I started off with a bang! This is Startling Comics #20 and is from the Mile High/Church collection.This book is harder to find than most any book you can think of. This is the ONLY copy ever graded by CGC. It was given a qualified 9.2 grade because it had two extra staples in it. That is an old scan though--right now it is deslabbed. Currently, it is the best known existing copy. I went down to CGC today and had lunch down there and was told that if I could find 2 or 3 copies of this book in 10 years of searching, I'd be lucky. I was at first thinking that I paid too much for the book, but have since changed my tune

Yo, that's ridiculously cool. So is this the sort of thing you'd hold onto for yourself? Talk about liquid assets, this must be worth a bundle. Then again, maybe worth so much it'd be hard to move? I don't really know what it's like when you get up to the fiduciary stratosphere like this little puppy (also don't know how to use fiduciary in a sentence, but I spelled it right on the first go).

Do you suppose Edgar Church himself put in those extra staples?

(To help "preserve" it? Do other high page count Mile Highs have extra staples?)

VERY nice.

Good lord, did you pay more for this than your Cap #1?

"They are blind to history's clear lesson, for history teaches with unmistakable emphasis that appeasement but begets new and bloodier war. It points to no single instance where this end has justified that means, where appeasement has led to more than a sham peace. Like blackmail, it lays the basis for new and successively greater demands until, as in blackmail, violence becomes the only other alternative."

"Why," my soldiers asked of me, "surrender military advantages to an enemy in the field?" I could not answer.

Is this a flipping book or going to hold onto it?

What I want to know, KOR, Do you agree with the grade?

I got bought a book from his Dallas Stephens collection..he graded it a VF..was a f at best..

so I'm wondering if you agree with the grade? or do you think it was over-graded..
