OK Cat. We haven't sold out the 150 seat allocation for a while now, so there'll likely still be room near the close. Hope you make it

I would just like to update everyone that I did receive a gigantic mystery box and I will be taking pictures of it very soon. I apologize for not doing so before now as life has continuously gotten in the way.  It was a glorious box.

I gotta do that too.  Got mine a week or so ago, from @stormflora just been busy.  Hopefully this weekend I can get some posted.

Grades in

Would have 2 bullseyes this round, but, I mixed up 2 of the grades.  DOH!

Aggie Mack #8 - 7.0 (5.5) 3
Superman's Girlfriend Lois Lane #5 - 5.5 (7.0) 3
My Secret Life #19 - 6.0 (5.0) 2
Junie Prom #6 - 5.0 (6.0) 2

This is insane - if I could afford it, I would buy it in a heartbeat:

https://www.ebay.com/itm/315119908107

 

Ended and sold for $1882.00.  Not a bad price if those are 9.8 candidates (or higher). 

Nothing about where the sale took place, but, GPA shows the sale.  Shows a live listing, but, it doesn't show on E-Bay.

And what may that look like? Some sort of internal piece that breaks if the entire slabbed is cracked open?

You could redesign the posts that snap the case together. 

Something along this line that would snap off when the slab is opened.

Grades are in

I think you have two major contenders here if you go outside of the core, mainstream DC titles.  Batman Adventures 12 and Batman: Killing Joke.

 

 

 

The GCD also lists some info at the following link:
https://www.comics.org/issue/43808/

I'm convinced that this book has other slight variations (newsstands, stickered copies, promos, etc) that just aren't documented.  Also, this is a comic that will continue to get printed

 

 

 

GCD is off on some of their info on The Killing Joke.  Notably the cover prices on the different editions.

Here are the correct  prices

You would think if this was somewhat a common occurence, that there would be more examples of this occuring in comics. Even double covers happens/happened every once in awhile. By the way, do double covers on comics even happen anymore? Are there examples of double covers on comics from let's say the past 5 years?

I have one form 2015

Looks like a piece of paper got into the presses when that page was printed.

(I hope @aszumilo doesn't mind!)

Not a problem.

This is my book and as far as I know, it's the only one ever found.  I bought it off eBay from a guy in Canada thinking it was a BOMC edition.

Actually, those pictures are of my book.  I found one as well.  Mine came from an E-Bay seller in Burbank, Ca.

We now know of 4 copies of this book.  Yours, mine, and @TJ Radford who has 2 copies.

Prize has been sent

We did. Did you not pick first?

Those elves had it in for me again.

I take all the credit for picking so efficiently at #2 and setting the tone.

It would have went a lot faster (at least for me) if you and the other 38 people ahead of me would have just passed.

I'll take lot 48 - Killing Joke.

I may, just may, upgrade this to a 9.6 11th print.  You never know, unless you want the lower grade

OK, I gotta run out.  Whoever selects my offering, just shoot me a message with your info.
