His name is written on the cover of your comic book. There are a few coverless copies for sale online at the moment. Congrats on completing your run of X-men. Make sure whatever you decide to do make you happy in the long run.

I didn't mean to reply. Is there a way to delete my comment?

Congrats on getting a book you're happy with. Just so you and anyone else following this thread, if you are buying books and plan on holding them 40 years or so then the advice Tony S gave is golden. A common regret/bitterness long term collectors have expressed when they sell off their collection is they bought restored books and those books are only a fraction of what the books would be if they just spent a few more bucks originally. On Wednesday Heritage auctioned off a 8.5 Action 1 (Kansas City) and an 8.0 Restored Action 1 that sold in the same auction this week. The 8.5 sold for over 5 million dollars more than the 8.0 restored copy did. Not saying an X-men 94 will ever reach that value in the future but I was watching the Heritage sale to see the difference in the results.

If you were trying to post the result of Wonder Woman #2 you accidentally posted Sensation #1 by mistake.

I missed the live portion. Anyone grab the ending price on the restored 8.0 Action 1 and also the Wonder Woman 2?

It says "This listing was ended by the seller on Wed, Apr 3 at 3:36 PM because the item was sold."

No new bids yet, but the 8.0 restored Action 1 is at $280,000.00 ($336,000.00 with buyers premium)

I wasn't aware people felt so passionate about Crackajack Comics. It was the first time I heard of stars being on them.

Thanks for sharing this. If you or anyone else find examples of additional issues with a star on the corner - please let me know. Even if your reading this thread 20 years in the future.

I'm curious, you had answered this question on the 19th and the next day the press release went out about the acquisition of James Spence Authentication and it is unclear if your original answer stands as stated or now has changed,

I had a sealed JoHann Richard Petty Superbird Kit at one point. (was new old stock I found in a small Hobby Shop) Sold it at a swap meet in the 1980s.

There's a box lid on Ebay at the moment and I can see all five sides of it. I would of loved to build this kit as a kid! It is a 1971 Road Runner inside the box - but comes with the Superbird nose and wing that you could glue on - plus the 440 can be built as a six-pack or 4 barrel. I would of chose the six pack. I tried to buy a Sebring Plus (same body as the Road Runner just with a focus on luxury when it came to the interior) off a used car lot - but couldn't meet at the right price. Always loved the look of it. And as I try to remember the asking price for the car it boggles the mind. Used cars were dirt cheap back then. Probably was only a few hundred dollars. At some point I will have to post a few pics of the models I have when I'm able to access them.

New bid came in. Currently up to $4,250,000.00 ($5,100,000.00 with buyers premium)

Great collection of kits Hepcat. I find it hilarious seeing a non-existent 1971 Superbird on the Road Runner kit. Is it just an error that box artist made or is there really a Superbird body inside the box? Does it make the kit more or less sought out by collectors?

What I mean by 'checking copy' is the copy that was used to verify if corrections needed to be made before they ran the whole print run. I'm not a Marvel Comics 1 guy so I don't recall the exact details, but I'm pretty sure the checking copy is different copy from the Pay Copy. You would have to ask Vincent what he remembers.
