Journey Into Mystery #83 Club

Finally a member of this club! Here is my copy

 

Congrats and welcome to the club! Very nice copy with white PQ and a well-centered cover.

I've seen so many JIM 83's out there with the cover's right edge cut short, even affecting as far as the "MC" box, let alone the Comics Code stamp. And those were all legit printing defects!

 

this is a pretty nice copy my 5.5 is cut short on the right edge due to a miswrap. While i wouldn't go so far as to say this looks nicer than my book due to the creasing but having a nice wrap and the number block fully intact enhances the presentation for sure.

Yes. The right-edge cut is certainly due to miswraps to varying degrees. I notice that one can never get the full 100% artwork of the cover without compromising a bit of either the right or left edge. This 4.5 copy's wrap is perhaps as best as you could possibly get.

Picked this up a few years back at Heroes Con from Harley.

Here's my 83.

Wow does this thread need a bump.

I picked up this beauty over the weekend. The colors really POP. From an original owner collection that was recently found (not one of the comics in the collection were bagged and boarded, which shows this collection probably wasn't touched for years)

Ouch !

Not seeing that sale on GPA? This sale seems soft but not that much out of line with other sales (sold for a low of $179k in 2014). Census has 8 universal 9.4 and one 9.6. Does anyone know when the 9.6 was graded?

Maybe the mistake was selling it on Comiclink?

Given the strong prices paid for ultra-HG mega-keys of late, that seems like a bargain now.

If anyone is looking for a CGC 9.4 JIM 83, I can get you a copy for a mere $285K!
