ciorac Posted December 23, 2008 Share Posted December 23, 2008 I so want to sit down and read these! I so want to transfer the ones in polyurethane bags into mylar! They are in mylar. Those are MyLite 2's. Really? Wow, I've never seen that kind of "poly rippling" in my Mylites. Flash and light artifact. They are brand new Mylite's.

shiverbones Posted December 23, 2008 Share Posted December 23, 2008 Well, I hate to follow that stunning book up with this, but hey, why not! It may not be pretty, but it's one of the hardest issues of the run to find, the 2nd to last issue before it became WDC&S. This is one of the comic book sized issues.

tth2 Posted December 23, 2008 Author Share Posted December 23, 2008 Thanks for all the compliments, guys! It's been a while since I bought a big ticket Duck book, but #9 is a book that I've been after for a long time, and despite the relatively large number of ultra-HG copies in the Census (2 9.4s, 1 9.6), I'd never even gotten a sniff of a really nice copy until now.

tb Posted December 23, 2008 Share Posted December 23, 2008 Really glad to see you got this, tth2. It surely was one of the biggest bargains of 2008. I know first hand that this book would have gone higher if it had not been because other collectors were waiting for the other keys in the same auction. This one fell through the alphabetical cracks big time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I know first hand that this book would have gone higher if it had not been because other collectors were waiting for the other keys in the same auction. This one fell through the alphabetical cracks big time. Thanks. I have to confess that I didn't actually expect to win it, and the winning bid was pretty much near the max of my bid, which I thought was a lowball bid. I mean, to win this for only $5K more than the most recent 9.4 FC 386 price was a shock. As you say, I think the big players had to keep their powder dry for the FC 16 and WDCS 1 auctions, and this book ended up falling by the wayside. If the auctions had been in reverse order, some of the losing bidders on those auctions might have been able to go after this book more aggressively. I guess that means I should go put it up on ComicLink right away. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tim that is an amazing book. The way I figure it, commodities prices being what they were in Nov., this was cheaper for Santa than a lump of coal.
