Owner's Description

ComicConnect auction win - March 2023. Three copies were certified by CGC in the June 2021-22 period and two of them bettered my existing book (which had been tied for second highest graded at the time, trailing a sole 8.5). New to the census was a 9.2 and another 8.5, making this one the SINGLE HIGHEST GRADED copy on the CGC Census!

I had picked up my old CGC 8.0 of this issue in the November 2019 Heritage auction... that was another huge day for my early B&B run collection, as I picked up my copies of #7-#10, #13 & #16 that day (some having since been upgraded). There were so many B&B's available that I couldn't win them all!

So, eventually the new 9.2 hit the auction market and with limited chances to add to/upgrade my collection in the last twelve months, this one was obviously on my radar (to be fair, I was pretty successful in 98% of those chances - only passing on a CGC 7.5 B&B#31 - which would fill a hole in my collection - because I felt/feel that a better copy is out there with my name on it). The closing price was at my absolute limit for what I was willing to pay...but the other bidder could likely see that based on my bid amount and they held off on one more bid...maximizing the amount I was willing to pay! It's not the first time that has happened, it won't be the last. I do like the ComicConnect bid process, however, in that it does ensure no last second snipe bids.

Irv Novick penned the Silent Knight cover.

As an aside, the back cover shows how times have really changed. You don't see ads like that anymore! In those days, kids could go "have fun" with their daisy, then relax afterwards with a few candy cigarettes.
