[g-man]

$1300-1500?

[Bonds25]

It's a beauty, but I hate how off-centered it is.

 

I'm guessing it will sell for around $600.

[g-man]

$600? I hope u are right.

[supapimp]

whomever wins that book is buying the grade and not the book, before the advent of CGC, nobody would've graded this book NM/MT 9.8.

[ubiquiti]

holy f'n crud!!!

Thats AWESOME.

I'm selling my dog to buy it.

Time to sell my car & take the bus to work. 1 of my top 2 fave comic covers of ALL time. Other is a Frazetta Ghost Rider.

Bonds, this brings up my personal interest in 'Would you rather have off-centered allignment with no spine creases in 9.4 and above' or Would you rather have 5 to 11 spine breaks in beautifully alligned 6.0's to 7.5's'? Does age matter?

I assume you are joking Supa, because if you aren't, you're been smokin' some serious crack....that book is beautiful!!!!!!

[blowout]

A bit harsh supa. That cover is bone white and you could cut your hands on those corners they are so sharp.

Admitedly the cover is mis-wrapped slightly, but the cover is white so it doesn't detract too much.

Of course we all know the award of a 9.8 to a silver book is an arbitary CGC decision.

 

Still, I'm betting the book breaks $1K easily.

[chrisco37]

9.8 Steranko....Drooooooooooool!!!!!!!!

 

That's a 1K book for sure! Makes me cry. Mine is only 9.0.

Yep.....I'm betting it'll break a grand easily.........probably well beyond that mark for such a classic cover.

[fantastic_four]

I dunno if the scan is altering it or not, but that is one of the whitest covers on a 1960s book I've ever seen; I can't detect any yellowing or off-whitedness. Also, white covers like this are usually translucent against CGC's white microchamber paper, but I can't detect any of that on this copy. Absolutely BEAUTIFUL!

[Bonds25]

I guess my $600 guess won't win??

 

I think it's a beautiful issue, but still don't agree with a book that off-centered receiving a grade of 9.8. It really sticks out on that white cover.

So which frigging one is it?

[Bonds25]

I think it's obvious. I'm right, and Blowout is wrong!

[blowout]

I disagree

How can it REALLY stick out if both parts are the same color.

[supapimp]

matt,

 

it seems your the only one who agrees with me on the cover being off centered/miswrap. if that book was being sold raw in the old days before CGC, the spine would've turned off many anal potential buyers. cover is nice and white, but i hear many forum members queef and moan about covers being off centered or miswrap in HG given by CGC.
