Slab both - the coverless copy and in a different slab, the repro cover and then put the cover slab on top of the other - viola, a King Solomon solution 

Oh having the two slabs pressed together is completely optional.

Not a lot of sales recently. Maybe slowed a little ?

Slabbed without the fake cover would be much nicer imo. 

As a collector and potential buyer, these wouldn't be as appealing with a fake cover hiding the quality.  It's always nice to see the original material and it's condition.

 

 

Very cool!

Gator, I'm relatively new to this era but am into WW II covers: flags, war bonds, patriotic themed, etc. I'm not into Schomburg, Captain America, All Winners, and so on. I recently got a Don Winslow war bonds cover, a Captain Marvel Uncle Sam cover, but missed out on a Raboy Captain Midnight flag cover. What are a few overlooked but really interesting covers I should consider?

Sounds like the perfect fit for you would be some of the early Master Comics with the classic war related Captain marvel Jr. covers done by Mac Raboy. 

In particular, I would go after books such as Master 27 with the classic V for Victory cover, Master 30 flag cover, and the Master 33 Swatiska cover. 

The only problem with those early Masters is that they very seldom ever come into the marketplace.

Hi Rick

Thanks to your best 5 GA in your collection I'm back in the hunt for a Punch 12. You got 1? What's the FMV on say a 2.0, 3.0 and 4.0 in your opinion?

Thanks

2.0 should run 4-5k

3.0 should run 6-8k

4.0 should run 10k+

challenge is finding a seller

Hey Rick

This may have been asked earlier here or in the CC Auction thread so sorry if I missed it.  Curious what you think the Fantastic Comics #3 will hammer at?  Know it is alternatively graded (not CGC) at 9.2 with extensive restoration so if you aren't comfortable commenting here, I understand.

20k+ wouldn't surprise me

I assume if it had been the "more traditional" form of Extensive restoration as opposed to this newer hyper form of Extensive restoration (or recreation) by IGB, it would most likely go for even more money.

That'd be my guess

In the current market what grades could you get a copy of Single Series #20 (Tarzan) for with $500.00-$750.00?

2.5-3.5 if you could find one. Only like 4 cgc copies 3.5 and below. A 4.0 probably pushes 1k+

So say 1,000.00 to 1,200.00 for a 4.0?

How difficult are these raw or CGC on a scale of 1 to 10?
