@telerites I grabbed it.

Of course you did! 

lol 

I ain't hatin' either. 

Sometimes, I Just wish I would have went to medical school instead of dedicating my life to British Literature, writing, and music! :blush:

Deeper pockets are always nice, but I'm thankful for what I've been able to put together. 

Glad I own at least one Okajima though!

I was high bidder for while, but I had to leave and hate bidding on my phone...congrats. I like the cover.

Congrats! early '44 book with a 1 code!

Well done.  I don't believe that was one that had been previously documented here.   Will look good in a slab, as they say.  Also I think will grade better than 1.5 as it was listed.

Coming up in the Heritage weekly auction ending Nov. 18th

Whiz #58 is going to be interesting to watch.  With the Camp I its one of just two with that type of demarcation, which set's it apart from the already small group of less than 100 books from that era.

Whiz 58 CGC 8.0 With notations: "4-22-44",  "4T"' and  "Camp I"  closed for $3840. 

Anyone want to venture what a typical 58 CGC 8.0 would sell for? $200-300? So we're looking at a unique multiplier of x12-15? 

Im guessing it's virtually unique Camp markings drove up the price a bit..

it was crazy to watch.

I always feel like when there are a few "lesser" sales/auctions leading up to a big one it really primes the pump for a few bidders to get in an "at any cost" mentality...

Yep, you got it. Camp era + unique "Camp I" markings + Captain Marvel + pretty cool cover (IMO)

That was my thought at least. Who knows what the underbidder was thinking :banana:

It's true, when I find an Okajima I want, I don't mess around ... especially Camp era books :-)
