Ideal #2.  Pages and covers this white for a WWII era Timely are really, really tough.  The Funny Animal group was a fairly talented set of artists and were pretty much left alone making the interiors a more interesting read than their standard superhero fare.  Census:  1 in 9.2 and 1 in 9.0.  De-slabbed CGC 9.0 for $350.

Label will be shipped with comic.

Adventure 71. I've admired Jack Burnley's work and always thought that his Starman covers were among his very best. Add in some mummies and an Egyptian theme like on this cover and you have an unbeatable combination.  Census: 1 in 9.6, 1 in 9.0 and 3 in 8.5.  CGC 8.5 ow/w for $1600.

There were a number of people PMing me with offers for the GCE and I had to look carefully at both the details of the messages and the exact time they were sent. 

Action252kid won the GCE 15 because he was the first person via the Board or via PM to Take It at the stated price without any conditions.

Wonder Woman 81: Wonder Woman issues from the 50s are all pretty tough. The cover to this issue is quite distinctive for it's unsettling color design that is unlike almost any other 1950s DC.  It looks out of place as if it was printed before the advent of the Comics Code by one of the premier pre-code horror publishers.  Census:  tied for highest with one other copy.  Old label CGC 8.0 for $1100.
