| I know several people have expressed interest in this book over the years. Charles Rozanski of Mile High Comics recently came into possession of one and shared about it on Facebook. So, here is what he shared. Quote: Originally Posted by Charles Rozanski  |

| “I am going to price this true rarity at many multiples above the ridiculously low price estimate in Overstreet, as I sincerely have no desire to ever let it go.” So, he’s gonna price it the same way he prices everything? |

| As much of a douchebag as Rozanski is, he still manages to stay in business despite his Mile High pricing. Keep shooting for the stars, Chuckles! | ||

Quote:Originally Posted by 00slim Chuck has an unusual pricing model for sure. Price everything at least double its current value and give everyone a 50% or 60% off codeword. Must be working for him. He's got the biggest comic store I've ever seen. |

| I've been looking for STUNTMAN #3 ever since I picked up #1 and #2 off the newsstand. At the time I didn't realize that they had discontinued publication of the title and spent a lot of time searching the newsstand for a #3. I didn't even know there was a #3 until I bought my first copy of OVERSTREET. Always thought I should have subscribed to it and then would have received a copy of #3. My STUNTMAN #1 (CGC 0194836001) is graded 5.0 and my STUNTMAN #2 (CGC 0194836002) is also a 5.0. Both were graded 08/06/2012...10 years ago. It will be interesting to see this copy...is it the same one auctioned by HERITAGE? |

| No, @DrWatson, that's an old auction from almost 20 years ago. @martymann was just asking if Chuck's copy is the same one that was auctioned by Heritage and it does appear to be. | ||

| Could be. Or someone could have one and not even be a collector. Maybe a relative died and they ended up with a bunch of belongings from the relative. Even then, considering the fact that this book was never sold on newsstands... this is rarity the likes of which I'll never touch in my collection, I bet. |

Quote:Originally Posted by DWeeB1967 It’s also very possible that @martymann is the only person alive today who has been actively looking for the book more or less since the day it didn’t arrive on the newsstands. It would actually be a newsworthy event for the entire industry if he and that book were to be brought together somehow. |

Quote:Originally Posted by EbayMafia This is something I wanted to talk about. When a book is so rare, that very few people A) know it exists and B) care enough about it to seek it out. As we know, that’s why this book sold for so low at auction 19 years ago. I agree with Chuck from Mike High that $1900 for a NM- copy of Stuntman #3 is incredibly low. Given the rarity of the book, $1900 is low for this Good+ copy. What it’s “worth” today, is anybody’s guess. |

 To answer your question, no, this is not where the comics go to die.

| Also, it looks like the original owner may have had 2 copies. The address is too close, IMO, to be 2 different people - just a typo error. Who knows? Also found the back of the book...    |
