Superman 1 Centerfold and Info Requested
Joseph Ragno replied to Captain Canuck's topic in Golden Age Comic Books
A restored 7.0 Sup 1 recently went for $66k. A few years ago a restored 3.5 went for $45.6k. If you are doing this for "money", are you sure all this is worth pursuing? What restored grade do you ultimately think you'll get? -

Superman 1 Centerfold and Info Requested
Joseph Ragno replied to Captain Canuck's topic in Golden Age Comic Books
There will be a premium for that page. I have no idea how long it will take, or what the dollar premium will be. Perhaps you will be the one that answers this question for us all. Nice problem to have. As far as the centerfold goes, I think it would normally go for about $5k at auction. But that would be to a collector just for sake for owning the centerfold. For the person looking to complete a book, it would be worth more. This is likely why the seller is not putting the centerfold up for auction. He wants (your) premium dollar. Good luck -
Superman 1 Centerfold and Info Requested
Joseph Ragno replied to Captain Canuck's topic in Golden Age Comic Books
I don't know that it would reach more than $5k at an auction, but... There's a coverless, centerfold missing Sup 1 on sale by My Comic Shop for about $40k, and that one clearly shows the back page ad version "On sale June 2", and not the later printings depicting "on sale now" An otherwise complete coverless Sup 1 sold for $55k about 2 years ago. Who knows how the values of the 2 different back page variants will play out in the future. -

The famous Batman slapping Robin panel. Note that in this panel, it's Robin telling Batman to come to his senses. Typically, the meme is flipped. Robin would say something stupid, then Batman slaps him with his left hand and says something to correct Robin.

Punisher fans, let’s see them favorites..💀
Joseph Ragno replied to nepatkm's topic in Copper Age Comic Books
I rarely go for bronze or copper age collectibles, but this is one I wanted to pursue. I understand the glamour of ASM 129, but for me the ultimate moment in the Punisher storyline is the execution of his family. It's not in ASM 129, and you can't see it from the encapsulation of an entire comic. So I paged out MP2, and I'm able to display these 2 fantastic collectibles. -

In Praise of Single Pages
Joseph Ragno replied to GreatCaesarsGhost's topic in Golden Age Comic Books
What I see is a chance to own one of the best pages, from one of the best Golden Age comic books, with the first image of perhaps the finest villain in the history of comics, in rare supply, for a bargain price. -
In Praise of Single Pages
Joseph Ragno replied to GreatCaesarsGhost's topic in Golden Age Comic Books
Looks like there's a piece of page 3 (?) attached to the back of the page. Not sure this is a problem. Other than some tears, I fear I may be missing the problem you are asking about. -
Brittle Pages? How Bad Is It? Is It a Dealbreaker?
Joseph Ragno replied to Dr. Balls's topic in Golden Age Comic Books
One of my keepers is brittle. I would think this would be a problem if you were keeping a raw book with intention of leafing through it. Most of the time with a graded book, brittle pages will be on a lower grade, encased in an envelope, then encapsulated, without intention of it being further handled. Not a problem for me.
