I was the one that bought it.I usually dont go all out like that but for some reason i really wanted it...i Personally think its undervalued(o.s price)being Miller's first dc work as well as there being only 2 at 9.4 and none higher.i will put a big scan of it up when i get it

 

Congrats, Jake. I was really tempted to bid on that one, despite the fact that I'm on a buying hiatus for the next year or so and despite the fact that I've got a nice raw copy. If I'd been bidding, my max probably would have been around $225. I think a 9.6 could go for $400 though, if one turned up.

Nice… I bought a raw copy at Philly for $10 or so and CGC graded it 9.4.

I'm still looking for 68 and a better JC 18. I have a CGC 9.4 of that as well.

That's about 2 of the 10 or so 9.4's I have.

 

Bruce's first statement is exactly why I passed on this one.

27_laughing.gif That is a great cover. Who WOULD defy the Primate Platoon?

 

It's really amazing, isn't it? The way DC would throw gorillas in so many books. I know that for some reason putting an ape on the cover generated more sales, can't really figure out why though. I mean geez, what was it about damn gorillas in the 70s? Whatever it was, DC sure took advantage of the trend. crazy.gif

gossip.gif It's not just the 70s. DC has had numerous gorilla covers since the 1950s.

Nice job Norrin! That's the cover that supposedly started it all, according to an anecdote in CBM. Schwartz told Gary Carter that they couldn't figure out why #8 sold like crazy and they finally decided it was the intelligent ape and their further experiments bore it out.

 

Gorilla Grodd has to be one of the coolest things about the Flash...
