rob_react Posted January 29, 2018 Author Share Posted January 29, 2018 (edited) The Rockford copy is a million dollar book now, I think. It previously sold for $115,000 Edited January 29, 2018 by rob_react Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It previously sold for $115,000 I would lay strong odds you're right. Fun to see two great examples of this icon. If price were no object between these two, for sure I'd grab the Rockford copy. Hey, we can't all afford Allentowns. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LDarkseid1 Posted January 29, 2018 Share Posted January 29, 2018 The 5.0 looks like the colors on the cover pop more to me, but maybe it was just the photos and how they were taken. Tsp99 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If the person who wrote "Vol 3 no 3" on the book had instead put a couple dots in a black field of the cover, some would've called that book an abomination.

I'd think so, but weird things have happened with this stuff before. $1,000,000 is still a big number. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It does, but who knows if it's just the scan. I will say the handwriting certainly pops! That's like a $50,000 scribble. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pickie Posted January 30, 2018 Share Posted January 30, 2018 Does someone recognize the handwriting? What about Vol. 3 No. 2? Vol. 2 No. 10? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SpeedforceKJ Posted January 30, 2018 Share Posted January 30, 2018 i honestly can't wait to see what these books go for. I always love seeing these books go up for auction and seeing how where they end. rob_react 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

IGB court case against CGC If you read the description of this Action 1 on the CC site, it would seem the degree of restoration on this specific book may be less extensive than prior resto jobs by IGB? Not sure, but perhaps that would relate to this issue. Gotham Kid 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jabats Posted January 30, 2018 Share Posted January 30, 2018 This is the part of the description to which I'm referring: Quote The cover has not been reglossed, and any piece fill is Japanese paper or leafcasting -- no color copies or donor books were used. Initially a CGC-graded complete copy, no marriages of major missing pieces were attached to the cover and interior, and the book has not been trimmed.
