So, who snagged it? Seller pulled the listing, so someone must have made a direct offer.

Wish it had been me. Camp copy of a classic cover.

Yeah I was looking closely at that one too and had bid in and sniper loaded.

Sure it was legit? Seller doesn’t seem to have any other comics or have sold any. Odd that this single book would turn up in Italy all by it’s self.

Do you have a list of post-camp books?   Or can you point me to one?

I do not, nor have I ever seen one.  It would be like 900 books vs. 100 camp era ones.

It's quite evident that the Camp copies of this pedigree are the most desirable, as seen from the huge multiples they sell for.  

Any idea if the post-camp Okajima books would also carry some kind of lower multiples to guide or just a premium to condition guide?  

[Straw-Man]

i for one have not paid any significant premium for any post-camp books.

I think I got into the pedigree about two years ago. Here are the camp books in my collection:

 

For all of you camp collectors out here, any idea of how much of a hit is applied by CGC in terms of the final grade due to the writing on the covers here?  

I just find it rather a bit   that CGC would consider telltale pedigree codings as defects and hence would downgrade accordingly for them.     

Since the Church Mile High codes are usually always less obtrusive though, I imagine there's much less of a downgrade hit when grading for that pedigree.  Personally though, I would still always prefer a Church book with the Mile High code on it, as opposed to a Church book without the coding.  Then again, that's probably just me.

I'm particularly fond of that Whiz #58.  One of just two with the word CAMP written on it.

Early 1944 camp book. Signature, no code no date. (not my book)

I didn't think that would stay hidden;)

I keep it quiet until the price gets up there, once the cats out of the bag might as well make sure it's listed in the thread for posterity.
War books in this pedigree go for a premium over premium, super hero books (since they are less frequent) do too... so this one is bound to go sky high.

I saw it this morning on eBay

[miraclemet]

Figured out code 3q. 

She bought it the same time as Captain Marvel Jr. 20

Buy Date of 5-16-44

Heres an image of the Planet, regardless of whether it was a legit listing or not...

11-10-43 buy date. Is that a 1D code? Not many 1 codes out there.

It's a mix I've seen them go from @ market (no difference due to the post-camp pedigree) to 2x a non-camp copy. There have been a few non-camp sales in the last year (some Nyokas) that went for about 2x if I remember right.
