| There was only 1 other cgc9.4 AP #2's when I had mine graded. Must be more coming out of hiding now. Also have a 9.8 C--t. I agree with the good dr., $150 for a 7.0 is too high but have had no trouble finding them for $50.00. As for being so common I don't know. So many were confiscated, maybe they have just faired better than most and not been beer stained and thrown away like some others. Seems like they should get some credit for pushing the envelope with such blatant artwork.

Well I'm glad I picked up several sets of Air Pirates #1 & 2 when Fishnuts had his beautiful copies on ebay for $65.00 a set. The copies I received from him are in the 9.2 to 9.4 range and maybe a little more. I remember my wife looking at me with that look ( You guys know that look, lol ) when I told her that I thought they would be a good investment. She no longer gives me that look when I show her some of the prices that they are going for now. I barely even opened them up except to check page paper condition since I have lesser copies to read. They will be going to CGC for grading along with a couple dozen other choice 1st print titles that I have in similar condition.
I have some reservations in encapsulating comix but I firmly believe it is the best way to get the best return from my investment. I have a "Goose Lake Gags" that appears to be in the 7.0 range that I will CGC . IT only cost me $4.00 in set of mixed comix where I spotted the clown face peeking out from behind another comix in the batch being sold. I don't think I can go wrong getting that graded since I paid so little for it. It's a wonder that any copies of this concert program done in comix format survived after probably being rolled up in many attendees back pockets and used to roll doobies on way back when.  Happy Hunting !!!

| I was lucky enought to get one of those Air Pirates sets by Fishnuts too when I was the only bidder for $49.99. Now those and the Cherry's seem to be the only things consistantly above guide lately.
