I seem to recall Four Color Comics selling the pay copy and the Motion Pictures Funnies copy to Geppi...  Anyone else?

Yes, and then it passed in the above-mentioned Sotheby's auction. And people may argue whether the Marvel 1 is nicer than the Church, Denver, WC, or some other high grade copy, but there is no question the MPFW is much, much better than the next best surviving copy.

The only other known MPFW copies are Lloyd Jacquet copies with really crummy pages, right? I'm hoping that there could be some other copies out there, but it doesn't seem very likely.

well, the pay copies are jacquet books, too, aren't they?

I guess so, but the pages appear to be nicer. Maybe the pay copy was stored in a different location than the other copies—in a filing cabinet instead of a box in the attic or something like that.

It would be nice to see another copy or two turn up. Maybe Jacquet gave some sample copies to someone who saved a couple of them. One can hope. (I'm not sure whether any copies were actually given out at theaters.)

I wonder who got those 8-9 copies once they were found in Jacquet's estate sale (in other words, how they came to the market). I know Jon Berk got one eventually... wonder how he acquired it.  I love stories about how these books made their way from the estate sale to wherever they are today.  Just doesn't seem to be a lot of info on this book (even the wiki article just says they were found in the estate sale and nothing further).

Burn it.

No loss.  It's not even a 9.4.

In that case, shred it, and then burn it.

Mark Twain was in Brazil when he was notified of his mother-in-law's passing.  He wired instructions "Embalm, cremate and bury.  Take no chances."

Quite the lineup in the upcoming February Featured Auction.  There's something for everyone, including high demand GA books.

My thoughts exactly

Are you guys referring to the CL Featured Auction coming up in February or to the next CC Event Auction since this is a CC thread here?  ???

Two copies coming in the next month i'm sure this one will hit some new highs :luhv:

I am 110% confident that this copy here will have absolutely no problems at all punching its way right through the now piddly $22,500 it managed to sell for in the big Jon Berk auction back in 2017.  :takeit:

Especially since Heritage was able to auctioned off a lower graded CGC 4.0 copy for back in September of last year and CC was able to fetch $55K for the highest graded CGC 8.0 copy baxck in 2018 before this current huge runup in prices since the pandemic started. :applause:

Will definitely be watching with great anticipation to see where this one finishes up at. :popcorn:  :taptaptap:  :taptaptap:

Based upon your avatar, I certainly hope that you have one of these nicer copies locked up in your personal collection already.  (thumbsu
