Love that one! Years ago I found a nm set of covers. Never thought I’d find a coverless copy but @MrBedrock put up a coverless copy here on the boards and I grabbed it. Married but for a killer price I now have a complete one. :banana:

Nice. Glad you got a complete copy. This is my lesser copy of two that I own.

Aa lot of nice copies of books we don't see very often on these boards.

I have hundreds and hundreds of obscure esoteric GA #1's, #nn's, promos, giveaways, and Dell four colors in higher grades. A couple decades ago I decided to buy all the stuff people were seemingly looking past. 

   I think everyone was so focused on a few key GA and SA they were selling these for pennies in comparison. So, I decided to snatch up all these obscure #1's, truly rare books, when I found them in 7.5ish or above. The Dell four colors and giants, I bought hundreds of file copies for next to nothing about 20 years ago. The seller was one of the actual purchasers of the Dell warehouse in the late 70's. These were the ones he had kept for himself. You couldn't give Dells away barely back then. So I bought all I could. I would never be able to buy all these again as prices have shifted up on all these odd books of mine. It's been fun hunting these down.
