A forgotten Gem

Hot Stuff the Little Red Devil swap meet find for 25 cents.

 

I was around 9 years old (Now 31) when I found a Issue #1 Hot Stuff the Little Red Devil (Harvey Publication). I was with my parents at a swap meet in Texas and a guy was selling a lot of comics. As a 9 year old I did not truly understand the value of some of the books; however, I did find a issue #1 Hot Stuff for 25 cents and bought it. It has been sitting in my collection for years and forgotten about. It wasn't until I became a member of CGC that I started going through my comics that I came across it once again. It is currently being graded and no matter what I do with it, on if I am to sell it or keep it in my collection, I win. Honestly how many people can say they found a comic book from 1957 at a random swap meet and find a gem like this at that price. I will update once I have the final grade. My guess is it will be a 2.0 to 5.0, since I found it in rough condition, either way it is a 25 cent find of glory.

Update to my journal.

 

I have recently decided to sell my Hot Stuff comic and made a nice penny off of it. Who knew that a 25 cent investment would pay out so well. I ended up selling it on ebay and even after the fees from the sell I still made out like a bandit. I am sad to see this comic leave my collection, but it needed to find a new home to someone that really wanted it. So best of luck to the collector that bought it from me and I hope they enjoy comic more than I did.
