Wayne-Tec Posted March 27, 2018 Author Share Posted March 27, 2018 On 3/24/2018 at 12:19 PM, Dark Knight said: I've also taken into consideration that i think it is tougher to find a complete coverless copy than a complete copy and that it is the entry level for collectors so bidding will always be more since complete copies are out of reach for most. In today's market, ANYTHING can happen. And I agree with jgallo that a complete copy with supple pages is in that price range. Complete coverless can be very tough. So many coverless copies have been used for missing parts. It’s not at all uncommon to see key coverless books missing the centerfold, first few wraps, etc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If no one cares, low. 8k-15k imo. Oh yeah I agree 100% that if 2 people needed one it would sell for a premium, as that would apply to any coverless complete comic. I currently need a back cover to my Batman 1, and would absolutely pay more for a back cover if one came up for auction. Whatever it would take to get it. So in the scenario someone or multiple people owned a loose cover and needed a coverless complete Cap 1 that happened to come up for sale, I once again agree it would likely sell for more than usual. I personally feel that's a very rare scenario though, especially for two people to happen to have loose covers, but it's definitely possible. I mean in private settings, I imagine there may be covers out there with dealers that we don't know of and who would pay more for a coverless comic to complete it. But at auction, I have very rarely seen loose pages or covers come up for sale. Have seen it a handful of times, but not often. I've definitely seen more coverless comics go up for sale at auction than loose covers, that's for sure. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Knightsofold Posted March 28, 2018 Share Posted March 28, 2018 To me it seems like it’s usually the first wrap or CF that people seem to want from the interiors. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If no one cares, low. 8k-15k imo. This is what happened to me 4 or 5 years back. I needed a Cap 1 CF, had searched for 5 years with no luck to find one, but then a horrendously bad coverless copy of it came up on CC or CL. All the wraps were split at the spine except the CF, and at least 6 pages had panels cut out. In my mind I figured $4000 would be enough to win it (remember, prices were lower back then), but I got into a bidding war with someone else and I ended up shelling out $8000 for it. I figured it might be my last time to realistically have a shot at getting the Cap 1 CF so I went all in. I am SOOOO happy I did.

Married CF isn't a big deal to me, especially if the page quality of the CF is close to the other pages. LDarkseid1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

At least the CF is complete with no giant rips or anything like that. Edited March 29, 2018 by gadzukes LDarkseid1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post lhcomics Posted March 31, 2018 Popular Post Share Posted March 31, 2018 (edited) My Bat 1 was missing back cover. 3 years ago I found a guy selling front and back cover on eBay. Both covers were glued to a notebook binder. Matt was able to remove both and dry clean them. I graded the front cover and it got blue label. I kept the back and it's with my Bat1 sitting in a mylar. No plans to attach it. Before and after of back cover. Edited March 31, 2018 by lhcomics mwotka, batman_fan, gadzukes and 2 others 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If I did grade it would get qualified. P.S. you need to reduce the size of images in your signature line. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
