SOTIcollector Posted August 30, 2018 Share Posted August 30, 2018 Ooh, an Archie 1-10 + 50 club? Can I join? My 50 is a qualified fair, missing all interior pages and the back cover. Patriot6 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gadzukes Posted September 26, 2018 Author Share Posted September 26, 2018 I was looking at GPA for Archie 1. The most sales have been for 3.0s, which according to the census is where the majority of graded Archie 1s are (1/4 of all universal graded Archie 1's are a 3.0). In 2016 a 3.0 sold for $29,388. Since then, five 3.0 copies have sold. Pretty much, each copy selling for less. The latest 3.0 sold last month for $21,805 (a pretty steep decline from $29,388) What do you think? Is this just a "correction" from the Archie hype of a few years ago? Or is this a trend that will continue. I've always thought of Archie 1 as such an iconic comic with a classic cover. If the price decline IS part of a "correction", where do you think the value will stabilize? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ft88 Posted September 30, 2018 Share Posted September 30, 2018 A number of the 3.0's have the cover detached from the single staple. I would imagine a 3.0 attached would go for a premium. Ed Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A previous poster thought the detached cover is what kept the price down, but even though it's detached it's a really nice looking cover, especially the front cover.

Patriot6 Posted December 1, 2018 Share Posted December 1, 2018 @Ricksneatstuff Didn't want to clog up the new this week thread, so... In regards to your new #50, that copy looks great! What do you think it would have come back as sans the 'poor' PQ? Furthermore, how do you really feel about tan or slightly brittle? Especially if the copy in question looks way better than the grade? I recently purchased a book, I will post when it arrives, that I had the same conundrum with. Slightly brittle PQ, but a very nice presenting book. I went for it. Do you feel like the slab sort of protects the book from itself, meaning the pages are less likely to be affected when encapsulated? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chug-a-Lug Posted December 1, 2018 Share Posted December 1, 2018 Hi All. After scrolling through the Mile High thread, I noticed not a single Archie (or Pep, etc) has been posted. I assume the Mile High collection includes some Archie comics. Is there much known about which Archie comics exist from this collection? Any images out there? Thanks.
