    ASM 300 Appreciation/ Club Thread

    in Copper Age Comic Books

    Posted

    So I have a funny story about this and how I got it this book today.  I recently purchased some silver keys from a lcs (x-men 1, ff 48,49, and 52).  I knew I was not going to keep FF 48 AND 49. I was going to either sell them or trade them for a GSX 1.  So there was someone who wanted both books and wanted more pics of issue 49. So I happily obliged and sent him more photos. Once I opened the book to take more photos there was color bleed on the inside cover.  Freaking amateur color touch!  So I  still sent the pictures and we both agreed to back out of deal.  I sent the photos of the color bleed to the owner of the shop and he made nice  with a full refund or swap for something different. So this is what I chose. I wish he had a GSX 1 but he didn't and this book just popped out.  I definitely learned a lesson in this experience and I will also keep a black light in my truck. I will also continue to support the lcs. It was a honest oversight.

    Advice for new owner of AF 15

    My condolences to you and your family.  I would insure it, clean it, press it and have it graded even if you are going to keep it or sell it.  The longer you have that book out of a slab the greater chance you have of damaging it. If you get it graded there will be no questions about the grade and condition. You remove all guessing. Just my opinion. I wish you the best of luck.

    He told me that book was 9.8 and his bud wanted Todd to sign it and he never got it graded.  He was going to send it in to cbcs.

    It’s a pretty hot book now - I’d say somewhere between $6-9 G’s from a 3.5-5 but vary 

    check out go collect - they are fairy accurate with present FMV

    https://comics.gocollect.com/guide/view/124354

     

    According to that guide this should be $5,500.  You are right they are hot right now.  I will have to keep my eyes open.
