Not so pretty but you can read it without fear of changing the grade

 

Love it!!!!

CGC census shows 9 Universal, 5 Restored, and 1 Qualified. If memory serves, I read a claim that the 9.4 and 9.2 in the census are the same book in different holders. In any case, several boardies have a copy of this book, here's mine:

 

 

Great to see it again after 30 years.

I own the book. The split is only to the bottom staple.

The CGC 9.4 in the upcoming Heritage auction is gorgeous.

 

Note that Gerber lists Wonder 1 as "rare", but it isn't (Overstreet has the book being "scarce").

Gorgeous copy with a beautiful spine!

 

I don't recall ever seeing any art from the inside of this book. Does anyone have pictures?

I am wondering if I am seeing signs of someone building a war chest to go after this copy

Wow ! Talk about giving the HA copy a run for its money.

[geofan]

Great thread guys…Super impressive books!

 

While I don't have a copy of the book, I do have a back cover to a

Wonder Comics 1…I would like to find a coverless copy or a front cover!

 

So if anyone reading this has a cover lying around or a coverless copy put away

for safekeeping, contact me and help me put this Wonder Comics 1 together.

Wow ! Talk about giving the HA copy a run for its money.

 

Thanks Peter - there's a 1/4" top spine split and a small bindery chip on the back cover, so the HA copy is technically better.

 

Wonder Comics 1 is such a beautiful and historically significant book.

Anybody know why the Allen Town copy is QUALIFIED ?

When I owned this book in the mid-late 90s, the split was only to the staple.

The fact that it has continued to spread so far is a bit worrisome.

 

I own the book. The split is only to the bottom staple.

 

From the top of the book or is this only an one-staple book?

 

Seriously though, have you ever asked CGC why they denoted it as a 4" spine split when it is supposedly much smaller than that?

Another sure fire winner from your absolutely amazing collection.

 

Do you have even a single fugly book sitting anywhere at all in your collection?

[lou_fine]

The CGC 9.4 in the upcoming Heritage auction is gorgeous.

 

 

Looks like the owner is trying to cash out on the book after picking it up for almost $70K back in 2014.

 

Although Fox books have definitely been on fire recently, not sure how much of a win (if any at all), this will be for the consignor once the HA fees are factored in.

Meaning the Allentown? Then that is a very misleading photo on HA, as it appears to now travel much further up the spine.
