My snipe of $1650 got blown out of the water. I was hoping other people wouldn't see it. Guess I was wrong!

Mine used to be a qualified 9.4. I think it presents nicer than the Mile High...

Distributor code matches the rest of the run pictured in the Gerber guide....that and the fact that NM copies of this book don't grow on trees!

The seller's description states the GA comic has been in his personal collection since the late 60s, but Chuck did not trip over the Church collection til about 1977. Do u think the c distributor's code on the top of the cover meant Mile High?

[Heresy]

That cover is hilarious. Don't turn your back on Doc Strange or he'll go upside your head with a wrench.

The pencil arrival date at the top. The fact that the book is the only Thrilling Comics missing in the Gerber guide and the ones all around it are the MH copies. So it's obvious this book was sold off and was "lost" for all these years. The sellers notes say he has had it since the late 1960s is an error, the late 1970s is more like it. I have found a bunch of hidden Mile Highs over the years on ebay. They are out there, just requires a lot of looking and luck!

 

Thousands of Mile Highs were sold without much fanfare over the years, they get bought and sold and people forget they are from that collection or they just don't care. They bought it for the cover, the condition, etc... pedigrees are not something most people look for, most collectors just buy what they like.

 

This will happen again, they are out there.

I thought that once you hit $200 the bidder's name is replaced with "Bidder X".

The high bidder is unknown until the end of the auction and ebay tells you who won, all other names are hidden.....

Whomever bought it used his alias with a feedback of only "5". I used to have two ebay names, I started to think with dual personalities, I had to stop.

I wonder if the new owner will get it slabbed. Maybe I should sell mine while it's still the highest graded copy!

I think your copy is nicer. Out of curiosity what were the notes on yours?

Tanning to interior covers and a tiny chip out of back cover. It'll be interesting to see what the Church copy grades out at. It's not the nicest Mile High I've ever seen.
