Holy cow, congrats! A book that old with a red spine a 9.6 is pretty insane. Special condition for sure.

Thanks! I buy and sell so much that “side missions” like this really keep my interest up and are so fun and fulfilling. And hopefully I maintain enough actually valuable comics to keep things rolling. I have a ton of recent late run 20c books I’ll be posting in the next little while.

The side missions are so much fun and in a lot of ways more exciting than plugging away at big runs (or the one big run in my case). And getting those books in such high grade is a big, patient chase. I’d imagine - my target was usually a chunk (or two) lower. Especially that time period.

Just checked my account and it sold today. There's the one buyer showing up, I guess. That's a nice chunk to put towards something else. I just enjoy the whole process throughout.

That's awesome. And the other great part of it is I can get these kind of books for around $30 or less. Because you could crack this copy out and probably take it to every show in the country for a year and not get $35 for it. But as I joke, with only one highest copy I just need my one buyer...
