That 7.0 sold for about what I paid for a 7.5 last year. I thought at the time the price was kind of high, but since it was for my personal collection I decided it was worth the cost. Good to see the price where it is at.

I wonder how many are slabbed at higher grades than your 7.5? Maybe not many...

There's a 7.5 currently for sale for $570 that I've come close to pulling the trigger on a few times. But I keep feeling that it's still a bit high.

Slightly off topic, I've never seen a Turok #1 for sale. What's the deal with that book?

I don't think there's a Turok 1 from back in the day. He first appeared in Four Color 596.

AFAIK there isn't a #1 and #2

The first and second appearances were in four-color comics #596 and #656 and gold key started Turok SoS with #3
Why waste time learning, when ignorance is instantaneous?

That Turok 3 sounds like an important book.

That's correct. Several of the Four Color books ended up being "first issues" for series that started their title numbering where Four Color left off.

Turok #3 is the first issue in the title... Four Color 596 and 656 are #1 and #2.
Donald Duck #26 is the first issue in the title... somewhat random issues of Four Color spanning 10 years are #1 - #25.

Just purchased a Magnus #1 5.5 for $300.00. I feel it's a bit on the higher end of the band, but I've been getting itchy about not having one.

I regret not buying that 7.5 for $570. :!:

Are you holding out for a specific grade/price?

7.5 :lol:

My grail would be 8.5 or higher. I have a couple low grade raws which I picked up for a song, so I'm in no hurry.
