and for added bonus a nice number one yellow for only $48...

For those that don't know, this Maxx Black #3 is the toughest to find and some questioned if any actually existed...the only copy ever seen is with our old friend ZWH! I'm very close to completing the Maxx Ashcan full set, which to my knowledge no one has!
Very cool for you, hope you find the rest for a decent price.

Well there's only 50 made of this Black and only the second one ever seen...so yeah, some of these are ridiculously tough to find.

If you hurry and get a CGC 9.8 out of it, you might get $250 for it...

Glad it went to a good home (though scary how cheap CGCs are now). I skipped this one due to the auction being north America only.

Very nice. Used to be $100+, assuming you can even find one up for sale. :thumb:

If it wasn't for this board I wouldn't have known anything about the Miracleman book. :thumb:
It was such a random find while flipping through several long boxes of commons.
Oh I also found a couple Valiant Nintendo books and the notorious Alf #48 too!
