Is there a Crippen copy, a Church copy ... Wasn't one in the Sixth St books that we saw. Who knows if one is lurking in the books we haven't seen? But as a last issue, it most likely had even more limited than normal circulation. So it wouldn't surprise me if no copies made it as far as the West Coast. Actually, it wouldn't surprise me if no copies made it as far as New Jersey. Ricksneatstuff 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I couldn't even afford to go after the 2.5. I guess there'll be a sales thread in my near future to build up the war chest! I do own a copy of TAR45 - just not as nice.

With only six copies on the census and only two higher than a 3.0, just about any copy counts as a good copy, imo. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I never thought I'd find an affordable All-True All-Picture Police Cases #2, but it happened last summer. Point is, miracles can happen (despite what I've been saying about the lottery.)
