Just a Thought?
How about winning it for, say, $3.0 million. Getting the appropriate emails, then cancelling. Contact the winner directly and work out a payment for 4.5% less, splitting the difference of the 9% Ebay fees. Saves the seller and buyer $135K.

Karma!

I actually know Darren, and knew he had a ridiculous collection of high end Magic: The Gathering rare 9.5's and 10's as well as comics, but never did I know he was referring to this gem! With white pages, this does blow the Cage 9.0 out of the water. I think it is easily a 2.5M to 3M comic, but only if the right two parties are willing to part with the cash. Imagine a legit T206 Wagner coming to auction graded a 9 and perfectly centered to boot. That is similar to this book. Wonder how it survived all these years?

This all makes me wonder about the Edgar Church copy from the Mile High Collection. It's ungraded, but supposedly according to a former CGC president, it would grade a 9.4 (2 grades above this copy).

Same reasons not everyone gets their cards graded.

Eric, instead of quoting you and responding I accidentally hit the edit button but didn't edit your response at all...sorry about that...

I believe they said 1%, which is still a good bit given the total amount it will sell for...

Leon,

No worries. Thanks for clarifying.

And I appreciate the reply. That will be quite a gift to the Foundation. I work for a nonprofit organization and know how important generosity such as this can be.

Hope all is well.

Best regards,

Eric
