Thanks for helping out this bonehead. 11 minutes ago, Sqeggs said: The red on her hand and face shouldn't be there, right? Correct; there are a couple red spots on the cover but the flip-side doesn't show any bleed through. Considering the red spots, and the seller's asking price, I'll pass, as much as I really do enjoy this cover. Funds will be redirected to a nice looking copy of Miss Fury #2 instead.

Artboy99 Posted August 3, 2017 Share Posted August 3, 2017 I could see a price of $300-$350 max. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Seller has it as a 4.5-5.0 @$350 sticker. Wasn't sure on FMV but his prices on other GA did seem high so not surprising. I'll keep my eyes peeled for another.

I am with Retro on the $175 pricing but in light of how the prices are going up on golden age books I could see a seller putting $300 on it. It is a number 1 after all, and you don't see it all that often. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sqeggs Posted August 4, 2017 Share Posted August 4, 2017 I think we had a discussion of this issue in another context and someone knowledgeable described it as a minor PCH key. I don't follow PCH closely enough to judge how accurate that assessment is, but I don't think $350 would be impossible at auction. If it was actually in a blue 4.5 or 5.0 slab, I could see it doing that and maybe more. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The days of picking up nicely presenting copies of better PCH for less than 200 are probably gone.

I'll bet it will continue on it's upward pricing into the future too. I wanted to get a copy before we started measuring it in "how many k" terms which I feel it's headed into now. I agree. HT #5 has been an underrated cover for a long time. One of my favorites! Almost 15,000 posts and 13 years ago, it was the book that started this thread! Still have it Edited August 7, 2017 by *paull* Jayman and vaultkeeper 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
