GA With Less Than Ten Copies in the CGC Census 31 31

[Badger]

2 on census.  This and a 7.0.  So rare that even though a registry slot exists for it there are no values assigned!

This is probably "cheating", but there are ZERO of these on the census.  I have been told that CGC will not grade them (and I believe there are only 4 in existence).  Took me a long time to find this one and actually have a "boardie" to thank for telling me when it came up to auction (knowing I was looking for it).  One of the reasons I love the boards; great people looking to help each other and asking nothing in return.

and than there were two....

Another book NOT even on Census

Get this one in just at the wire: 10 graded copies (7 universal). Highest graded is a 7.5

Nice!  I'm surprised there are even 10 copies on the census.  You don't see this issue very often.

I don't think I've ever seen it.

@Sqeggs @Larryw7 Thanks guys! I'm very happy to own this copy.

Awesome cover!

If no one posted this one yet... six on census (range 1.5 to 8.0). One of Baker’s few bondage covers.

The Baker issues of Giant Comics Editions are all pretty tough.  GCE 12, of course, is the most desirable of the lot, but that's a nice copy of GCE 5. 

Here's my copy.

Pre-Hero DC doesn't exactly top the current popularity list, but this book completes for me the pre-Superman tryout issues (MF 14, 15, 16) which are historically quite significant to the hobby in my opinion.

There are 8 copies on the Census, I am very pleased to find one that presents so well (despite some spine flaws not seen in the image).

I've always wanted those three issues!
