path4play Posted September 12, 2019 Author Share Posted September 12, 2019 (edited) Oh man. @lou_fine - note to self: don't start a Pedigree thread right before your planning to bid on a book in said Pedigree lol. Thankfully, still tagged it for just less than the 2012 price (but still considerably higher than the one I posted to start this thread...). Does Plastic Man have a pulse?

Definitely wouldn't if I had been truly interested in either of those 2 Big Apple books. As I had alluded to, those 2 covers didn't really get my juices pumping, although that Wings 69 does look quite tempting at this price point. Better to save up my nickels and dimes though for a cover I really want though. Of course, it's always a case of to each, their own and congrats on your pickup of Plastic Man at what is assuredly a steal of a price. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Other than first appearance of Phantom Lady in Police Comics #1 - I don't think there is anything driving any price appreciation for ole Plas, albeit there is some movie speculation from D.C. believe it or not. Its actually pretty good/wild art and stories, quite popular in fact back in the day. What's not to like about a high grade pedigreed GA superhero.

I believe you are pretty much bang on here since I seem to have noticed that prices for Police Comics have really shot up over the past couple of years or so, especially when you compare it to how moribund it had appeared to be for awhile there. In fact, you could almost say that Police Comics #1 appears to be getting a bit of a fire lit underneath it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Does Plastic Man have a pulse? my old book. just to let you know--it wasn't pressed before being put in the new holder; it arrived at auction with a big crack in the plastic, and a mere reholdering was done.

Straw-Man Posted September 13, 2019 Share Posted September 13, 2019 my two, one being silver. being a ped-junkie, i've noticed over the years that, oddly, the old/gold b.a.'s generally have better pq than the silver specimens. lots of c/ow [and plain ol' cream--see below] and even l. tan in the latter group. adamstrange 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PDGray Posted May 26, 2023 Share Posted May 26, 2023 Looking at a few Big Apple books. How much of a premium should I realistically expect to pay for one these days? PDG Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
