1950's war comics Posted October 15, 2017 Share Posted October 15, 2017 I think my #3 is a CGC 3.5 at best also...... not even worth getting graded ?? but some superior force is compelling me FoggyNelson and Lucky Baru 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
1950's war comics Posted October 15, 2017 Share Posted October 15, 2017 The CGC census shows that Sugar and Spike #3 has four graded copies total so far... 1- in 6.5 2- in 5.0 1- in 4.0 boy is this a tough set in grade ! even accounting for any and all of the higher grade raws in the wild its still tough !! maybe my 3.5 isn't so bad after all Lucky Baru and FoggyNelson 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

1950's war comics Posted October 16, 2017 Share Posted October 16, 2017 Unlike the tough first two issues of Sugar and Spike , with issue #3 they start to become a little more readily available albeit in low grade.... currently at this time there a three copies for sale on eBay although all of them are likely less than VG ,the prices range from $35 to $70 for these lower grade copies and in the completed listing over the last 2 months eBay shows that three copies have sold recently ,two low grade low priced copies.. and one copy graded 5.0 by another company, this copy appeared to be fairly graded and was listed for $210.00 , it was listed and re-listed for many months and finally was sold as a best offer so likely 10-15% off that price Lucky Baru, ComicConnoisseur and FoggyNelson 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

1950's war comics Posted October 16, 2017 Share Posted October 16, 2017 Recent news of issue #1 today 10/17/17 there are currently no Sugar and Spike #1 for sale any where on the internet.......Heritage has a couple which the owner may or may not be accepting offers , most likely not unless offer was through the roof. the most recent sale i am aware of was about a month ago on eBay , a very low grade water damaged #1 was listed for sale on a monday night at about 8:00 pm eastern time at $400 and sold almost immediately ! admittedly the front cover presented nicely on this issue which if sent to CGC could likely have received a grade of 1.5 - 1.8 FoggyNelson, ComicConnoisseur and Lucky Baru 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
1950's war comics Posted October 17, 2017 Share Posted October 17, 2017 Recent news of issue #2 on this date 10/17/17 there a two (2) issue of Sugar and Spike #2 for sale on the eBay.... On eBay a newer listing graded as a 2.5 raw is aggressively priced at $500 with a best offer option, in my opinion the staples look a bit rusted which is a no-go for me at any price also on eBay there is a reader copy listed as a 4.0 with a comment that the front cover has a complete tear through it which has been repaired by glue this issue is somewhat reasonably priced at $114 and there are 6 people watching it, this issue would likely bring a CGC purple label 3.0 but the price is within reason for someone wanting an cheaper example of this tough issue, one would think that one of those 6 watchers would pull the trigger but this issue has been listed and relisted on eBay for at least a year .....

1950's war comics Posted October 23, 2017 Share Posted October 23, 2017 I took a long look at my issue #3 recently and i think it has a decent shot at a CGC 4.0 when i submit it....... Lucky Baru and FoggyNelson 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
1950's war comics Posted October 23, 2017 Share Posted October 23, 2017 The page quality i is good and it's white pages and also it is structurally sound... so seeing as how a CGC 6.5 is highest graded i would be pleased with a CGC 4.0 Lucky Baru and FoggyNelson 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
1950's war comics Posted October 23, 2017 Share Posted October 23, 2017 Remarkably ,... Sugar and Spike issue #4 has only one graded copy in the CGC census as of 10/23/17 ,.. a CGC 5.0 This white border comic has an issue date of Oct/Nov 1956 and while i was aware that ALL early issues are tough to non-existent in higher grades, i was surprised that the census did not yet currently have one higher than 5.0 i am sure there are some of fine or better condition raws out there yet to be graded..... i will have to pull mine out again to grade,.. although i am certain that it is a low grade CGC 3.0 at best.........

1950's war comics Posted October 23, 2017 Share Posted October 23, 2017 There are currently six (6) copies of Sugar and Spike #4 for sale on eBay ranging in price from $40 -$175 Mycomicshop has three low grade issues priced around $40 each of the other three for sale none look much better than VG- 3.5 at best and even the copy advertised as VG+ and asking $175 looks no better than a VG either ComicConnoisseur, Lucky Baru and FoggyNelson 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
