I actually saw this copy at the 2001 San Diego comic convention. Nice copy but the unofficial insane price was $25,000 (This was blacked out by a marker on their price list). I know it eventually sold down the road but don't have a clue regarding the price!

Wow, makes you wonder how high this book can go, and/or if there are a ton more 9.4/9.6/9.8/9.9 copies yet to come?

Do you remember how well-centered it was, or what the page whiteness was?

[greggy]

The pages were white and I recalled that it was very well centered. It didn't raise alarms like one of the two Iron Man 1s CGC 9.9 that they had there! One was perfectly centered but the other had part of the front cover wrapped to the back. And it wasn't an even miswrap! They had a big scan made of the Hulk. Ideal Collectibles will probably still have a scan. Perhaps they could send you a scan if you ask nicely?

[fantastic_four]

Ummm...do you remember the web site for Ideal Collectables? I remember they misspell the word "collectibles" as "collectables," but I couldn't find the site.

[greggy]

The link on the CGC page links to this http://www.idealcollectables.com/ . However, it is not active. Actually, you can spell it either way. I think that they used the a instead of the i because there is a website with www.idealcollectibles.com. I don't know how to contact them now but I know that they occassionally still do eBay ads. Anyone know their eBay ID?

They actually had a picture of it up on their website for about a month, maybe. I looked at it..the centering was about..average I guess. But otherwise the book had that "brand new" freshness about it.

"Anyone know their eBay ID? "

 

Their ebay id is www.idealcollectables.com .

You can email them at info@idealcollectables.com , I have dealt with them several times in the past and found them to be very friendly and helpfull.

Just fyi, unless their raw grading vastly improved they don't know a whole lot about grading a comic.

I've dealt with them many times this year and they are grade A sellers! Great communication (24 hr email response), fast shippers, great packers, and extremely friendly.

[Rickdogg]

I only bought CGC boosk from them, so I wouldn't know about their "raw" grading. I would think they overgrade just like all the other big dealers.

[blowout]

I too have only bought cgc books from them. As you said Ricky A+ sellers.

[murph0]

When they started out they must've known nothing..they were the ones with the full CGC run of ASM 1-441. The early issues were sold them as high grade, and came back like VG.

I'd guess they've improved as they've had some very nice CGC books before.
