Do any of you own "1 and only" top census books??

[Weird]

1 of 1: CGC 9.4 Tomahawk # 130 WP (not the greatest Adams Tomahawk cover, but very tough in grade)

 

I dunno, I kinda like that one more than most of his Tomahawks (like 117-119 and 126-129). 116 and 125 are my faves. 130 might be my third favorite now that I think about it...

This would the "1 and only" top census book even if it had graded out as a 0.5. Amazingly, it's the ONLY copy that has been slabbed so far. No love for Joe Kubert (or Centaurs), I guess.

Regarding top graded comics....What is everyones opinion regarding collectability of top graded books? Is a book like Daredevil #167(just a random example, let's assume this is not a huge collectible book) with a gazillion 9.8's and 9.6's, a better long term investment then let's say, an Adventures on the Planet of the Apes #6, with no 9.8's and only seven 9.6's? I understand that a major collectible book will always be desireable, even if there are a lot of high grade books out there( Just look at Giant Size X-Men #1, as a good example) It seems to me that most top books would already have been sent to CGC, and that the numbers shouldn't go up much more on most titles. Any thoughts? Thanks.

I have some that are tied for top spot. The only two that I am positive about being one of ones are Avengers 147 (30 cent variant) in 9.4 and Spoof #5 (Don Rosa) in 9.8

One and only Warlord #1 CGC 9.8:

That is a nice book.

I still own both copies of Warlands: Banished Knights CGC 9.9 (bought from someone on these boards.)

 

(and still worthless )

I just lost out on an Editorial Edition of Sandman #8 on ebay. I bid a thousand and confidently gave up monitoring and when it was over, I couldn't believe someone else wanted it more. That was the highest and only 9.8 in grade.

[Dmac538]

One and only highest grade.

I picked up an almost complete run of Mod Wheels from jscomics.

They are the Gold Key file copies from the Random House archives.

jscomics graded most at 9.6 and others at 9.4

If I slabbed them they'd either rule or tie for the top spot.

I'm talking about major ownage for the entire run.

But, jeez, it's Mod Wheels, fer chrissakes.

Where's the bragging rights in that?

One and Only Highest Graded Copy:

 

 

And I'm no longer the current owner, just the lucky SOB who sold it for $2,600 via Pedigree.

I picked this baby up from a fellow forumite. One-and-only top-census.

Wow, with a price like that, somebody should start a separate thread on this as it's certainly worthy of one by itself.

 

We certainly wouldn't wnat this outstanding sale to go unnoticed and be buried in the middle of this thread.

Alright, alright, you got me. I'll shut up now.

I started this thread with my "1 and only" top census Phantom Stranger #4 CGC 9.2 that soon became the "1 and only" CGC 9.2 with a 9.4 and 9.6 graded higher I still consider it a very tough book in ultra high grade with a cool Adams cover although I have subsequently sold it for a nice price.

Well, such is the nature of "1 and only" top census books in the BA world.

[jokersrevenge]

well this cost me my left nut, but I really, really, really wanted it.
