I’m sorry Lou. I would have left this on the table had I known. Tell you what. For all your future Heritage winnings, since I live right here in dallas, you can count on me to go pick them up for you -
After paying 10 times Guide for a Matt Baker cover, I guess I need to add them to the list of things that are wrong with OPG. Yes, I love OPG, but OPG ain’t got no love for Matt Baker. I know his work is largely confined to romance and crime, so there’s never a story arc and never a super villain, but the better Baker covers always always always go for 10 x Guide. And I see no attempt in OPG to break out the books with Baker covers from the non-Bakers pickup from last night’s Heritage weekly:

Fischlers 6.0 has been for sale several months at $900k with no one yet stepping up https://www.comicconnect.com/item/863246

Woowoo, I may be a bit low. You’re probably right. We will see. your knowledge of my collection remains encyclopedic
-
I predict $130k
-
Wow, @Cat-Man_America, reading the obit makes me want to read the book. I can’t imagine there are too many copies left as pristine as yours. There’s a copy on Amazon for sale right now for $988!

Good eye dem1138. but something is amiss. It’s says “sale pending”

We don’t know who the cover artist is?

And let’s not forget it’s the Commando Cubs we are talking about here . . .

Me too. That’s an outstanding copy of a great book

Captain America Comics #1 Club
GreatCaesarsGhost replied to Wayne-Tec's topic in Golden Age Comic Books
Cap 1s have been all over the place of late. That said, I thought this was a special copy. As you correctly pointed out, the eye appeal is outstanding for the grade. I actually thought about taking a run at this myself, since I believe this book will continue to rise in the polls. $90k is a strong price for a 2.0, but not all 2.0s are created equal. The next one up may not have the eye appeal and could go for $75k. I would be interested in the thoughts of others, but I do my bid evaluation maybe more on eye appeal than on the grade. I think $90k was about right. -
Very strong prices. Personally, I view 38 as the day things started going sideways, but I know I'm a lone wolf crying in the wilderness
-
Gator, that's a cool memory. I'll bet most of the really great books have passed thru your hands at one time or another

Still bringing home the funny, are we?
-
Maybe. I thought about that. But I think it will always have a special wild card value due to it being used as an exhibit in the lawsuit between dc and fawcett
-
Oh, my apologies. I see it now. Actually, that WAS funny
-
I don’t think that’s right. The 2.0 Cap 1 final hammer, with BP, was $90k. The 2.5 Bat 1 was $102k. The 3.5 AA 16 was $72k (sorry, @Crowzilla. I totally missed the joke when I posted the above “correction”. My bad)
-
Strong price for Cap 1, weak price for Bat 1. All a function of eye appeal. Cap had the better of it

Must be showing my age. It was a saying in Ohio in the 60’s, meaning something is getting badly beaten. I haven’t used that expression in 30 years and have no idea why now. I’ll put it down to shock re: 50th OPG golden age ranking
-
The Tec 29 and 38 have been lively. And I love the Court copy of Action 7, but holy moly, the price! Bat 1 continues to make mincemeat out of AA16, and the 2.0 Cap 1 looks like it still has legs
