Its safe to say the auction was legit, but I'm going to check on the feedback of the item's seller and buyer to make sure the deal didn't fall through on the buyer's end.

Even at 9.6, I'd have capped the bids at $600...thing is its a relatively unknown book with an unclear value. Hence the economic law of supply and demand is really at work here. Small supply vs. high demand equals selling your bodily organs for a book.

Good call Kree_boy. Amazon confirmed the run to 2000 a while ago but now I can't find it on their site. Barrington O Levy, the eBay seller who "let loose the Cracken" by being the first to tote this 1st app and its print number of 2000 as confirmed by Amazon.com, still has the stat in his Vendio Store http://app.vendio.com/storefront?view=ITEM_DETAIL&cid=8617084&lid=3044097622&mode=1 

Two days I've search and can't find anywhere else to confirm the number of originally supplied issues of Dime Press #4. But somehow WizardUniverse has gotten the number 2000 too... http://www.wizarduniverse.com/061808mwcomics.html

Now I'm in search of their source.

I don't speak Italian...so if there's anybody out there who can add to this information (from Italian to English) CHIME IN with documented sources and numbers1

I just sent the following off to WizardUniverse.com. Hope to hear from them soon.

 

Hello,
 
In WizardUniverse.com market watch 6/18/08, David Paggi posted:
"BEFORE HELLBOY
Another interesting item to watch out for would be Dime Press #4. Originally released in Italy as a fanzine in 1993 with an estimated print run of 2000 copies, this issue features a prototype of Hellboy by creator Mike Mignola. The issue predates Hellboy's other pre-first appearance in San Diego Con Comics #2 and Next Men #21. The issue has been selling for around $200.
"
 
My question is: what was his source of the Dime Press #4 print run? Where did he find the "estimated print run of 2000 copies?" I have tried to confirm the number through searching a variety of sources but come up empty; Google.com and Amazon.com amoung most but to no effect. This is a hot book, yes! And people are asking about the facts surrounding a book that has shaken loose the once thought to be 1st app. of Hellboy in San Diego Comic Con #2 ; a book which has blasted from obscurity to hot popularity in a matter of months. Please cite David Paggi's source(s) on this topic.
 
Thank you for your time,
 
Daniel Harper
