Owner's Description
Issue #48 is an 80-Page Giant and has thus always commands a premium over regular JLA issues. It contains reprints from Brave and Bold #29, JLA #2 and JLA #3. There are two 9.8s atop the census, the Pacific Coast copy and the Fantucchio copy, which we now own. The PC copy recently sold on Heritage for $9,000. While we might ideally prefer the PC Pedigree, the best of the Fantucchios have amazing inks, a characteristic that our copy shares. We acquired our book from a friend and fellow collector in a private transaction in May 2020.
2022 Update: the PC copy came up for auction again on CL in March 2022 and only made $6,377, showing once again that any appreciation in JLAs is apparently limited to a few keys. We contemplated making a run at it, but it has OW pages and, after looking it over again, I honestly believe our book is the far nicer of the two, despite my usual preference for Pacific Coast pedigrees.
