All Top #8 + Rulah #17 - Anyone know the owners of these books?

[pennynike1]

All Top #8 CGC 8.0?

 

After at least two failed attempts to sell in on Heritage, it is now up on comiclink:

 

All Top Comics #8

 

Rulah #17 NM-

 

The book was up on Hakes.com in January of this year with no bids. It was listed as NM-, but probably overgraded.

 

Hake's - RULAH JUNGLE GODDESS #17 AUGUST 1948 FOX FEATURES SYNDICATE.

 

Any info would be appreciated.

I appreciate a GGA cover as much as the next guy, but those books are ridiculously over priced and I don't care what past sales might indicate.

I agree that both books are overpriced. Neither of them are worth the asking price, but I would purchase if the prices could be negotiated.

I would most definitely agree with you that the All-Top #8 is way overvalued in the guide. I simply can't believe that it's listed for $3,750 in top guide when I see copies of this book at most of the major conventions that I go to.

 

On the other hand, I haven't really been paying much attention to the asking or realized prices on this book in the marketplace. Just seems like a awful lot of money for the book to be guiding at when it's really a non-key common book with a nothing cover.

 

And that's coming from a guy who owns the Overstreet copy from way back when and can't even remember where this book is anymore.

I agree that the guide price for the All Top #8 (as are most of the All Tops) is quite high. I have followed past sales, especially on Heritage. The 8.0 "D Copy" sold for over guide (about $1800). Oddly, this particular issue has failed to sell at auction on Heritage on 3 straight occassions.

 

However, I don't know that I would classify a sexy/leggy winking Rulah cover as a "nothing cover." The issue at hand is tied as being the third highest graded issue, so I don't imagine you were seeing many issues of like grade at shows.
