JIM 83

2.5 (R)

$2250

Spine reinforced some, a little CT, top left corner rebuilt. 

what do you mean by CT? Could you send me some more pics please?

The economy is going to slow down and people are being more cautious. My prediction is that there won’t be a big upswing in comics this year like the last 6 years. Sure certain books will spike with movies but not all characters will catch on (there’s soooo many now) and the ones that do won’t see sustained gains. At some point the speculators that bought on credit will start offloading and undercutting and the prices will drop. All depends on how severe the recession is in regards to how quickly the market will bounce back. Marvel movies and their popularity won’t go anywhere and escapism is a hot commodity during a recession so I don’t see this recession as a “world killer” for comics (I think that’s from Armageddon lol).Anyway good time to buy bad time to sell. Or so says my crystal ball

Anyone watching the BK 5.0’s on offer on eBay for $4000 USD? Anyone think they will sell for close to that? It’s a tough book to value do to rarity and some up and down sales on gpa - do you think $4000 is a fair value for a 5.0?

Finally found myself a copy - happy to be part of another rare club - this and my BK1 are my two books I’ll never part with. I just think what people have said in this thread are completely accurate - this is the action comics 1 of war comics and it’s a key that consistently sees gains in a land where every other book needs a movie or media gimmick to push it - sgt rock doesn’t need any of that - it’s a true grail and will continue to be one into the future - in fact it might be one of the last major silver age key issues that remains untouched by media.

It's hard to say -- as you say, prices are all over the place.  I am happy to share that I won my CGC 6.5 OW/W copy for $1,899 at the August 29 ComicLink auction.  Relative to the asking prices you will see on eBay, this is an absolute steal -- I've seen people asking for more than double what I paid -- but I would think auctions tend to provide the clearest indication of the true market for a particular book.

Anyway, I hope this helps you!

Thanks man yeah I watched your book on comic link - great deal sir! I think we won’t have a clear indicator until eternals comes out and we see a few sales but my feeling is it’s a long term hold - with its rarity I honestly value it at being more than a lot of top 20 silver age marvel books - a lot of people probably don’t agree but if a black knight movie comes out of eternals there’s only 40 people (or fewer depending on people’s stash) that own a CGC graded copy and I have a feeling that the Rawls that are out there are only going to populate the lower segment grade wise of the census. Time will tell but I’m very happy to have my copy.

Got my raw copy graded - pretty happy with the results - this one stays firmly in the PC

 

What do you guys think the fair market value of my book is? It’s so hard to judge given its rarity and fluctuating sales data.

I’ll just leave this here

Sold for 750.  Still a decent price, but quite a drop from the last sale.

I couldn’t see it on any of my eBay searches so that probably hurt it’s final sale value - I’m in Canada so that probably had something to do with it - I’ve put my 3.5 up to test the market - let you guys know if I have any bites 

Sending one off to get graded soon

What do you think a CGC 5.0 would sell for? 

Well the one that recently sold on eBay for 1300 was probably no better than a 2.0 so I would guess $4000 or more - if there’s a black knight announcement for the mcu than more given there’s like 40ish in the census

I think I remember a 3.5 going for 1100 a few months ago, and a 4.5 restored went for 400ish.  I'd he surprised if this finishes under 450.

That copy on eBay just ended at $1313!!!!

A really rough looking copy of the first issue just showed up on the bay.  Been watching for a bit, first one I've seen for sale in a while.  

Watching it too - should be interesting to see what it goes for

I found a #3, plus...a slight upgrade to #1:

 

 

Nice upgrade and great collection 

This thread inspired me to add a second copy to my collection- it’s just such a unique legacy character first Appearance- atlas, 1955, Stan Lee story, awesome cover, multiple first Appearances (the sword, Morgan le fay, the black knight) and extremely low supply. If there was ever a confirmation of a black knight in the mcu, even if it were Dane (doubt it will be sir Percy), this book is set for explosive growth. 

Great topic - I’ve noticed the same thing - the Zatanna issue certainly plays a factor but I would agree it’s a vastly undervalued awesome run along with the B&B issues. 

I believe this is a grossly overlooked key - which makes it a great time to buy

Hello and good luck with your sale Since you are new member I recommend you read the sales guidelines  specifically return policy should be stated and requesting PayPal friends and family is prohibited on the boards 

Thanks for the note 

$1500 - Price in Canadian Dollars - shipping included - first person to pm me “I’ll take it” gets it.

So what does the news around Fox accepting the Disney deal do to the prices of our FF48’s? They already got a huge increase off the original news months ago - does that repeat or it it moderate gains?

Zatanna

I'm surprised to see the census this strong. More high grade copies than I would have thought. I never see them in the wild and they rarely come up for auction, though I think that will change shortly.

 

That’s still a super low number census
