More Pictures of Star Trek 1967 Comics #1, 2, 3 and 4 for Opinions 1 1

[Topnotchman]

The 2 and 4 have dust shadows on back covers. The #1 looks to be the nicest shape.

Love me some Gold Key Star Trek. Heritage did pretty well for this Uber high grade ST 1. 
 

Yes, but only half as much as CC was able to fetch for their copy of ST 1 at $40,500 back in 2015, albeit a CGC 9.8 graded copy:

Dust shadows are killers.  Otherwise very nice.

And yet, the CGC graders don't really seem to downgrade very much at all when it comes to dust shadows on books.  

Even when it comes to some pretty egregious and ones that are an real eyesore, as evident by the grading that we have seen on some of the Promise Collection books with their very noticeable and even totally whacked out slanted dust shadows in some cases.

Could some of what appears to be dust shadows on my pictures be from copying on my scanner?

Beautiful 9.8 that would likely bring a higher bid in todays market. The 9.8 is also part of the back cover variant embarrassment.

After a lengthy discussion with a nice CGS representative, I have finally figured out how to ship off my 4 comic books above and decide what services to pay for. This is quite the investment that I hope pays me back at some point. I was shocked to find out how much this will be costing me. You must be real passionate to have comic book collecting as a hobby!

So rumors have been around forever and I've yet to ever see a #1 without the back photo cover... Does anyone actually have that #1...?

Apparently, there is no such #1 version.  In The Gold Key Star Trek #1 Club, @Get Marwood & Iwas kind enough to post this page from the 2019/2020 Overstreet Price Guide:   

 

And @Gatsby77 there kindly explained that there is a "link to the # 2 Star Trek registry set (and highest-graded 100% set). Notes two variants for # 2 and one variant for # 3. None for # 1."   Here's the link:

Seriously?  Are you sure it's  not just your reflection on the back of the slab?    Or are you making fun of a very, very special person.  BTW, the best hair work EVER must be Ted Danson's?

Well, since my copy is raw, and I had to pull it out of the mylar to check the back, we'll go with very very special person, aka, astronaut, on the back.

I sure do wish that registry set had pictures 

 

The Enterprise Logs NN, actually all volumes are just as scarce in 9.0 and above as the 2, 3 photo-back covers.  For the reason I mention that see my sig pics

Which version of 3 is rarer, with or without the Enterprise Logs subtitle?

All copies of Vol 3 I recall seeing in person do have Enterprise Logs subtitle.  Therefore my guess is without is more rare. Of course I could very easily be totally wrong
