Well this CGC 8.0 White Pages sold for 30 555$.

That is a lot of money considering the last CGC 8.0 with white pages sold for 22 105$ on ComicLink:

A few posts back I mentioned if I wouldn't win the Tec 29 that I'd go after the JIM. I see now I'm glad I didn't as it ended strong.

I would prefer TEC29 any day of the week!!

Someone really wanted the JIM 83 8.0 JB designation.  8.0's are not worth $30k at this moment in time.  We will see.

Nice presentation! I'm on the lookout for a copy in the 3.5 to 5.0 range, so if you guys see anything at prices close to GPA (not +20%) please pm me.

Thats a really nice 5.0. Congrats!

I will confess, I sold my entire collection of 850 plus books on wednesday. I kept my JIM and Thor which is about 125 books. I bought most off the stands but my early JIM I paid such prices as 5-12 bucks a book and they aren't in great condition. None are slabbed and I don't have an '83 since it cost about 40 dollars at the time. 

But I do start at 84 and feeling free of the pressure of the sale, I started re reading these things today. It's great . Right off, Thor fights south american commies.  They call them "Reds" . Three issues later, he's got Jane Foster dreaming of taking care of Thor. She imagines cutting his hair, ironing his cape and ... polishing his hammer... ( and it was still approved by the CCA) thor fools Loki with a plastic version of himself. 

It's really nice to have these things as raw, not in great shape comparatively so I can just lean back  and read them and 'marvel" over the innocence these things once had.  I love seeing all these covers you are all putting out there. . They look way better than mine. My boy looks forward to the down payment on the house generated by the sale, and the eventual ownership of all this Norse Stuff. 

I still own my AF15 but I think Blazingbob will make short order of that. 

Thanks everyone.

Mmmmm..... white pages... lovely 5.0 congrats!

[AL Comics]

That 5.5 is a beaut. So many stunning books in this thread. 

Still searching for a copy in the 2.0 range.

Thanks guys! It isn't as nice as many of the other beauties in this thread but for me it's perfect and definitely a keeper! Now off for a nice Avengers 1 - as always a collector enjoys what he has for about two seconds and then thinks about the next one, lol.
