I am afraid to find out! It is unquestionably a sellers market for Fox books. Looking back at what I have paid for books when I started collecting Fox up to now where I am filling in the holes is quite shocking. I doubt I would even start now with prices where they are, it would be cheaper and far easier to put together some of the Timely runs than these.

My feelings exactly. In retrospect, I was lucky to put together a nice base collection while prices were still reasonable. There's still a handful I would like, but with some of the recent results it feels like I'm out of the running before I even start.

well, potential value notwithstanding, my complete canon thru 7/40 is staying put. I like that part of my collection second best to the timely runs, and I'd be so sad to part with them.

Yeah, great shot. However some boardies are saying it would actually be quite priceful

[HRCostigan]

OK, here is the recently discussed book. Zero graded copies. I think it's lovely

What a great cover! It doesn't get better than that.

[Straw-Man]

superb, irrespective of the date!

I saw a copy about 20 years ago and have never seen one since. Question for you since it's raw, Does it have an ad for the US Jones Members Club inside? Being a guy that collects these as well as the comics themselves, I'd love to see it. It is one of the few comic book premiums I don't have. The kit is just about as rare maybe more so. Hakes Americana sold a complete one years ago and I know of a guy that has just the button who won't turn it loose. US Jones Rocks!

[HRCostigan]

Thanks guys. Robot Man -- no club ad. There are a few in-story panels asking the reader to use their secret decoder, a Kooba ad in the centerfold, and some pretty cool house ads on the interior covers. Maybe a later Wonderworld has what you are looking for?

Congrats! Glad it went to a dyed in the wool Fox man! Would like to see it graded and protected for the ages (after you grant Robot Mans request of course) Edited June 26, 2015 by Sagii

That collection of books with the blue + on them sure had a lot of killer later Fox books. My Wonderworld 32 is from the same batch. Congrats on a very rare book!

Robot man your memory is failing you, I had already checked for you a month or two ago.

 

Looks great HR Costigan, presents very nicely in those pictures. Well done!
