rjpb Posted November 9, 2015 Share Posted November 9, 2015 Lately random mid-run Superhero issues of Prize Comics have been selling for around $150 a point, even ones without war covers. I never really followed this title, but it seems to me that that's multiples of what they were selling for maybe a year ago. Why the sudden demand?

Robot Man Posted November 9, 2015 Share Posted November 9, 2015 They are great books. Most have great covers and nice contents with Frankenstein and Green Lama. Have always been a challenge to find. I have quietly been buying them for years but I'm afraid the secret is out of the bag now... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Amen to that....... they were cheap by comparison and very difficult to find.....especially the first 35 or so. Very well done material.

Very true, great cover art increases desirability, and early Prize Comics has a number of interesting characters. While variety themed comics are lucky to have one or two recurring characters worthy of promotion, Prize has at least four noteworthy cover touted back-up features before it's 10th issue. While I'm not a Prize collector, if the interiors are on par with the covers this title certainly deserves more attention. My Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Robot Man Posted November 9, 2015 Share Posted November 9, 2015 No, they suck inside. Please move on to DC or Timely. waaaghboss 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jimbo_707 Posted November 9, 2015 Share Posted November 9, 2015 It only takes two collectors trying to build runs at the same time to cause a price spike on GA material. I think my favorite issue is #17; I almost went after the 5.0 that sold on Heritage last year. It's not something I'd want to pay much over guide for, though, and it went for almost $500, which was more than 2X guide. http://comics.ha.com/itm/golden-age-1938-1955-/superhero/prize-comics-17-prize-1941-cgc-vg-fn-50-off-white-to-white-pages/a/7093-91223.s?ic4=OtherResults-SampleItem-071515 Another title that I like that's been selling high lately is Lightning Comics. I really wanted the V2#1 that sold on HA this summer, but it went for $900—5 times guide! I was watching it right up till the end, but I couldn't justify paying that kind of money for it. I'd have gone double guide without a second thought. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
