This thread needs a bump and I saw this over on the restoration thread so I thought I'd post it here. If you've never seen the magic that Zeman can perform on a comic with leafcasting here it is on the 1st wrap of an Archie 1. Archie 1 outer wrap.

That is a total scream. And scary, when you think of how many of these may be actually out there for any post-1975 issue. We all know there are many copies of the first printing of this book out there, and I would venture to say that this applies to all of the Death of Superman x-over issues (MOS 19, Superman 74,75 & Action 684 and JLA 69 to name a few). This eBAY sale is merely confirmation of that fact and I hope that the buyer has enough sense to avoid flooding the market with CGC 9.8 copies. That being said, I don't see why MOS 18 first printing is any more than a $100 book in CGC 9.8 due to plentiful supply, unless demand really spikes due to the Superman/Batman movie. There are a LOT of CGC 9.8 copies for sale right now on eBAY and most are NOT going to sell at their current listed prices. So how many 9.8s do you suppose are in an uncirculated box of 300? 100? How many 9.9s? A couple?

If a person is going to collect these Doomsday related Superman comics, what's the run down of "must have" in order of importance? Value-wise is MOS 18 at the top, then MOS 17? And is the 1st printing the most valuable of each one? Or is it the last printing?

It looks faded at first glance, but then if you look at the guy on the left... he is bright green in the correct version but bright blue in the weird version. I'm not sure that fading changes bright green into bright blue. I'm going to vote misprint

When did coverless AF15s start going for $1725? I just saw this completed auction on ebay and couldn't believe it. http://www.ebay.com/itm/Original-Coverless-Amazing-Fantasy-15-1st-app-of-Spider-man-Stan-Lee-Ditko-/201042236774?_trksid=p2047675.l2557&ssPageName=STRK%3AMEWAX%3AIT&nma=true&si=5U%252BiEBQMiJD158snrCYzLctCHUU%253D&orig_cvip=true&rt=nc It doesn't seem like that long ago you could get them for under $1k I guess I've been living in a cave.

Now we know what an original art page from Archie 1 goes for. $13,145 I bid about half of that knowing I would be outbid, but still hoping there was a chance I could snag it. It was really difficult to know how high this was going to go since there aren't really any comps for a piece like this. Here's the link to the auction: http://comics.ha.com/c/item.zx?saleNo=7087&lotNo=92162&lotIdNo=11007&domain=all A Pep 27 original art page (predates Archie 1) went for $8664 http://comics.ha.com/c/item.zx?saleNo=7087&lotNo=92161&lotIdNo=11008&domain=all What do you think of these prices?

$16,730 for the Archie 1 2.0 on Heritage. I guess that fits right in with what these have been going for. It reinforces the strong prices instead of making any of them look like an aberration. I remember it was only something like 3 years ago when there were virtually no sales records of Archie 1s so it was really hard to pin point value. The grades are starting to fill out now on GPA. This was the 1st 2.0 that GPA has recorded.

Fixed that for you. You're lucky.... I have to say, "I look forward to the day when my $8000 purchase is selling for $100k."

That is my thought. I don't have #50 yet but I'm not even going to waste my time on that one since my offer would be less than half of what he's got it listed at.

They're the numbers from the Dharma hatch.

Hey, I gave up on this show awhile back, but tonight i decided to watch it...... I loved it. Kept my interest through the whole episode. The Deathlok reveal at the end was awesome. I might have to go back a watch a few episodes.

Still no graded 5s in the club.

jealous. wish I had a 5

nice copy Point Five!

Updated club census. You can always look back at page 1 to see the club members & census at any time but I thought I'd show it here too as a bump to the thread.

Welcome to the club Cosmic Farmboy

what grade is the 1 on Ha

You missed my 3 and 6. I have a 50, but I need to scan it. I'm jealous of your #3. Half a grade higher than mine. Mine might present a little better but it's got stains.

I've always thought that covers have more value than complete coverless copies.

Fantastic #9 Andrew, I wonder what grade this would pull. The CGC census shows an 8.0 as the highest and then a 6.5 as second highest. You think this would fall between those two?

GoldenPRguy, So when an Archie enthusiast shows up needing a cover for his coverless Archie 7... who wins, you or him?

you are SO right! My folks still live in NM and they get really upset when they see Saguaros associated with newMexico. Thanks goodness Breaking Bad didn't ever make that mistake.
