folks paying BIG money bags for REPRINTS

There are so few Oct copies in existence (let alone coming to market in the past 15 years), I'd say the market for Nov copies would be just as high today for anyone looking for "a" copy as Rick mentioned.

Oh yah the all stars were poppin back in the day.

My experience with collectors that got into gold the past 5-10 years don't care much for comic history. These are the folks most likely into Cap 1s over Marvel 1s. They like what's popular and what they can flip. Oh wait, those are dealers The pre cgc, pre Gerber, pre Internet dinosaurs are into the history that Steranko and Olshevsky helped to share.

Floor price for an Oct or Nov copy?

CGC rules the roost.

Nearly 80 years later, and all the Timely veterans have been fooled into thinking the Nov copies were still legit first print runs. Even Olshevsky is disappointed I'm sure. Fire all those OSPG advisors too ? ... The next Oct copy that comes to market will explode

That's a crummy 2nd print you have there buddy

Now we have some sensible discussion going on.

Good point Ameri. That is quite a strong statement to say that the NOV copies are reprints ---considering Goodman printed out a second run in a matter of one week because the book sold out in the test market areas. It's still 8-31-39 (OCT) and Sept 1939 (NOV). If Goodman had printed 80,000 copies of Cap 1 and released them on 12-20-40 and they all sold out in a week prompting him to run another 800k copies, would that be considered a reprint? I would say no. Would the veterans and other comic historians in this hobby who have collected Timelys or GA for 20+ years consider MC1, Supe 1, and Bat 1s all reprints? If so, the FMV value of all these books suggests otherwise. When I think reprint, I think of the Marvel GRR of 1966--- altered cover art, original ads omitted, original price label taken off, new price, and published with a vinyl record 2-5 years later with purpose of connecting those that may have missed the originals.

4.0

apparent 7.0 range.

4.5

More than you would be willing to pay

Still no bids on this nice 4.0 copy http://www.comiclink.com/itemdetail.asp?id=1187040

all the pre-40 and 1940 Timelys are the best of the Goodman era in it's infancy....

I'm a historian of the hobby and I read tons of research articles and publications...

more than that if you win all the books you "must" have

yup, 12-20-40 was the release date...imagine that rolled up in your Christmas stocking.

I saw it. They didn't show 2-6 well enough, but they showed Paul giving his assessment (6.0) on the Hulk 1...the owner said he found them in a garbage can in the back of a restaurant...?

Ray has his own personal thread. #boss

Private sales and offers are in the $34k-$37k pp for low grade.

MC1 is still the bigger/more important book, but Cap 1 is more popular and expensive these days.
