had them printed up as a give-away...they didnt print too many of them...5000 copies.

[MonumentalCo]

The Nabisco Wolverine issue is scarce for several reasons. The Nabisco issue was a very limited release and the exact numbers are not known. Rumor is that approx. 2,000 copies were released and that the book was available only by mailing away for it. Then add to the fact that both covers are black and will show fingerprints easy and you have a hard to find book. This book is super tough and I can say this from experience as I owned one of the CGC 9.6's. I was concerned about it when it came in the mail as who knows how the previous owner handled it. I also wore gloves when I handled this book as this book makes the Spider-Man #36 look easy in high grade. I hope this info. on the book helps. If there was ever a list of the rarest Modern comics this would easily be one of them!

Thanks..

I think that when the Joe 21 finally arrives in 9.8, it'll go higher than $500. There are too many people willing to pay $500 for a 9.8. And if this book can reach over $700, so can the joe 21.

[Guest]

Ill probably be the one paying the steep price for that book, (if it ever exists)

[Guest]

I also wonder why collectors and dealers arent ACTIVELY (not passively like most do) searching for this book when they know they can make a killing on it?? Ive been looking for years and I still havent found one.

I had the opportunity to order a few of these books as I love those Vanilla Wafers they put out..had enough for 3 books, filled it out, put it into an envelope..never sent them out..
