There have been 3 major trading card 3 party grading companies for well over 10 years, none of them have ever merged or been bought out. I don't see that happening with comics either. Hell PGX is still grading books for people. As long as a company has fans and capital they will continue, I think both the comics grading companies now have booth. I don't think they will ever merge into one. I also don't think comic collecting will vanish. People still collect 100 year old baseball cards and more people consider that a dead sport and business. Dime novels don't have the character recognition that comics do that is a primary reason why comics will never fade. People still come into my show and ask for Duck books, these characters wont' just fade... James G

Seeing as i collect cards and comics a few observations. beckett grades cards, they also sell there own cards through ebay i think and a card auction house. they are in Texas they have now bought a comic grading company and i would expect them to sell that brand as well. how this is not a conflict of interest is beyond me, but as has been said in this thread there are seversl people that have there toes dipped into both sides of the game. James G

Zanga Sorry all gone. James G

I think this is a good idea as well. I generally find that covers are rarely brittle. I think the biggest issue is with Slightly Brittle, what does that mean. I am not sure it is needed on the label as it may get a little busy but in the notes for sure. As has been said above these books are getting super expensive and there could be a huge dollar difference between SB and B. All that being said I think your still going to have an issue with two books being brittle and one looking fine and the other have chips in the holder. I looked at a major key GA book at NYCC and the pages were labeled as cream to off white, they clearly were not with missing chips visible from the back and weakness to the top right corner.... James G

Is the spine intact or is in trimmed off. Its hard to tell from your pictures but if its trimmed it would be a restored .5, otherwise maybe a 1.5, but rarely are bound books not trimmed. Colors are great. James G

27 33 38 29 31 35 28 36 37 30 32 34 I think you could interchange 33 and 38 James G

Detached Cover, colors are great on it tho... James G

Considering i am a golden age collector and i don't think i have ever tried to sell a modern age book on the boards you most certainly have me confused with someone else. I do not sell moderns and i hate retailer incentive . I also dont talk down on things and i was just voicing my opinion about it,which I don't think was done in a disparaging way. your trying to be far to the owner of this color guide but your disparaging me in the process. I dont think that is right or fair. feel free to check my ebay id which is jgallo and you will see plenty of golden age books.

My points were from a value standpoint. If this was the inked line art and not a color guide we would be having a difference discussion. My point is that the person who did the art/coloring directly coroalates to its value. So a piece done by Shuster would have more appeal and more value then an outsourced colorest. As for who did the coloring if they were all outsourced at the time then i would agree with you but to me there is a difference between someone in house at DC verse someone at a random printing company or in China doing the work. James G

Yes i am aware of all that but as far as i know nothing was done by Shuster who is the artist on the cover. And i am aware it was done by a colorist who would later be employed by dc but it was outsourced at the time. Maybe its semantics but to me all that matters. I am not saying its not a historical piece or not cool i am just saying all things being equal I would rather have the comic. James G

Umm not sure what the heck you are talking about with your sandman 17 comments above. I think you have me mixed up with someone else. the fact is the piece is small in size smaller then a golden age comic and that is far less appealing to me. Much like large art brings more i think this would be far more appealing if it was full size and done by the cover artist as opposed to an out sourced color seperator. I highly doubt my meager opinion is going to impact the sale price one way or the other but this whole board is made up of people expressing there opinions so not sure why your calling me out.....??? James G

I personally don't find this an appealing item. It is small with a "story" behind it. I am not disputing the story in anyway. Regardless of the historical importance I don't think this will even sniff the price of a coverless cover. I think 20-30K will be the ending range. James G

Why you got one, LMK I am interested... James G

Looking for the following Detective 26 cover Detective 66 centerfold or complete coverless Action 20 I need the back cover but will take an incomplete copy Thanks James G

I have a lot of experience with pieces as I collect parts and have bought and sold tons of parts to a lot of keys especially Batman 1. I bought an incomplete batman 1 with the wraps intact, I had CGC grade the wraps and did not split it into single pages. This is the only way to do it as it maintains a usable part that can still be married into a book. I would never part out a complete coverless book and I would never split intact parts just to make more money. That being said some people would rather own a piece of something they would not otherwise be able to afford, others would rather go without. As for that coverless incomplete Detective 27, I bought it from comic connect years ago for like 1200, sold it to carbo for like 3700 which I thought was nuts at the time. I believe it has since moved around a lot but at one time I think it did sell for like 25K which I find insane since none of the desired parts are there. What do none Superman Action 1 pages sell for, to me those just have no interest much like this Detective 27 had no long term interest to me. Complete coverless books are great but the big keys even the Silver Age ones are getting expensive even coverless. James G

Moving these to ebay tonight....

Bump feel free to hit me up with offers..
