Thats easily a good smart buy. Cap 1 undervalued and very nice eye appeal

Yep. I remember watching the snorks and thinking of the similarities between them and the smurfs. Nice Wikipedia page on them: https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Snorks

1st Snorks, 1982 De Snorkels

recently purchased the 1st appearance of the snorks. will post a pic later tonight. they were similar to the smurfs and was on tv in the 80's

French version: No point on the back cover

Belgian version: Country name on front cover and points(which gets cut out; similar to marvel stamp on hulk 181) on the back cover

Have some more raw(not in pics) that I will be sending in for grading. As you can see, the recent batch as the label noting that there's 2 versions, one French the other Belgian but it doesn't distinguish which one is within the slab(cover gives it away)

nice, I missed this one, nice pickup!

That makes sense to me since the pool of buyers is greater at the “entry level”

A bit odd not to post a pic of the back cover especially at the offered price

Does this price per point business work? Looking at bat 1 gpa data it seems to show a pattern. I know it doesn’t work for silver age keys, for example af15. For golden age too many factors affecting price per point(Example page quality slightly tan) blue labels with glue notes.

A 1.0 blue label went for $50k, a pic of the book with the new owner was posted at one point somewhere here on the boards. An 0.5 missing the 2 centerfolds went for $30k

Obviously if I had the resources available, I would buy both. I see it as 1st Captain America vs 1st Joker.

I'm a cap 1 guy, it just means that cap 1 has more room to grow compared bat 1. i'm biased since I prefer cap 1 over bat 1

I have many wraps, in totality 2 married cap 1s (with covers of course)

I've been in the marrying market and the price fell in place

I would've bid on that it I had known about it. good price for the buyer

You still look at overstreet for prices for grails?

My list (if I won the lottery and had money to spend) 1. Action Comics 1 2. Detective comics 27 3. All star comics 8 4. Captain America comics 1 5. Batman 1 6. Superman 1 7. Flash comics 1 8. All American comics 16 9. Whiz comics #2 (#1) 10. marvel comics 1 (would rather have tec 31 or tec 38)

Bat 1 CGC 1.0 unrestored brittle vs Bat 1 CGC 1.5 qualified ow centerfold married. I say the qualified copy is more desireable. Surprised the 2 books are in the same auction, similar bidders

Nice looking cover

the AS8 cgc 1.5 ended at $16,800 on heritage. it's designated as brittle page quality but that's quite a pull-back when it was going for high 20k before the movie
