Did anyone see the tease for next week's new American Pickers episode? They did a full five minute tease last night where Mike and Frank found a guy with a (seemingly) beautiful AF 15, and an also nice Superman #9? The guys call one of their friends (dealer from I forget where) to get an idea of value. I know grading from some brief TV shots is far less than accurate, but the Supes looked like an easy 6.0 to me with potential to be higher. The AF looked way better...maybe an 8.0 or even higher? No chipping, no noticeable creasing at all, great color. The expert on the phone estimated $850 for the Supes, and $40-50K for the AF. Both seemed low to me, but again, I don't have a great feel for grades...just guesses.
The guys apparently don't know much about comics, because the owner wanted $10K for the AF before they talked to the expert on the phone. I was thinking to myself, YES. That was pretty much the end of the tease. It airs Monday night. I know I saw an ASM 1 sitting in the background at one point. There were also comic boxes all around (most that could be seen had things other than comics in them). I just don't see the guys come across comics very often. It will be interesting to see what they give for it.
