What more can be said of this classic book? This copy is taken from the publisher Bill Gaines' own files (4/12). Not surprisingly, it is the highest graded copy. And at CGC 9.8 you can safely bet none higher will ever appear. Certificate of Authenticity included.

Those crazy E.C. folks printed the interior of this book intentionally upside down! Good thing Gaines kept this second best copy around so that it could be available 50 years later.

No doubt it is not surprising that this book is the highest graded copy with the next coming in at CGC 9.0. Chuck Cuidera art on the outside and Jack Cole work on the inside. Quality books from the mid-fifties are increasingly difficult to locate in this grade.

Overstreet 2009 NM- 9.2 value = $325.

Though this beauty is tied with one other as the highest certified copy in existence, the Mile High pedigree places it in a class by itself! If you want to finally own a book from one of the most sought after pedigrees, the prices don't go much lower than this.

Overstreet 2005 NM- 9.2 value = $160.
