THE AMAZING FANTASY #15 CLUB 39 39

[peewee22]

Can't believe the trimming was overlooked. I know this book inside out and the bottom is trimmed for sure. No manufacturing flaw here.

Still a nice book though.

Anybody know what the AF15 CGC 7.0 blue label sold for last night on CL or(CC) EDIT: forget it, I found it, I think - 85k

Yes. The 3.5 went for $16984. The 0.5 incomplete finishes in 9 days and is at $4877 right now.

By a lot too.  4 of the last 5 recorded on GPA went over $100k

And it’s a really nice copy also.

Collectors dislike chips and tanning. That may have kept the price < 100k.

Still a nice copy.

The 7.0 that sold on HA 2 months ago for $114k looks a full grade higher (or more) than this one.  Definitely the chip & the tanning brought the price down on this one, but still..... $85k seems like a deal.

I agree, 85K is a bit soft for a 7.0. This 7.0 also had a chip on the back cover which didn't help the price either. Perhaps 7.0 copies FMV are in the 85K-110K range depending on eye appeal and page quality,

[peewee22]

People forget asthetics have a value, esp on big ticket books. Yes 85k is probably about right for this book.

Hey All, newbie here! I'm thinking about sending my copy in for CGC but don't know what to set the value at? Does anyone have any advice for me? any help appreciated!

[gadzukes]

Wow! What a nice comic for a Newbie to pop in with!  I think you're going to want to ship it over to CCS first for a press and a dryclean.  Looks like a 5.5-6.0 right now but after a press/dryclean maybe a 6.5?

If there's nothing wrong with it (clipped coupons, detached pages, resto, etc...) you're looking at a comic valued somewhere between $45k-$65k.

It's got a lot of Marvel Chipping which will bring the value down a bit, but...... great comic!

Congrats my friend, and welcome to the boards.

Thanks Gadzukes! I collected as a kid and then after college in the early '90s, but haven't touched my books until 6 months ago. Was floored by how much some accrued value (like this one).  I want to get it graded but i'm a bit hesitant to send it through the mail. I'll need to figure something out. I sent a few books to CGC for the first time this month.

Glad to be in the presence of fellow AF 15 owners!  A fine bunch for sure!

Collectibles Insurance covers the copy during transit for grading, at a fraction of the price it would take to replace that copy that is for sure .

You can also wait for a comic convention in which you can attend where CGC will be there taking submissions.

[tbshay]

@ Dark Knight Thanks! i had read about that but was not sure how much of hassle it is, if the lines are really long or what.  I'll have to see when they are in NY/NJ next...

With a raw copy like this, which has chipping but also areas of pre-chipping, what's the risk that a clean and press would result in losing even more of the cover along the edges?

(Great book by the way!)

Does anyone else just pretend Amazing Fantasy 15 doesnt exist....because you know its now too late to get one ?

for me, I'm basically blocking it out like the book doesnt even exist so it doesnt bother me that I dont have it and cant get it.

I have an almost complete Amazing Spider-Man set from 1 to 670...I'm missing 3,8,11,12,13 and 14 from having a complete set....I know longer even consider Amazing Fantasy 15 missing nor do I think about it as a book I need to complete the collection...I have SHUNNED this book because The Pain of knowing I'll never have bothers me too much.

desperate I know....but I recommend giving it a try if you dont have it.....at this point,Its going to be extremely difficult to get one and only getting harder...The Overwhelmingly majority who wants one...at this point will never have one now....I recommend SHUNNING this book  and pretending it doesnt exist...instead of constantly holding out false hope you'll ever get it...

 

PS, This is a total compliment....the fact are This book Is so Astonishingly Incredible...I cant take the pain of not having it...therefor I completely dont think about it ever, and pretend it doesnt exist.
