    Follow up to my above post; Book is now in hand after the signing (remained the same grade, which I'm happy for as I honestly expected a slight grade decrease) and looks aaammmaazzing in hand (no ugly color breaking creases or missing pieces, was only hit hard on grade due to stains that are only really obvious on the back cover). The inks really pop and the whites are nice and crisp.

    Not sure how long I'll hold onto it, but for now I'm all in the Usagi fan club (read a slew of his series before this arrived in order to properly catch up and appreciate it)

     

     

    That's right at my sweet spot - lower grade technically but looks great!  I'm still kicking myself for not trying to pick this one up ten years ago, but at that time, I thought the prices were too high.  How naive I was...

  2. Standard rules apply. No HOS or Pros.  I've been buying big books here for years but haven't sold yet; references include cbcnow, top city comics, and ankurj.

    For Sale is an Amazing Fantasy 15 CGC 2.5 C-OW.  It does have moderate restoration (C-3).  Details noted on the label are "color touch, pieces added, tear seals, reinforced, staples replaced".  Scans were just made last night, but I can take other pictures if desired.

    I'll accept Paypal, money order, and checks (will wait at least 2-3 weeks for it to clear before shipping). 

    USPS priority mail shipping is included in the price within the US. No international shipping for now (although if interested, PM me).

    No returns.

    Price: $10,000 shipped (or make an offer!)

    Let me know if I forgot anything!

    GPA quotes are frond upon by some members but blu 0.5-just under$3000 1.0-little over $4700 low grade purple  not really much recent data to get average

    And yet every low-grade copy I've seen in the last year that doesn't have a MAJOR defect goes for well over those numbers...

    Yeah, and in a complete brain fart, I forgot to bid until a couple hours after it ended.  The person that got it is on the boards here - lucky pickup!  I will continue looking for a copy under $5k...

    Does anyone have a guess as to what happened with this Hulk 1 on comicconnect?  http://www.comicconnect.com/bookDetail.php?id=709673

    It was up a few months ago and ended up going for $7-8k, if I recall properly.  Now it's back up with no indication that there was a previous sale.  I thought it was a really strong price, but maybe the buyer backed out?

    And I remembered two hours too late that I wanted to bid on this.  Went for a great price imo.  :facepalm:

  6. What's the PPP on this book these days (sorry in advance that I haven't renewed my GPA subscription yet)

     

    That's difficult to answer. Seems to be all over the place. In many of the lower grades (4.0 3.5 2.5 2.0) prices spiked last Summer and then took a serious nose dive (3.5 went for $6800 in Aug).

     

    Maybe $2500-$3500 a point (although 1.0s are going for $4500)

     

     

    That 3.5 sale in August seems to be an anomaly though. I can't find it to see there was any obvious flaw bringing down the sale price. Other grades have not taken a nose dive at all that I see.

  7. My AF15 retirement fund:

    I settled for the restored one, thinking it was the best looking AF15 I would find at an acceptable price right before the blue label one came up. I figured it should be pretty easy to move if I want, so what's the harm in having two? :)
