One of my regular local shops just made the news!

 

Great idea to advertise the sale. I'm assuming most shops do this when they want to sell a big ticket book by means of the shop itself and not at a show or at auction. It's gotta be a double win, advertising for the shop and also for the sale.

Cool. Not many details on book. Is the photo attached to the story the actual book? If so it looked fantastic. Maybe a frankenbook?

[Couchy81]

I'm tempted to go check it out in person. They have some other books I'm interested in anyways.

[gadzukes]

Are they auctioning it off at the store or on ebay or...?

 

It looks really nice.

I would love to hear the details of what you find out.

[Couchy81]

Apparently the picture in the article is actually the book, it's F/VF (A)

 

Not sure how they're selling it but if you're interested I'd shoot them an email

Made an offer with a friend. Wasn't good enough. Nothing I ever do is anymore.

Did you just call him a hardon?

[cheta42]

I wonder what the final sale price will be

 

 

[Dark Knight]

Nice looking copy. Interested to see how much it would sell for as well.

[cheta42]

Is that price in CAD$ ?

 

Yes

Yes!

[AJD]

OK, how many others here clicked on the 'woman in the gym' story.

[budsbundy]

I wonder if they are leaving that in the store at night?

I haven't been overwhelmed by the high tech security at any of the comic book stores I go to.

 

[Phantalien]

Is that price in CAD$ ?

 

Yes

 

Then that makes the comic $37k US

 

Doesn't seem too bad for a collector of fine vintage comics.
