Griff

Considering a non-pedigree CGC 7.0 sold for $170 not long ago, I was thinking between 2X or 3X that.

nope

I wasn't even close

The Boy Comics 16 finished at $1,150 ! That's just flipping insane

Oh and grats to which ever one of you got it

This forum is sufficient to generate a lot of interest in a book. We've seen it happen before.

 

True enough. This thread motivated me to buy the Movie 1 from Metro. A post-camp book and no codes other than the "a" in the corner of the fc, but it did come with a COA from Alan Bahr.

 

 

Ive been looking at that book for a long time, I'm glad a boardy picked it up ! Grats Sqeggs

true that Cheetah, nothing special "to me" about a run of the mill Boy Comics #16

I was thinking the same thing. Between this book and Heritage's Zegra 3 that sold over guild this weekend as well. looks like both Camp Okajima's and Post Camp Okajima's are on the rise. Glad I've got the one I have. At those prices I don't think I will be adding to it anytime soon !

B-E-A-UTIFUL cover Straw-Man ! I love it !

oh and 420kid....

Thanks 420 ! I didn't have a pic of that book, Nor was it on the list ! made my day

with cheetah it's not an either or question... its a "I'll have both!"

Quoted for truth !

Oh and for what its worth im out on the Boy 16 Okajima as well. I have to much out on other "don winslow books" bids to take a chance on winning everything

its hard to beat a Church copy that's for sure

So you would rather have a higher graded copy than the pedigree copy of a book?.... hmm I think I might have a trade coming your way /wink

lets count..... you,me, miracle, 75 lurkers... yeah I think you wont see camp Okajima's cheap any time soon /wink

There are a very limited number of "camp Copy" Okajima's & these copies seem to be prized very highly. I am betting that book will hit 750 by the time the auction is over

Don't think I would kick her out of bed

Being a golden age fan, there is SOOOO much good stuff to turn to, Schomburgs, LB Coles. Nedor,Better, Standard Books, Jungle, Good Girl, ect, ect, ect. Unfortunantly I love almost all of it ! so I had to pair down my focus !

I decided to collect 1 Character and do that in 2 ways

Raw for reading

and pedigree for long term value. you can read about it here

nope

Pedigree status is acknowledged by CGC based on a combination of the following criteria:

•The collection must be original owner. This means that the books must have been bought off the newsstand as they came out. For example, a collector cannot buy a high-grade run of 1940s comics from various sources and expect it to be considered a pedigree. The original owner need not currently own the comics for the collection to be considered for pedigree status.

•The collection must be of vintage material. This means that a large collection consisting of comics from the 1970s to present cannot be considered a pedigree. In fact, until the sale of some key White Mountain books in a Sotheby’s auction in the early 1990s, Silver Age comics were not accepted as pedigree collections. Comic books from 1966 and after are relatively common in high grade compared to earlier issues. This occurred as a direct result of a tremendous explosion in the number of collectors in fandom in the mid-1960s. Collections that are primarily from 1966 and after must have average grades of at least 9.4 to be considered a pedigree.

•The collection must consist of a considerable number of comics. Most pedigree collections consist of at least 1,000 books and some number over 10,000 comics. The collections that consist of fewer books, such as the Allentown and Denver collections, must include extremely rare, important, and/or key material.

•The collection must be high-grade. Comics from the Silver Age in general would have to be 9.2 and higher, and a collection of exclusive Silver Age material must have an average grade of 9.4. Golden Age comics would have to be high-grade as well. For example, the Lost Valley collection consisted of many golden age books from before 1941 that were technically mid-grade, but were almost across the board the highest graded copy for that book. Page quality must be nice as well.

A boy, his dog and an A-Bomb doesn't get better than that

My Lost Valley copy of Crackajack Funnies 20 finally arrived today ! To bad I can't put it in the registry as they don't have a spot for Crackajack. But I'm pretty happy with it since its my very first Pre-WWII book

great stuff !
