tth2 Posted May 29, 2017 Share Posted May 29, 2017 Fantastic #3 currently at $130K. I'm really curious what the market will find to be more valuable--a CGC 9.4 Church copy of Fantastic 3 (way out in front of the next best copy) or a CBCS 9.2 Church copy of Suspense 3 (just one increment above the next best copy).

A Plan for the Improvement of English Spelling by Mark Twain For example, in Year 1 that useless letter "c" would be dropped to be replased either by "k" or "s", and likewise "x" would no longer be part of the alphabet. The only kase in which "c" would be retained would be the "ch" formation, which will be dealt with later. Year 2 might reform "w" spelling, so that "which" and "one" would take the same konsonant, wile Year 3 might well abolish "y" replasing it with "i" and Iear 4 might fiks the "g/j" anomali wonse and for all. Jenerally, then, the improvement would kontinue iear bai iear with Iear 5 doing awai with useless double konsonants, and Iears 6-12 or so modifaiing vowlz and the rimeining voist and unvoist konsonants.

I'm kinda thinking they end up in the same range. Maybe a slight nod to the Fantastic, maybe not, but ultimately we have to be right up against the 'classic cover but not a lot else to offer' ceiling.
