PGM pence Keys

38 posts in this topic

Congrats on those grades. I was thrown off by the rusted staples on the Avengers 1 too. Looking at the pics, 6.5 seems pretty generous, but like you say... in hand the comics can look a lot different.

 

Strange that they didn't note "UK Edition" on the FF 1. I wonder if they added it to the US census of the UK census.

Never looked at the census before I sent these, I should have thought about that.

Just looked now heres the breakdown, I should have bought more of these back in the day.

 

Avengers #1

Cents = 1966 copies

Pence = 21 copies, highest is a 8.0

 

Daredevil

Cents = 2187 copies

Pence = 11 copies, highest is a 8.5

 

Fantastic Four # 1

Cents = 1310 copies

Pence = 5 copies, highest is a 5.0 :o

Hulk 1

Cents = 944 (1/4 are restored)

Pence = 10 (universal) copies, highest is a 5.5

 

I can't believe how rare the FF1 pence copy is. That's surprising.

Living here in the UK, I have never felt confident about sending my own books in to CGC (these are the first I have ever sent, thanks Nick - FlamingTelepath) I know a few people do, but the vast majority dont.

Raw pence keys are a lot more common here, than these stats would lead you to believe.

I have personally seen a lot higher grades raw, than these, over the years.

Kevin, how was your overall experience in sending these in? What was your turn-around time?

 

Have you seen any high grade raw pence copies of AF15 or TOS39? I ask because I currently have the highest graded copies of both of those comics and I'm hoping they stay the highest graded copies.

I sent a total of 12 books, I have had these books for 20+ years and more in some cases, I would have been concerned, except I wasnt worried at all, as it was Nick with the reins.

The experience wouldnt have happened at all if it wasnt for Nick (Flaming Telepath) (worship) I doubt (I wouldnt) have sent them myself.

I sent them to Nick in March 2013 and got 6 back in June 2013

The other 6 are still away :( hopefully back soon, they are not key books.

 

I had a table at a mart in the late 1990s and someone was selling very HG copies of AF#15 and AMS #1 ( NM ) to me at the time. I just couldnt raise the £1000 ( $1500) each he wanted at the time :o

They are out there somewhere.

I have a few friends with raw AF #15 but I dont remember if they would beat your 7.0 even if they were to send them in ( they wont)

I think you are safe for a while.

I have never seen a HG TOS #39, in fact the only pence copy I ever saw in the wild, is my own copy and that is probably close to being the lowest grade :cry:lol

Ill predict 2 steps higher than NIK sold them to you. Please Confirm at the end of the show. :-)

 

Grades already posted.

I have had these books since I was a kid, Nick didn't sell them to me, he got them graded for me.
