<B>Congo Bill #1 (DC, 1954) CGC VG/FN 5.0 Off-white to white pages.</B></I> Gerber calls this book "scarce," and Overstreet uses the same term, noting, "rarely found in fine to mint condition," all of which explains why this VG/FN specimen is the highest graded copy CGC has certified as of this writing. Two eye-catchers are the gorilla cover (a DC Silver Age trademark), and a gorgeous lady (a Nick Cardy trademark). And let's not forget our pith-helmeted hero, whose adventures inside the comic were drawn by Cardy as well. Overstreet 2004 VG 4.0 value = $262; FN 6.0 value = $393. <BR><BR><B>Important notice:</B> Heritage usually auctions material at the rate of 200-250 lots per hour. On some occasions eBay Live bid software or the Internet may not be able to keep up with the pace of the auction. We recommend placing a realistic absentee bid now as insurance to avoid disappointment. Occasionally the auctioneer may eliminate or reject an eBay Live bid, and the auctioneer may also reopen a lot after the close of the eBay live bidding (usually because we missed an audience bid), and may reject your bid even if it shows you as the winning bidder. By bidding via eBay Live, you agree that Heritage may award the lot to another bidder at its sole discretion under the circumstances described above or any other reasonable circumstances. Since eBay bids are not shown to us until we open the lot on the floor, we treat those bids just like floor bids. In most cases the floor responds before the eBay bid is presented to us, due to Internet lag time, so for consistency we have made it a policy that floor bids are always considered first over tie eBay live bids. Also please note that all Heritage lots purchased through eBay Live carry a 20% Buyer's Premium. Please make sure you read the Terms and Conditions before you bid.
