october Posted October 2, 2018 Share Posted October 2, 2018 (edited) It's a measure of how incredibly strong the market is, that results like this one don't even get a mention on the boards anymore. 0.5 brittle for over $2,000. https://www.comiclink.com/Auctions/item.asp?back=%2FComicTrack%2FAuctions%2Fbids.asp&id=1268483 Glad I got my 9.6 white when I did!

Such little data on that book it is tough to come up with a value especially with the astronomical increases to golden age horror / classic covers.

We'll if you extrapolate from the sale of the cgc 0.5 brittle page copy with typical GA book scaling, your 5.5 should be about a $30,000 book... and the previously mentioned 9.6 should go for $500,000- 750,000. Good luck with that to both of you ... comicnoir 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'd like to say 12-15k is what it would bring at auction, but with this market, who knows? The hopes of me ever getting a decent looking copy are gone with the wind. That's about the only thing I know for sure. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Good luck with that to both of you ... Well, as we all know by now, Overstreet doesn't list guide valuations for uber HG books over NM- 9.2 condition levels due to the high volatility associated with these nosebleed grades. Likewise, I guess Overstreet also doesn't bother to list guide valuations for books under the Good 2.0 condition levels. Perfectly understandable here for both key GA books or HTF classic cover books due to the "clinically insane" prices being paid by collectors just to obtain entry level copies of these books.

My estimates were tongue in cheek ... quickly extrapolated from a price per point estimate... pretty sure they’d go nowhere near what I said... but who knows!

Johnny545 Posted October 4, 2018 Share Posted October 4, 2018 Some one lost their mind on that Mask (or playing games), doubt that person pays for it. Not at all indicative of market. Going back up in the next auction is my guess, like the accepted reprint popular teenagers an auction or two back. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When you can obtain a 4.0 with that kinda eye appeal, it just doesn’t make sense to pay for a higher grade. I’d be very content with a collection of 4.0s of all my favorites that presented that well. shortboxed and Ricksneatstuff 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
