Definitely not as cool as these other Fox books but I picked up a copy of Jo-Jo Comics #1 in decent condition.

Well did anyone get one?  Seems like around $14K is the entry price for a Church Wonderworld.  Seems high for some of the lesser covers I don't even really like that much. But then some pretty good ones, $20K for the 4, and $32K for the 30.  Yowza.

Probably people who already have a bunch Fox Church, Larsons, and other freakishly high grade anomalies. I guess we'll never know.  Yabba Dabba Doo

And this seems like a good time to ask, are the horses on issue 4 running on the ground like normal horses or up in the sky like magical horses?

Being a WWII cover helped the #30, I'm sure, but those prices all seemed very strong. I wonder if they all went to the same buyer; maybe somebody is trying to re-build the Mile High run at any cost!

I think we were all hoping nobody would notice if they didn’t say anything😃

My plan of not talking about it, definitely did not work.  Was interested in that 30, but sheesh.  Congrats to winner.

Most definitely NOT as there must have been a lot of extended bidding taking place since they virtually all did at least a triple or quadruple from when I was looking at them the night before they close, with the Wonderworld 30 doing more a quintuple.

it was fun to watch.   of course the mile high's were sumpin', but it was the allentown 2 i was transfixed by.

[RedGiant]

Yeah. Holding that Allentown in hand at heroes was something else.

Fascinating little collection. I think because they have no distinctive markings many could be 'lost', or one majority stake holder remaining anonymous 🤔 

They turn up so rarely to market

Maybe it's just me, but due to their relative rarity with only 135 extant copies relative to the thousands of Church books out there, I would tend to prefer adding an Allentown to my personal collection as opposed to a Edgar Church if I had to choose between the two although you really can't go wrong either way.

best i can do, and i ain't complainin' none, me!

[Straw-Man]

tho' i'd probably complain if yarko told me to...
