Was that the last DC Title to have a #1 on the cover until the 60's?

gotcha, so that's a 6.0 for 5700 not a 5.0 for 4k?  

Yeah I had that one wrong (I didn't bid on it...so it was difficult to find the listing again...)

Famous Funnies #210 (1954) CGC 2.5 Frank Frazetta cover! in Comic Books > Golden Age (1938-55)

US$930.75

It looks like they had all of these books posted at a fixed price on the site then when they didn't sell conducted an auction. Generally I don't find books I like on Hipcomic (a lot of garbage and overpriced books...but this one auction had some pretty solid books in it.)

https://www.hipcomic.com/listing/famous-funnies-214-1954-cgc-60-white-pages-frank-frazetta-cover/14631716

Sorry for the delay...here were the listings. I actually bid on 210 but didn't win. I believe this site is legit but have never successfully won an auction on here before. Its pretty impossible to navigate but I saw an ad on CGC for this auction and was surprised by the quality of books. Not sure even if you are a dealer why you wouldn't go to one of the big three with these books...but I see dumb stuff like this all the time. That is why it pays to check other sites out...

I bid on a CGC 2.5 #210 last weekend on a HipComic auction and it only went for $799. Seems low compared to slightly better books that sold in January for significantly more. But not low enough that I was going to bite on it. A 5.0 214 went for close to $4K which is significantly below a similar copy from Feb 2023 but still on par or above prices from 3 or 4 years ago. A lot of books in this auction underperformed so some of it may have been the venue. But probably some price deflation here as well.

Approved Comics #11 Classic Matt Baker Flamethrower CVR CGC 2.0 $SOLD Firm CGC# 3929632005 

Hi Everyone- have a couple of books that I am listing today including a classic Matt Baker Flamethrower to the Face CVR. Here are the rules: 

• Paypal only
• No international
• Shipping is $15 dollars 
• No returns
• No HOS 
• First , wins

Up first is Flash Comics #95 CGC 3.5 #3929632004. A great black cvr that is hard to find in good shape. I felt they were a little harsh with the grading of this one but I am sure a resubmit with a press and clean would result in a much better grade.... $closed

It went for cheap. But also factor in that if you noticed that no centerfold pages of Action Comics 1 have been on the gpa nor to sold since no graded. 

 

The only centerfold that sold i know of is 38k  in 2018!!   So add and 40k to 126k  

166k  is what a coverless copy should shell for.   Still sold for cheap since it has pieces of the original cover. I think buyers would like to see the page quality,stains etc. Have a that repro cover with the superman pieces wasnt the best idea.

 

Complete coverless that presents well:

Tec 27 150k  cream off white

Action 1  175k   cream off white 

 

 

Would it make more sense at that price point (126K) to just hack apart the book and grade the pages indvidually? If you have two pages that are going to sell for over $100K combined plus a min of 2-3K each for the remaining pages (more for Zatara/Supes pages) .... I mean I would never do that as it just seems fundamentally wrong but from fiscal perspective it makes a lot more sense. 

I loved his work on Legion and Justice League. While he could always take things a little too far and some of his work was not to my liking (Trencher-anything in that style), overall he created some great books that could be both grim and humerous at a time when comics were taking themselves way too seriously. Whenever I see a James Gunn or Taika Waititi production, the humor (and absurd violence) reminds me of Keith's late 80's/early 90's comics. I own several of his pages from the 5 Yr Later Run of Legion that I treasure including one on my wall. RIP Keith!    

This is a great run to complete. I pulled it together in the late 80's/early 90's and sold my last DP a couple of years ago (#99). At the time I was probably too young to appreciate the Morrison books (though I loved Animal Man). One of these days I will go through and read the whole run, as I too love the show (which feels like a greatest hits of the comics).   

Bump...Going to close and move to Ebay next week if no interest. 

A nice book featuring the only appearance of the Villainy Inc. (GA Wonder Woman villain group) and a good final chapter in the classic GA Wonder Woman run. $dollars + shipping.  

• Paypal only
• No international
• Shipping is $15 dollars 
• No returns
• No HOS 
• First , does.

These look like the starter copies of these two books that I bought long long ago (from a bookstore no less). I never upgraded unfortunately as my interest shifted (Selling my low grade early Marvel collection to complete runs of 60's Atom and Hawkman doesn't look like such a good idea 30 years later!).

That's one of the best LSH keys! 

It really is. I would consider it #2 behind 247 of course. When I first tried to put together a run of Adventure/LSH years ago, this was the hardest book for me to find in decent grade. #267 seemed to be relatively common compared to it.
