  1. I bought this graded book back in 2015. Cases back then were thinner and flimsier. I'd prefer it contained in the thicker more secure cases. Problem is that with so many of that particular book on the counterfeit list, I'm concerned it may get damaged if CGC does extra steps to make sure its the real deal. Reason it took me so long was because I am waiting for CGC to make an appearance at a comic con closer to where I live (no way I'm mailing it). I'd feel better handing it to them directly. The question now is, would I be better off just keeping what I have?
  2. Duck Grail just sold on Comiclink for $9645 https://www.comiclink.com/auctions/item.asp?back=%2FAUCTIONS%2FSEARCH.ASP%3FFocusedOnly%3D1%26where%3Dauctions%26title%3Ddisney%26ItemType%3DCB%23Item_1731728&id=1731728&itemType=0#detail
  3. Suprised there are only two on the census in total. I absolutely love this Barks Cover. I'll be hunting for that Lithograph based on this cover as well.
  4. Some more impressive Duck Sales on recent Heritage Auctions https://comics.ha.com/itm/golden-age-1938-1955-/cartoon-character/uncle-scrooge-4-dell-1953-cgc-nm-mt-98-off-white-to-white-pages/a/7342-92072.s?ic4=GalleryView-Thumbnail-071515 https://comics.ha.com/itm/silver-age-1956-1969-/cartoon-character/uncle-scrooge-15-dell-1956-cgc-nm-96-off-white-to-white-pages/a/7342-92161.s?ic4=GalleryView-Thumbnail-071515
  5. You scored nearly every Duck Book I want. Amazing collection Mind if I asked where you bought them from?
  6. I had the same thoughts. Especially when I see these Super Hero Books that are far more common, crappier condition, and fetch for far more ridiculous prices. Finding some Golden Age Duck Books may not be the biggest challenge in the world, but grades like that? Those are rare and real treasures in my books. To me, the books that had a combination like Donald Duck/Barks/Kelly/Buettner had this charm to them, almost magical.
  7. Yep! Couldn't make the live auction but threw in which I thought were solid bids for the Four Color 71 and the WDC&S #64 but lost both. Wish I made it. I probably would have threw in a higher bid for the WDC&S 82 and the WDC&S #76. I love the Christmas Covers, especially when Walt Kelly does them
  8. I wasn't able to make the live auction but I thought my bid of $3300 gave me a considerable chance on this issue: https://comics.ha.com/itm/golden-age-1938-1955-/cartoon-character/four-color-71-three-caballeros-dell-1945-cgc-nm-92-cream-to-off-white-pages/a/122342-15083.s?ic4=GalleryView-ShortDescription-071515 Beautiful Book though. Cleanest 9.2 I ever saw and graded way back in 2004. I'm sure it'd get an even higher grade with a re-submission. I loved that movie as a kid and the recent show was phenomenal. I give it a 9.5 out of 10. I'd borderline kill if they made a second season
  9. Yep! That's the one. Gorgeous Copy. Definitely worth the storage sacrifice. Love to own that one but its a rare find. If we're talking an Eye Catching Covers for Carl Barks, Four Color 199 gets my vote If we're talking covers Kelly and Von Buettner's Work definitely have more of my favorites. Kelly's Art always catches my attention first for his brighter colors and Buettner's Covers have more going on which tell a story.
  10. I'd love to own this book. I was expecting it to sell for more: https://comics.ha.com/itm/golden-age-1938-1955-/cartoon-character/four-color-series-1-4-donald-duck-dell-1940-cgc-vf-80-off-white-to-white-pages/a/7340-91045.s?ic4=GalleryView-Thumbnail-071515 Is this the first appearance of Donald in an American Standard Comic Book? I know he appeared in another comic (Donald Duck #nn) before this but I think that one was more of an oversized book.
  11. Much appreciated. The majority of my collection are modern 9.8 books so I'm no expert with other tiers. My interest and collection is shifting more towards the golden age but some silver. I actually bid on this book by accident. I wanted to win the 7.0 copy but didn't bid on that until I could get Comic Link's Permission to retract the bid on this 5.0. They rejected my request and I ended up winning this. At first I was mad because the 7.0 sold for $4600 but looking at this issue in hand, I'm happy with it. Probably the cleanest 5.0 I've encountered.
  12. Bought this one on Ebay and was excited to get it, but then it turned into frustration. It has one considerable spine tick and 3 other small tiny ones. At first glance its tough to see on this picture but if you expand it, it almost looks like it breaks color. What annoys me is that how did this get the 9.8? Tempted to resell it and look for another (but this book isn't exactly common in a 9.8) Does anybody else have a 9.8 like this?
  13. Appreciate the replies so far. I'll upload pictures shortly.
