This price is unbelievable.  There have been a lot of crazy prices I've seen over the years, but this may be the most crazy I've ever seen.  

It's the price of a Phantom Lady 17 in that grade.

It went a bit higher than I expected, but imo, there have been WAY crazier prices than this.  Think about crazy prices people pay for spec books or 9.8s that have tons of copies or modern variants.  This book is tough to find and plenty of Fox and MM collectors interested in owning a copy.  This is 2nd highest graded, out of only 5 blues, who knows when the next one will come to market?

Here is one of only two I have seen in person. The ONLY whole kit. Sadly, not mine but belonged to Steve Geppi at one point. Not sure where it is now. By the way, there is also a Boys Brigade V Club pin. A local guy has one. Not very exciting but if you collect this stuff like I do, it would be on your list. Just think of this. How many comics did this ad run in? How many kids sent in for it? How many got kept...

Stuff like this sure make the comics look down right common. And, if any these premiums were to show up, they would be cheap compared to the comics.

Nice wins Gino and comicnoir!  I sense we were all thinking along the same lines last night, as I too ended up with some Blue Beetle bondage from the same run, along with a later Mystery Men with even more bondage.  I think we have a problem!  Or at least that is what my wife tells me when she sees them...

And thanks for sharing your "beaters" Bob.  I'd be happy with any of those!

I was an underbidder on this one because I like that rocket launcher thingy she's strapped to. Sorry for bumping it up on ya.

Modern variant madness is nothing new.  Vintage material tends to follow logic more.
