Popular Post skypinkblu Posted March 15, 2018 Popular Post Share Posted March 15, 2018 I know I've mentioned this a few times, WW 6 was the last book I needed to complete the series. Same thing for GAtor. There are more copies around now, but still hard to find. Sensation 6 was the last book I needed to complete the Sensation series. Same with GAtor. Those 6's are tough;) I don't know why, but I don't have a scan of my Sensation 6. Probably because it's in a huge slab. sacentaur, Larryw7, Mr.TawkyTawny and 3 others 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SuperBird Posted March 15, 2018 Share Posted March 15, 2018 I guess I continually underestimate the appeal of 1st villain appearances.... (still looking for an Action 23 to complete my run, as evidence) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

One book i constantly regret selling years ago (and my WW 98's -i used to own two copies ) Well with the announcement of Cheetah appearing in WW 2 , this one will continue to climb. Great book Sharon Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
skypinkblu Posted March 15, 2018 Share Posted March 15, 2018 Thanks, Corey Although it's nice if it goes up, I have no interest in selling it, so it doesn't matter all that much;) sagii and Yellow Kid 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post Timely Posted March 15, 2018 Popular Post Share Posted March 15, 2018 I had the MH copy of both Sensation #6 & WW #6. I bought the WW #6 out of a Comic Book Marketplace ad for $990 when guide was $330 (I also bought the WW #10 for the same price). duplicatecomics, badback83, SuperBird and 3 others 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sagii Posted March 15, 2018 Share Posted March 15, 2018 (edited) Finally found pics of my old copies of the two 6's. Bought them both on separate occasions from the old NY Big Apple comic cons that used to be held at a large Church. Got them graded and thought i would never sell them, Wonder Woman and Captain Marvel were my favorite super heroes to collect at that time (then i 'discoverd' MLJ, Ace and other esoterics and sold them off). Bonus pic, my old Whiz 22 (do you own it now @G.A.tor )? If memory serves me right, i sent it to a winner on eBay in Florida a ways back. Still, wish now i held onto them, Oh well...

gadzukes Posted March 16, 2018 Share Posted March 16, 2018 The Hakes auction AS8 coverless missing CF went for nearly $4500. Any thoughts on that price? I think they could have possibly made more using CC or CL. https://www.hakes.com/Auction/ItemDetail/220400/ALL-STAR-COMICS-8-DECEMBER-1941-JANUARY-1942-CGC-NG-FIRST-WONDER-WOMAN Full disclosure: (I was interested in this auction because I have an AS8 coverless missing the OW and wanted to get an idea of pricing) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've been getting 10-12k a point for sensation 1 for over a year. Only one ugly 3.0 had sold for 18k but the market had been 10+ for a while. WW 1 has been 7-8k The Sensation 1 8.5 OW in the CC auction went for $153k, or about $18k per point. I thought that was rather impressive given that some mid-grade AS8 books have fetched more in the $15k range (just based off of the 6.5 in GPA that sold for $93k in Feb and a few examples from 2017). Is it because it's a top 7 highest graded census book, or is it driven by the fact that there aren't any readily available for sale on the major sites? Like many other books, seems the market is really on fire right now for WW keys. I was a bit surprised by the hammer price on this one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think there was a premium price per point because it was very high grade for a book that’s pretty rare. IMO mid grade would still hammer way lower price per point Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I keep looking for an upgrade, but I seem to give up before I win;) I've been outbid on a couple of these lately. Double whammy of both WW and Hitler covers heating up.

Sqeggs Posted March 26, 2018 Share Posted March 26, 2018 I assume "all the time" includes 1957! At any rate, I really like the cover, even though I'm not much of a WW collector. A little backstory on this copy: A boardie asked me about it, so I pulled it out and found that it was in an old new slab -- the ones with no inner well. And, sure enough, it suffered from the rippling those slabs cause. I notified CGC and they took it back, pressed out the ripples, and sent it back to me in about three weeks, gratis.
