no surprise there

Agree, I looked and no stores in my area ordered any per their website.

Even one of the "not first print"s sold for stupid money. Which is particularly stupid, because they're not going to differentiate between later printings, and that's the only way they're going to be reprinting it, so those should be available indefinitely.

Isn't the "not 1st prints" a different title color with black instead of white?

$300 to $400. lol

Yeah, I see some selling for $1000. My thought is that after this craziness is over, they will go for a lot cheaper. Im sure there are tons out there.

What’s the books that r heating up? 

6 books:

And to Think That I Saw It on Mulberry Street

If I Ran the Zoo

McElligot’s Pool

On Beyond Zebra!

Scrambled Eggs Super!

The Cat’s Quizzer

The headlines seem to be misleading. The books aren't actually being banned (many libraries are stating they will still check them out, for example), but they are not being printed any longer.

IMO - If you have them, sell now and buy back later when the frenzy dies down.

Or, just don't buy them back. Unless you really want them

If I knew where my copies in storage were, I would.  But I don't want to go digging right now.

I don't have the individual editions, but I do have "Six by Seuss", which includes "And to Think That I Saw It on Mulberry Street"; and "Your Favorite Seuss", which has Mulberry Street, "If I Ran the Zoo", and "McElligot's Pool".

Agreed, the money being changed hands for these books right now is just stupid.  They've all been in print continually for decades, they're not and never will be terribly scarce.  Although I suspect "The Cat's Quizzer", which is a Beginners Book and the only one I hadn't heard of, might be at least slightly harder to find than the rest.

For genuinely harder to find Seuss material I'll keep my (reissue) copy of "The Seven Lady Godivas" and this little gem...

Great find. I haven't kept track of prices of this, especially in non-CGC-9.8.

Considering the creasing on the spine is the time/cost worth it to get slabbed versus raw?

Let's say this comes back in an 8.5 or 9.0 slab; what is the realized price difference?

Congrats man that is so awesome. I've been going through dozens of boxes because I'm pretty sure I have one of these bad boys. Keep us posted on the grade! ^^

Book graded a 9.4 - well worth the $90 to have it graded.  The last 9.4 sold for $2,127 last month.

Check these prices

Wasn’t the point of this publisher to get comics in the hands of “real” fans and not exploitation via the secondary market? Seems their bizarre rules and printing techniques did just the opposite...

Shocking. Nobody could possibly have seen that coming.
