With two pristine copies currently up for auction by two of the big three,thought i'd share mine. Love this Knight cover. Condition wise not on those levels, but it's mine.

 

Nice - I used to own the San Francisco on that.

Thank you, and why ever did you let that go?!?

A sweet trade.

Long day juggling work while out of the office looking at houses ... but allow me to summarize missed activity by saying, thanks for the feedback on the BR 18... I am definitely all about uniformity, but think I'll hold off on the re-grade. There's no rush.

Next, in response to the TN12 and Hangman 3 posts: (thumbs u

That's all for the Golden boy. G'night.

Man, that is some sick stuff! No wonder these are so hard to find. Both are on my want lists now for sure.

Is the no# 30 hard to find? I think I remember someone saying it is impossible to find, even more so than the other zips.

Not impossible but dang near!! the double deuce is pretty tough too from what I gather...these books may simply be locked up in collections though who knows... they are the epitome of Classic

All the Zip war covers are tough. I've tried to figure out if any one stands out as tougher than the others & all I can really say is that 21 & 27 are a bit easier to find than the rest.

That is a pretty serious group shot!!!!!!

At one point #34 was considered very hard to find. I sold a FR/G copy on ebay many years ago for more than double low guide, though probably a bargain at today's prices.

If you go by the CGC census, the toughest of the first 35 issues (which seems to be the run of issues in highest demand) are 17, 19, 32 and 33. There are 3 or less of each in the census.
