I've bought a few items from them before through their Ebay store. Lots of listings and good service. All BINs, I believe. Here's a link http://www.ebaystores.com/Eides-Entertainment-Comics/Golden-Age-1938-1955-/_i.html?_fsub=4560744015&_sid=5686305&_trksid=p4634.c0.m322

Well a slabbed 4.0 sold in April of last year for $299. Not much other recent data outside of the HA link I provided but that is an 8.0. I still think it subbed under a comic tier and not a mag.

Here you go, Bob - GRR = Gold Reading Room - link to the thread below https://www.cgccomics.com/boards/topic/409392-the-gold-reading-room/

Oh, Rick's book.

That is what I was thinking as far as it is in a comic slab. I just didn't know if that is the book @the blob is talking about. Here is one of my comics encapped in a mag holder so it does look a lot different. I have a handful CGC had to do this way and while I know it is the best way encap it, I dislike because I can't keep the title run together in the same box.

I've had comics put in mag slabs because their width and length do fit in a comic slab. CGC did not change/charge me differently for this. The thickness did not matter. But without knowing much about the book, I looked it up and it actually titled Archie Giant Series Magazine #2. So Magazine is in the title but I still think it depends on the dimensions. Is this the book? What are the dimensions?

Hi Rick What do you think it may go for and any idea which auction house (assuming it will be for auction)? I am just wondering if I can recover in time to bid from selling a kidney and/or if I need to throw in a lung to have enough cheddar be a player.

Thanks for your efforts, Paul Lots of hard work!

@Scrooge Those are great, Michael.

Yes lots of inspiration, shall we say... I have seen lots of them across the FH titles (same publisher between the comics and pulps). I would like to put together a reference. I think it would be cool to own the pulps and comics of similar or swiped covers. The pulp below is not mine, btw.

sorry. Don't mind me, carry on.

If this helps, here is a write-up about their auction during the summer of 2012, It shows the highlights which of course leads off with the CA 1. I copied and pasted below and provided the link. https://www.prweb.com/releases/cgc-comics/09/prweb9941782.htm NORTH BERGEN, NJ (PRWEB) SEPTEMBER 26, 2012 Sparkle City Comics just wrapped up their latest big auction event, “Fall into Fandom”. This auction ended on Sunday evening, September 23rd, 2012 and resulted in many record prices. The auction showcased comics from all eras but the majority of the comics were from the desirable Golden Age period, 1936 to 1955. Bidding was intense with well over 6,000 bids placed on 216 items. This auction has further cemented Sparkle City’s position as the leading vintage comic seller on EBAY with over $4,500,000 sold in no reserve auctions over the past 12 months. Auction Highlights Included: Captain America Comics #1 CGC 6.5 $71,100 (GPA record breaking price) Action Comics #10 CGC 3.0 Court Copy $45,200 (GPA record breaking price) Captain America Comics #23 CGC 9.2 $13,107 (GPA record breaking price) Wonder Woman #1 CGC 3.0 $5,215 (GPA record breaking price) Detective Comics #3 CGC 1.8 $3,700 (GPA record breaking price) There were many of other record-breaking prices set including: Sub-Mariner Comics #11 CGC 6.5 $5,600 USA Comics #5 CGC 6.5 $5,239 Captain America Comics #50 CGC 9.0 $4,062 USA Comics #4 CGC 9.0 $4,050 All-Select Comics #2 CGC 6.5 $4,038 Zip Comics #22 CGC 5.0 $3,200 New Comics #8 CGC 6.5 $1,953 Ghost Comics #6 CGC 8.5 $1,550 Fighting Yank #12 CGC 6.5 $1,136

I agree, Dale. I was pointing out how difficult a poll would be because there are so many different opinions of when an era begins and ends. And also if it is okay to post an occasional outlier, what is the number that one can post. I am a big fan of yours, especially your service and organization. I personally am not averse to some outliers but if it gets to be a lot for my personal preference, I would most likely stop perusing the sales thread. It is just such a nebulous and personal preference area, it makes it difficult with the tools offered here (and that is not a knock on CGC as they offer a marketplace at no cost and no fees). So with all that said, I don't have an answer and I certainly wouldn't want to try to form a poll.

Dang it, now where did I put the key to my time machine

I know it is subjective and matter of contention but I like having specific dates as cut-offs. When I load my scans on MySlabbedComics, I categorize my books as 1970-1980 for BA and 1980 and up for CA and eras after that. My SA starts with the CCA so what is that, 1957? GA is anything before CCA. But that is just me and it makes it a lot simpler for me to sort my slabs by just looking at the date or if the CCA is present. Then I assume we need to determine for raws, is it on sale date or cover date In any event, I personally do not mind an occasional one or twoer outliers but I also understand where do you draw the line. I look only in the GA/SA/BA sales forum as I only collect GA books and really don't waste my time with wading through other eras mixed in. I like democracy so a poll is great but formulating it may be difficult. Is it as simple can a seller have outliers (eras) in the sales but determining what the number is (if folks think that is okay) is maze-like. Also, determining break-out dates for the eras has been fodder of threads here since I joined over 11 years ago and from what I have searched well before that.

Bob I think it is a subjective call and possibly based on the significance. Here is one of mine and though notated still received a blue label of 2.5. I assume the holes although through the hole book would still be regarded as slight but I am not certain. 3

No kidding. Now I'd have to give some thought to trading a kidney and/or other organ for some cool GA books. Wonder if the going rate for a lung would get me a Captain America 1

@SDComicCollector (Michael) is great from communication to superb and quick delivery. And he is a heck of a nice guy😃

I had heard that, Jack. Think I read it in either a CBM or Alter-Ego. I believe it was in that same article they talked about the detail on his suit jacket. I saw your copy earlier - it really is a great cover but your Punch 12 is

I'm in

Maybe it's enhanced but this Planet pops
