Target Comics #7 Mile High pedigree CGC NM+ 9.6
Content, scarcity, and grade are the factors that drive the value of a comic book, and here's a gem that combines all three. The Spacehawk cover by the much-collected Basil Wolverton makes the issue desirable in itself, but other big names from the "Funnies Inc." shop like Bill Everett (of Sub-Mariner fame), Carl Burgos (who created the Human Torch) and Tarpe Mills (creator of Miss Fury) also contributed to the issue, with Wolverton adding interior art as well. As for scarcity, Overstreet gives the book its seldom-used "scarce" designation, and Gerber's Photo-Journal assigns it a coveted "8." As for the condition, it's absolutely remarkable, with sharp corners and perfect interior page quality. The next-best certified copy as of this writing is a distant VF+ 8.5. Overstreet 2005 NM- 9.2 value = $8,600. CGC census 12/06: 1 in 9.6, none higher. <BR><BR><b>Shipping:</b> Slabbed Comic (<a target="_blank" href="http://www.heritageauctions.com/common/shipping.php">view shipping information</a>)
