nearmint Posted October 17, 2009 Share Posted October 17, 2009 This is my friend's copy. He says it's completely unrestored and he has had it for 25 years. I have held it and flipped thru it. It's something else. Wow. Considering a 7.0 sold for last year for $30Kish that is one heck of a keeper. What do you figure the grade is on this book, 7.5? Thats pretty sweet. Hope he keeps it in some kind of protective sleeve or mylar Very well protected. 2 mylars and in a climate controlled safety deposit box. Which bank?

A blood bank- because that's what would be spurting if anyone tried to take it from him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Senormac Posted October 17, 2009 Share Posted October 17, 2009 Thats awesome Scrooge !! I saw issue #3 on ebay back in July and tried to snipe it with just a few seconds left. I bid $120 more than what the current bid was.....and $50 or $60 more than book value......AND STILL LOST Whoever won it must have put in a massive security bid. Oh well, good for him.......whoever he was Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RedFury Posted October 18, 2009 Share Posted October 18, 2009 This is the only book I bought for myself at the Baltimore show last weekend. WDC&S #140. It's got a lot going for it: 1st Gyro Gearloose, a hilarious cover with Uncle Scrooge included, and a golf cover. I like it! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There's three distinct emotions evident: for Donald it's frustration bordering on anger, for Scrooge it's bemusement, and for the nephews it's boredom and the sense that this kind of thing happens all the time. There's just so much going on there! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
