I will probably get this one graded since there are so few of the later issues around. My lowest graded issue is #31 but the copy I have is the only one I ever found for sale and needed it to complete the run.

In the years I've been on the Boards (and that the book has been 'on my radar') your copy and @RareHighGrade 's copy are the only two I have ever seen (posted to share or at auctuon).

That Wonderworld 31 looks better than 2.0

Wow, absolutely love books that present so much nicer than their assigned CGC grade from a front cover POV, even though I am sure that there are "hidden" defects that account for the grade.  :luhv:   :takeit:

Well, with most of these later Fox books, you just have to love them in any condition that you are lucky enough to find them. :luhv:

Especially since unless you have the Church copy, they generally mostly exist in low or at best, mid-grade condition only.  (thumbsu

Yes, this was my number one target in the Berk auction, and I was grateful that it may have had a low profile in the sea of incredible Church Foxes.

I remember going by the Metro offices and seeing this in person during previews. Couldn't take my eyes off of it even though there was some other killer stuff on display as well. 

Stand out book!

I think you were aided by a scan that did the best job it could to hide the sparkling qualities of the Church copy.  Congrats! :applause:
