Since you seem to be so knowledgeable about this early pre-hero DC penciled "S" collection, would you also happen to know much about the "grease penciled S" collection for some of the early Fox books like Mystery Men and Wonderworld?

King Comics # 1 was g- per the Errata insert sheet for catalog. Now, a Good- copy of King Comics #1 for $750 makes a lot more sense than a top of guide VF condition copy for only $750. aardvark88 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PDGray Posted August 16, 2022 Share Posted August 16, 2022 Just got this in yesterday. Does anyone have the original listing in that catalog?? I would love to see that just as a point of reference. PDG IngelsFan 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Especially since that's a pretty substantial difference in terms of their G+ or 2.5 raw grade as compared to the CGC 5.5 grade that it got in the end.

Actually, I bought it graded. No idea if was pressed or not, but I didn't pay much more than that original $70 for it. I figure the grading costs alone were worth what I bought it for. I like looking for and finding deals on pedigree books - so I kind of feel like this was a steal!

A definite steal if you was able to acquire a graded pedigree book for less than condition guide value. Especially since you have to factor in the cost for grading along with any other ancillary services. This book here would definitely go counter to the argument made by many that the Overstreet valuations tend to be understated as they are always so far behind the curve.

PDGray Posted August 17, 2022 Share Posted August 17, 2022 Does anyone know what city or state where this collection was found? I don't think I have read that information anywhere as of the moment. PDG Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
