What a book. Man. A thing of beauty. There is no number of cliches that can fully capture what it is we're looking at.

 

Okay, taking it down several notches (okay, several hundred notches :lol:)...

 

I noticed a CGC 0.5 (CRM/OW) in the ComicLink auction that ends tonight (just before 8 PM EST). It's currently at 1,701 which, to me, is pretty incredible considering it is an incomplete book with some married pages (its notes: "Last page missing, does not affect story. 1st page & 3 center wraps married.").

 

Maybe this is another indication that even the lowest of the low copies are beginning to be out of reach for tons of common folk comic collectors. Or maybe this is one of AF #15's upswings and in another couple of years prices will be about the same for these uber-low graders (:think: but I wouldn't want to be betting on that option).

 

I posted an earlier thread about AF15 being on the move, and I'm hoping it's a trend. Reason being of course is because I already picked up a 2.5 copy and I paid a premium for it (albeit knowingly).

 

On the minus side mine has CR/OW pages, but on the plus side it has no marvel chipping. I'm not sure which has greater impact on the price.

 

I certainly wouldn't mind having a 2.5. Good pick-up. An AF #15 doesn't necessarily get penalized for CRM/OW pages as much as those with OW or better get rewarded. For a book from 1962, it's not that bad. Plus, I've heard from countless folks on the boards that a CRM/OW can be an OW on a different grading day; in other words, PQ isn't necessarily a strength or consistent aspect of CGC. I'm going from anecdotal evidence, but there seems to be a whole lotta anecdotes.

This was the trend I was talking about a couple of months back. I noticed that there was an upswing with lower graded copies particularly those that are graded 4.0 and under. I'm glad I got my lower graded copy before the price hike :)

 

i'm still kicking myself for not buying the sucsha news copy. :cry:
