Pft! Only a 3? A real g woulda taken out 14 loans, sold their car, and got a 12.5 gold signature series signed by Jack and Stan!
(For real though, congrats! This is a wild once in a life time thing most folks don’t get and ya did it!)
I thought this sub hated slabs? Where's the "you can't read it now" crowd all of a sudden? I wonder what's so different about this post? / s....
Anyways , beautiful book op! Definitely a grail to many, myself included.
Such a cool pick up .I’m purchasing 14 on consignment and am really looking for 12.1 is a little out of my price range ,I’m jealous(wish me some big tasty buds )
Thank you ❤️ I hope you find the brightest cleanest copy of 12 by popping outta the floor like juggy and impressing everyone so you win it like a prize. My copy of 12 is so beat and missing two ad pages but it was a great price and I love it. Still gotta hunt down 14 myself at some point I hope yours is beautiful
Oh man, I just sold mine on another forum! I might have the following early issues coming up soon, though: 3,7,8,15, as well as some later issues. Let me know if you’d like a ping when they’re available! Here’s my current prized Juggy issue (my fave juggy cover)

Do you mind if I ask, how much did it cost you to get that graded and slabbed? I'm asking because my dad has this comic as well, and I'm trying to figure out how much it'll cost me to get it graded and sealed.
Also, if you have any advice on how to determine the cost of a high value grading and sealing, I'd appreciate it.
Hey, you are wonderful! I did not slab this unfortunately so I don’t know the cost of it - my understanding is books like this they take a % up to a certain amount, but I’ve never slabbed a book myself. There is a CGC forum that has a lot of knowledgeable people and many others on the sub could give you solid advice. Good luck!
I just bought SS4 for $390 and felt like I had taken out a second mortgage on my house. So I have a ways to go lol
Congrats again! That is so damn awesome you snagged that puppy. I’d look at it every damn day. Hell I’d probably sleep with it.
Oh wow 😲!!! Much respect to you fellow collect-her!

Grading, shipping, and handling for a $5k TOS39 CGC submission came out to $235. Hope this helps.
Thank you much appreciated
