Good catch, I was just checking out of curiosity to see if there had been any movement for this book in the past year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

szav Posted September 26, 2020 Share Posted September 26, 2020 Not quite $700 for a 1.0 but still a solid finish for a 3.0. Interesting to see the CLink description mention the theoretical Zodiac link. https://www.comiclink.com/auctions/item.asp?back=%2FAUCTIONS%2FALLSUB.ASP%3FFocused%3D1%26id%3D1052%26x%3D0%26y%3D0%26pg%3D24%23Item_1421675&id=1421675&itemType=0 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have no idea of the reliability of this author or the online community that seems to be trying to determine the identity of Zodiac. http://stevehodel.com/2014/05/new-zodiac-halloween-card-link-examines-zero-degrees-separation-george-hodel/ Link to book excerpt http://stevehodel.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/05/BDA-II-by-rope-by-gun-by-knife-by-fire.pdf He also believes his father was the Black Dahlia Killer as well as a handful of other murders around the globe Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Compare that "VG" with the VG- graded copy that sold for over $1,000. I doubt blissard's VG would even get a 3.0 by CGC, especially a trimmed copy like that. I guess I better start looking for this book at garage sales... Edited September 27, 2020 by Tri-ColorBrian Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
waaaghboss Posted December 11, 2020 Share Posted December 11, 2020 Looks like the last zodiac message was finally cracked.

szav Posted December 12, 2020 Share Posted December 12, 2020 Crazy that they solved it after all these years...so I hadn't looked at GPA on this one in a few months, but its gone bananas for sure. I'm surprised there's still only 9 slabbed copies, maybe there's just not enough awareness or it needs an OPG break out and citation of some sort. Does anyone know if there's any reason to believe this issue would be less common than the rest of the run? Looks like for the other Tim Holt keys #11 and #17 there's 43 and 51 slabbed copies respectively. comicnoir 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
adamstrange Posted December 12, 2020 Share Posted December 12, 2020 Probably still need a little more time for the market to motivate more sellers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It is interesting to observe the census and GPA on a rising GA book like this as it gains status, where its basically only low grade copies getting slabbed and sold. Are there many mid grade copies? are the people holding them waiting to see more on GPA before risking selling in higher grade? Do the majority of people holding them not even know they have it... Traditionally we see the opposite where its high grade higher value copies of books getting slabbed first.

adamstrange Posted December 12, 2020 Share Posted December 12, 2020 An example of a similar book is Mystery Tales 40 which the TV series made famous. That now has 49 copies, but only 3 are better than 6.0. aardvark88 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
szav Posted December 12, 2020 Share Posted December 12, 2020 Yep that's a perfect example...I never knew that book existed till just now because I never watched Lost hah. Looks like perhaps a good cautionary tale too because the GPA values on that dropped quite a bit after the show ended. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

(I watched on DVD years after it ended, so I never got caught up in the hype.) I'm not convinced that the Tim Holt comic inspired the Zodiac. It isn't impossible, but there would be no way to prove it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kav Posted March 28, 2021 Share Posted March 28, 2021 Zodiac seems to have been inspired by the Zodiac Watch-look at the symbols. comicnoir 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
