John Hey John, Page 5 popped up in ebay for a decent price in my opinion. https://www.ebay.com/itm/CAPTAIN-AMERICA-COMICS-1-1ST-APPEARANCE-OF-CAPTAIN-AMERICA-BUCKY-PAGE-5/133001822127?hash=item1ef786bfaf:g:mj0AAOSw7a9cmG~F Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
colossus is awesome! Posted March 26, 2019 Share Posted March 26, 2019 (edited) So with Cap 1 trending at 25k-50k per point do you think that would in turn raise prices for restored/qualified copies? I only ask because i recently won the 7.0 Jon Berk (restored)on CL, for what I feel was a steal even with it being restored at the 2300 per point. And in terms of the Batman 1 vs Cap 1, I see many more batman 1 available at any moment compared to batman 1. I think on eBay I see like 9 or 10 copies at a time, were as cap 1 I was looking for awhile for a copy.

Dave There was a time when restored books were avoided, but elevated price points and secure third party grading help increase FMV for non blue label books. The demand for Cap 1 is always on the up as well. Bat 1s are certainly more available. colossus is awesome! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gadzukes Posted May 31, 2019 Share Posted May 31, 2019 (edited) Cap 1 pages and wraps have been popping up like crazy on ebay lately. There's even a cover (well, most of a cover) on ebay right now. I was able to snag the 7th wrap for under $400. I think I got the page with the first appearance of Betty Ross (aka Peggy Carter). The wrap doesn't have Redskull on it (dang), but still..... it's a Cap 1 wrap for under $400. The top edge and free edge look to have rodent/bug chews (or was that a clever way to hide a trim?). Can I be part of the club with 1 wrap? Edited May 31, 2019 by gadzukes GreatCaesarsGhost, Chicago Boy, pmpknface and 1 other 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chicago Boy Posted May 31, 2019 Share Posted May 31, 2019 (edited) The tec pages that you speak of haven’t had any new bids in a while. The typical cooling down point until the storm. The action page is up to 4K but hasn’t met its reserve yet. I wonder what the reserve is on it ? I’m guessing reasonably 5 to 7K Edited May 31, 2019 by Chicago Boy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It does have white pages so maybe the consigned is thinking closer to 10k with the 25k page 1 sale and the 16k page 5 sake of recent times.

And I agree with you, as much as I hate to see any of the few copies that remain parted out, it has made pieces of history obtainable to collectors who couldn’t otherwise afford them and at the same time, helped to boost the value/desirability of the few complete copies that remain.

Thanks, Wynne-Tec. I’m a bit conflicted about the “parted out” aspect, too. But I never crack my books out, and although fun, reading the reprints don’t have the same allure for me as holding the original. That’s where the pages come in. It’s a glimpse inside of the book that I wouldn’t otherwise get. Knightsofold 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
