I was at SDCC 2003 when this raw collection debuted. King Comics # 1 was g- per the Errata insert sheet for catalog.

Now, a Good- copy of King Comics #1 for $750 makes a lot more sense than a top of guide VF condition copy for only $750.  (thumbsu

Just got this in yesterday.

Does anyone have the original listing in that catalog??  I would love to see that just as a point of reference.

Tip Top 62 was graded as a raw Good+ copy and listed for only $70, so it would appear you did alright if you brought it raw.  :applause:

Especially since that's a pretty substantial difference in terms of their G+ or 2.5 raw grade as compared to the CGC 5.5 grade that it got in the end.  :whatthe:

Thank you for the information!  This is great!

Actually, I bought it graded.  No idea if was pressed or not, but I didn't pay much more than that original $70 for it.  I figure the grading costs alone were worth what I bought it for.  I like looking for and finding deals on pedigree books - so I kind of feel like this was a steal!

A definite steal if you was able to acquire a graded pedigree book for less than condition guide value.  :applause:

Especially since you have to factor in the cost for grading along with any other ancillary services.  This book here would definitely go counter to the argument made by many that the Overstreet valuations tend to be understated as they are always so far behind the curve.  hm  (shrug)

Anyone else remember when these came to market? Was all the buzz at SDCC the year it happened. Their booth was over run with dealers grabbding everything in sight. I grabbed a few of the cheap ones just to see what all the buzz was about. Cool story and found by two great guys in the business.

Hey Bob,

If you look inside this flyer you will probably see the Flash Gordon Strange Adventure Magazine #1 pulp that I bought from Al Stoltz Basement Comics/Mad Cow Comics at their San Diego Comic Con debut.  I don't know that I had the earliest graded pulp due to this, but it's one of the few graded pulps that I know of that was out in the wild long before CGC started grading pulps.  I don't recall the grade at this time.
