After several years of pining away for one of the hardest to find JB books, I've finally procured one. As promised several years ago in another thread, I bought a CGC copy and freed it from it's tomb to enjoy.
I'm very pleased to be able to have this in my collection :)

Bert - That's awesome. If I had the opportunity I would've loved to have this signed in person, but either way I'm just super thrilled to have this interesting piece of comic history.

I wonder how many members here have a copy of this as JB said he thought only 500 copies were printed.

One of the veeery few JB books I don't own. Over the years, I've seen a few copies for sale -- I just can't justify paying the prices I've seen them marked at.
Congrats on getting one! Impressive!

Trivia: I gave the original art to one of my ACA friends, who, decades later, sold it when she needed money to put her daughters thru college.A while back, feeling nostalgic, I gave thought to buying it back--and learned the current asking price runs to 5 figures. I'm not that sentimental!
