Those detached covers always present way better

slabs are great for that issue and compromised pq, unless so bad the sawdust starts to pile up at the bottom.

off-topic for thread, but not for quoted post.  here's a classic example; high-grade appearance, low grade slab, bought for a song.  i wouldn't have considered it raw, but had no problem filling that hole in the run as it is.

That's a great looking 4.0 you got there, PAL.

Been wanting to get some Dagar Desert Hawk for some time. This was a favorite title back in the day for me. A shockingly good MCS eBay BIN. Could not believe $185 for a CGC 6.0. Granted some foxing on the top of the front cover but the way I see it, Foxing on Fox books with a couple of Foxes on the cover is appropriate!

A bump for those boardies and collectors here who are into low grade raw copies of Fox books like Wonderworld as Heritage has 19 issues of this run ending in their Monday evening auction tonight.  

Highly doubt there's going to be any sort of a steal on a deal here as virtually all of them are already at multiples to condition guide from the cheapest one for now being this Poor condition copy of Wonderworld 27 at a paltry $60 including the HA juice:

to this VG listed copy of Wonderworld 5 currently sitting at a not so paltry $1,380 to this point in time with the Heritage BP juice in there:

I would definitely have been a lot more interested in some of these HTF Wonderworld books here, but sadly no Wonderworld 24 or 31, and the Wonderworld 22 which they have listed is only a rather weak Poor listed copy with a few too many significant defects to my liking.

Wow, very cool run to land all at once. Strong prices for the grades overall! I remember tracking down a few of those oddball later issues back in the day. At this point I'm down to just my #7 and #12 -- but glad I kept those two.

Definitely some very strong prices here on these low grade Fox Wonderworld books as most of them sold for strong multiples to condition guide, but not as outlandish as what we saw with some of the pre-hero raw low grade copies of the DC Adventures and New Adventures earlier in this past Spring going for double digit multiples to condition guide.  

Then again, as a consignor, you certainly can't complain too much when it comes to a book like this one here which still managed to fetch pretty much 10X condition guide at $2,640:

On the topic of strong prices for Fox books, any of you deep pocketed boardies here trying to snag this copy of Mystery Men 26 later tonight:

Not sure where it's going to finished up at, but already sitting at a very strong $7,800 with the Heritage BP juice or at something like well over 13X condition guide value and still not done.

$8,400, nice result.  And the 27 in 2.5 went for $3,120.

my hope is to one day have my heirs figure out what to do with my 48 lou/joe foxes, but i'm not beyond fantasizing about what an auction with all of 'em in there would do to my heart rate.

I am pretty sure only 47 of them would go to auction.
