Kid Colt 218 is one of the keys to the series. Until earlier this year, there were only two copies of this book known. Terry Hall, who is the only person to complete the 35 cent variant set has one. Harry Miller, who only lacks two books to complete the set and will be the next person to complete the set has one.
And then a noted hunter of hidden variant comics on ebay who I call Sherlock Holmes found an auction lot titled KID COLT OUTLAW COMIC BOOK (BRONZE AGE) 9 ISSUES accompanied by the above picture. If you look closely, right in the middle of the picture, is the third known copy of Kid Colt 218. And Sherlock paid $12 bucks for the lot.
After receiving the books from the original seller, Sherlock listed the book correctly on ebay and not surprisingly the auction results were much different for the Kid Colt 218. The hammer price was $408.28 for this correctly listed book. I have not seen the book in hand, but the grade can probably be best described as "beater".
The remaining question is what is the cover price on the Kid Colt 220 in the top picture? And who says that searching for price variants isn't fun?
