Last month I got a call from a family friend saying a guy in his neighborhood had some "old" comics he bought as a kid and was wondering if I could look them over.  As it turned out, the guy was in his 70s and had a small stack of books he bought off the stands in the early 60s.  He worked at a golf course selling sodas as a kid and would buy comics with his money.  Although none of them were in high grade, he did have an FF1 and a low grade Avengers 1, which accounted for 98% of the value of the collection.  We agreed on a price and the books came back last night.

I dunno, this story sounds far fetched.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Less than a month to get books back from CGC?!

Heck, 5 days. They got them on a Monday, had them in the system by Wednesday, and mailed out the next Monday.

It is indeed.

I flipped through the pages of a million dollar comic with my bare hands… just crazy to think about.

Wow!!!!   Congrats ..... I know it must be  difficult to know "when" to sell, as  the upwards $$ trends seemingly never end

But a million+ is a million+

WT is the only way to do a $30k book.  The Avengers 1 (also on that sub) was $3k+ so it only made sense to put it on there.  Blood Is The Harvest is the 3rd book.  Even though it qualified for a much lower tier, it was actually made more sense to do WT after you factor in shipping and TAT.

Nice!!

Found at a local store today. Obviously a filler copy... but for $20 bucks, it's well worth it given the current pricing on the book, particularly since I needed to fill the hole:

Very nice! My spare went to the gift exchange this year. After I sent it I regretted it; I was reminded that the story in #94 is not reprinted in Marvel's Greatest Comics. I will have to read it in Treasury format going forward.

Finally found a nice upgrade. Black covers are always a treat.  Got it at a local comic show.

I always thought it would have been cool if Kirby pushed to make this a giant-sized issue, and then made it his last one:
