At one time, I thought about bidding on this item. I can't argue that it is a nice book, but I can think of some other books I would like more.

All these prices are according to GoCollect.

For $6600, I could buy a Fantastic Four #4 CGC 7.0 and have some money left over.
For $6600, I could buy a Fantastic Four #5 CGC 5.5.
For $6600, I could buy a Fantastic Four #48 CGC 9.0.
For $6600, I could buy an Amazing Spider-Man #3 CGC 8.0 and have some money left over.
For $6600, I could buy an Amazing Spider-Man #14 CGC 8.0 and have some money left over.
For $6600, I could buy a Tales of Suspense #39 CGC 3.5 and have some money left over.
For $6600, I could buy Journey Into Mystery #83 CGC 4.5 and have some money left over.
For $6600, I would be just a little short if I wanted an X-Men #1 CGC 4.0.
For $6600, I would be just a little short if I wanted a Giant-Size X-Men #1 CGC 9.6.
For $6600, I could buy Showcase #4 CGC 1.8.
For $6600, I could buy Showcase #22 CGC 6.0.

I understand that some people like to have bragging rights for having the highest graded book, but that's not for me. I have Showcase #55 CGC 8.0, and I am PLENTY happy with my copy.

That is a beautiful looking book. Of course, if I had sufficiently limited funds that I had to choose between having an ~8.0 55 and buying one of the more important SA D.C. keys, I'd likely choose the former, but if I had the disposable income I'd certainly pony up for this copy.
