Is this a copy of yours? If so, then CONGRATS! 1 hour ago, GreatCaesarsGhost said: Well, good luck in your collecting. It had always been my impression that Captain Marvel books had a lot of demand. It's better for you if there's not, so I'm hoping not. The keys have demand, special covers too, WWII stuff as well. But the bulk does not. I rarely spend more than guide and more often than not spend less than guide. Here's an example from stuff I bid on at Heritage, the Fawcett book was the one with the least bidders and that 8.0 from 1949 sold for half of what a 6.5 Detective Comics from 1950 sold for.

Robot Man Posted August 24, 2020 Share Posted August 24, 2020 Yep, not only is that Marty’s book but he got it cheap...a dime! William-James88 and Marty Mann 1 1 Link to post Share on other sites
Professor Chaos Posted August 26, 2020 Share Posted August 26, 2020 (edited) Good topic. Another good example happened tonight: https://www.comicconnect.com/item/883710 Captain Marvel Jr. 4 9.0. The sole 2nd highest graded example out of 24 Blue's and I think its just as nice as the 9.2 that last sold in 2006 for 1,314.00, which has a big ol ink stamp on the cover. It got no last minute activity. I almost bid on it but didn't pull the trigger, had 1,550 entered and all. I think the buyer got a pretty good deal.

William-James88 Posted September 4, 2020 Author Share Posted September 4, 2020 Here's another super cheap one and I write it here because this was procured out in the open on e-bay where anyone else could have gotten it. Shipping was free and someone was accepting offers on this good looking Master Comics 49, a WWII era book with a Raboy cover. Guide price is slightly over $200 (grading this conservatively) and I got it for just slightly over $100, so basically half off guide. https://www.ebay.ca/itm/Master-Comics-Issue-49-April-1944/233138077326?ssPageName=STRK%3AMEBIDX%3AIT&_trksid=p2057872.m2749.l2649 Marty Mann and waaaghboss 2 Link to post Share on other sites
William-James88 Posted September 21, 2020 Author Share Posted September 21, 2020 Maybe Fawcetts are finally going up. Captain Marvel Adventures 2 and 3 in 1.5 hit some high prices in the recent Heritage Auction. Maybe more will come out of the woodwork. https://comics.ha.com/itm/golden-age-1938-1955-/superhero/captain-marvel-adventures-2-fawcett-publications-1941-condition-fr-gd/a/122038-15109.s?ic2=mybidspage-lotlinks-12202013&tab=MyBids-101116 https://comics.ha.com/itm/golden-age-1938-1955-/superhero/captain-marvel-adventures-3-fawcett-publications-1941-condition-fr-gd-metallic-silver-ink-lightning-bolt-cover/a/122038-15110.s?ic16=ViewItem-BrowseTabs-Auction-Archive-MyBids-101116 Link to post Share on other sites

William-James88 Posted November 9, 2020 Author Share Posted November 9, 2020 Seems like things may be changing. Heritage had an auction last night and some books went for crazy money (comparing to previous sales and GPA). Master Comics 48 in GD+ raw went for over $200 https://comics.ha.com/itm/golden-age-1938-1955-/superhero/master-comics-48-fawcett-publications-1944-condition-gd-/a/122045-13302.s?ic2=mybidspage-lotlinks-12202013&tab=MyBids-101116 By comparison, I had purchased the same issue as a slabbed 3.5 a few month ago on comiclink for less than $100 https://comiclink.com/Auctions/item.asp?back=%2FComicTrack%2FAuctions%2Fbids.asp%3Fpg%3D2&id=1394448 Master Comics 25 in GD+ went for over $400 (highest price ever achieved for that grade) https://comics.ha.com/itm/golden-age-1938-1955-/superhero/master-comics-25-fawcett-publications-1942-condition-gd-/a/122045-13300.s?ic2=mybidspage-lotlinks-12202013&tab=MyBids-101116 The craziest one though is a Master Comics 41 VG that is trimmed and sold for a whopping $312, so double guide and higher than the GPA on non trimmed https://comics.ha.com/itm/golden-age-1938-1955-/superhero/master-comics-41-fawcett-publications-1943-condition-apparent-vg/a/122045-13301.s?ic2=mybidspage-lotlinks-12202013&tab=MyBids-101116 It could be people didn't realize it was trimmed and bid on the fly, don't know. Other really high new records are for early Master Comics which include #8 and #18 in VG- for $840 and $600 respectively. https://comics.ha.com/itm/golden-age-1938-1955-/superhero/master-comics-8-fawcett-publications-1940-condition-vg-/a/122045-13296.s?ic2=mybidspage-lotlinks-12202013&tab=MyBids-101116 https://comics.ha.com/itm/golden-age-1938-1955-/superhero/master-comics-18-fawcett-publications-1941-condition-vg-/a/122045-13297.s?ic2=mybidspage-lotlinks-12202013&tab=MyBids-101116 Courageous Cat 1 Link to post Share on other sites
