I will agree that a lot of the comic mags are hard to find in high grade

-heck I'm even having trouble finding some BRONZE age marvels (comic books-not mags) in high grade! i.e Night Nurse #1, Dead of Night #1, Dark Mansion #1

I did see a Gothic Romances #1 at 9.6 go for well over a grand-and yes-I did think it was worth it

I honestly don't collect nightmares at this time-so I really don't know..

I am right now starting with Marvels and will be working my way to other publishers in time...

actually right now you can get Savage Sword of Conan #1 CGC 9.4 for about $200-$225

thats a steal I think

that issue should increase in value when the comic mag collecting bug bites!

I know the money involved-recently I saw a Tales of Zombie #1 CGC 9.4 sell on ebay for $256.00 - a steal in my book-but I forgot to bid....

my loss is someone elses gain- I would of paid a lot more for it though....

I can only answer for me -

I would only buy a 9.4 on up mag from the early 70's

thats me personally-

right now I am trying to find Vampire Tales #1, Dracula Lives #1, and Rampaging Hulk #1

just my opinion-but I will say that I have seen a Creepy #1 in 9.2 sell for $199-I thought that was a good deal for both the buyer and seller

sorry to confuse you-

I collect both and just started collecting mags

yes-but how much is a true NM raw TOD #1?

$300?

$250?

I think you would be better off going for the slabbed issue-then when you decide to sell you can at least recoupe most of your money-if not make a profit-

I consider TOD #1 in 9.4 to be heavily undervalued-think about it-what other comic can you get $350 in 9.4 that help spawn Blade which spawned three Blade movies and also featured the first appearance of Dracula in Marvel comics?

Not to mention it ran for 70 great issues...

I mostly collect slabbed horror BRONZE age and mid silver comics-I like verything from horror to off the wall super hero

Spiderman is okay as are the X-Men, but they are not my favorite-I actually see them as over valued right now, where as an issue like The Cat #1 CGC 9.4 iws undervalued, if you understand my logic and reasoning

this thinking seems to work best for me

I do however, love Batman and think those comics in high guide are somewhat reasonable, but are heading up because of Batman Begins...

Hello there and thanks for the questions....

yes-I have found the market to be strong and really see no so called "crash" in sight-now onto your questions.

I have seen a slight difference in 9.2 to 9.4s (I am talking CGC graded comics of course) is it worth paying the premiums that exist on certain issues? That is up to the buyer-I do think in the long run it is!

One thing that I believe is only on some issues there is a premium for a 9.4-not on all-Tomb of Dracula #1 in CGC 9.4 at $350 is a steal in my opinion-its listed at guide in 9.2 at $220!

$199 for a Creepy #1 in 9.2-you did not over pay-thats about right...

Hello all,

I just started to collect CGC 9.4 + comic horror magazines...

I consider them very undervalued if you look at how many in high grade are out there...

I wish I would of remembered to bid on that 9.4 Tales of Zomibie #1 on ebay-it closed at $256.00

thats a steal in my book.....

I have Journey into Mystery #1 CGC 9.4 Northland and I think two others, but I have to check...

I have too many comics...

I am thinking of buying a Combat Kelly #1 CGC 9.4 Northland Pedigree for $100 as well-is this a good idea??

Hey guys,

I have a few slabbed books from the Northland Pedigree collection. Anyone know the history of this collection? If I'm going to own them, I would like to know its origin! Thanks again-guys!
