Well, unlike most of you who tends to go for the long time classic favorites, I guess I always like to go for the underdogs since they seem to be much more underrated and underappreciated. As such, I have always tended to favor the PL 23 cover over the PL 17 cover and in a similar vein, the Blue Beetle 52 cover with the beautiful blend of colors over the long recognized classic cover BB54. Then again, maybe it's simply nothing more than my senses becoming more muted and bored after seeing the PL 17 and BB 54 covers being highlighted for almost 50 long years now.

Well the 9.4 went for 120k what 2 years ago? but that looked a little better than this one as I recall. I know it’s a bit nitpicky and this is still an astoundingly gorgeous copy but those little beginnings of staple tears that I see bother me in a 9.6. As i recall the 9.4 had a perfect cut too. That said it says 9.6, and we know enough people care even if we don’t to make it matter, and at this point in time I think this copy has to get at least 150k, but probably ends up closer to 200k.

So I guess I’m going to have to be happy with my lowly vg copy that I paid $25. for 40 years ago... For that 150k, I’d rather have a nice hot rod and a couple vintage bikes instead...

I’m with you on the BB 52 over the 54. But I can’t think of much of anything that tops PL 17 in that genre. I never get tired of looking into Sandra’s eyes...

It would also still be mind-blowing without CGC gifting VF grades on F- books. Just my opinion.

When I was a freshman and first saw it in SotI in my high school library.I went nuts. I've owned 2 or 3 over the years, but this is just too much.

I can't wait for the reveal as I'm confident that the story will be one for the ages. I'll be eagerly awaiting the release of the undercopies once the big dawgs decide what they're going after in the auction....
