Centaur Comics 19 19

I looked for the WinDex on the Keen Detective series and couldn't find it. Did you run the numbers on that series, CMan?

 

The toughest issues of KDF are, in approximate order:

 

v1#10 (the toughest)

v1#9 (brutal as well)

Didn't Metro/Comicconnect auction one off a few months back, looked like a nice mid grade copy?

[CentaurMan]

No, they auctioned off a 1/9, which is definitely a tough book in its own right, but not impossible like 1/10.

 

I'll post the Church copies again, not to overexpose them (which I hate doing), but just because they are virtually perfect. The Church v1#10 might be the most perfect Church book I have, and I've got a number of nice Church books. It's almost impossible to find a flaw on it, and it's tighter and more brilliant than something you could buy on a newsstand today. Big thanks to Stephen F. for tracking it down for me.

still in awe...wish the fishler would track one down for me

[Silver Surfer]

Hey no need to apologize those books are incredible. The Church pedigree is simply ridiculous, some of the toughest books to find and in high grade condition that blows away most other pedigrees/copies.

[TheEyeSees]

Centaurman, you could post your Centaurs WEEKLY and I'm sure you wouldn't hear any arguments. As always, impressive books.

[CentaurMan]

Thanks guys.

 

Here are some of my other early Church KDF's. It's funny that the earliest ones are virtually perfect, while many of the later ones have some significant flaws. I've got 8 Church KDF's out of the first 12 issues, and I'd love to dig up the other four.

So I guess I really should just pick it up. I'd be getting it for well under $100.

 

My first Centaur should be on it's way shortly...

 

...and it's already sold.

 

He's checking for others though...

that would have been a nice one to have

[adamstrange]

This is such a good issue!

 

[gilbertotorres]

i'm hoping to get my hands on an amazing-man #5 after i'm done paying for my amazing fantasy #15.

 

i would like to know how much they go for. maybe 1.5-3.0

 

i have a lead on one close to me.

[TheEyeSees]

AMAN 5 unrestored or restored, GT?

 

for that grade range, i think you are looking at anywhere from just below $1000 up to $3000+, unrestored. the last 3.5 BLUE at heritage went for around $3800.

 

restored, a VG to fine copy generally seems to go for about $1500.

 

i way overpaid for my BLUE 1.8, and then had Susan Cicconi restore it (to further add to the cost), but its a beaut now. seems to be a book that is commonly restored.

Ryan,

 

Why don't you post a scan of your Aman 5 to share with us.

[TheEyeSees]

hey vern,

 

i've been meaning to post the before and after shots of susan's wonderful work... i'll do that later today either in the Centaur thread, or maybe a new one about Susan's work. or both.

 

 

 

[sacentaur]

I was fortunate enough to see Ryan's A-MAN 5 in person after he had it restored - simply beautiful.

 

Maybe I will own a copy one day...

[podboy66]

Thanks

[TheEyeSees]

Here's my copy of AMAN #5, before and after shot (before it was a BLUE 1.8).

 

Susan Cicconi did an AMAZING job on this book. As I mentioned, I overpaid for the book initially, so with the resto work , this is one of those books i'll have to hang on to for a long time to make any money out of it.

 

But... would you want to part with a book like this anytime soon??

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

BTW GT, the interior material is great... you won't be disappointed in this book.
