Great pick-up. To date it's the most I've spent on a raw book; time will tell if the reward was worth the risk. I flipped through it a couple times and everything is attached and all pages accounted for. Some general wear/spine creases and dimples on the back that will be taken care of. While not garnering as much attention as the 247, the Weird Science has great colors I normally don't see when finding GA in my price range. 12 hours ago, Readcomix said: Is there a backstory? I'm thinking you didn't just pluck them off the wall of a little LCS. (Though you are in NYC metro, no?) So maybe I'm in the Chicago suburbs, not NYC, but it kind of was just like picking them off a wall (actually out of a couple different boxes) at a store out here that was having a sale. These books weren't necessarily included in the sale, but I was given a discount for multiple/big purchases. Based on previous visits to this store I was not expecting to find these; right place right time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They or HPB only rang it up for $12, twelve dollars...... I knew it was a first appearance, turns out it's the first appearance of the band and Valerie A Josie #45 CGC 8.0 just sold on Comic Link for $245 today......

I did notice the color on the EC; I've just wanted a 247 for so long it kind of blew me away. They're so rarely flat and clean. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As there did not seem to be many graded sales for me to look at that helps! Mine looks 5.5/5.0 I do plan to send it for grading around Christmas I'll probably get it back in February so I'll post then too Edited December 6, 2017 by ADAMANTIUM Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Readcomix Posted December 7, 2017 Share Posted December 7, 2017 Picked this up from a fellow collector today. Already have a nicer raw one, but it seems to me the train is rapidly leaving the station on this book, even in lower grades, so I took the opportunity. 707comics, badback83, comicjack and 1 other 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
