? re Pep 22 innards

[moloch]

Is there an FFE equivalant to Pep 22?

 

Saw this on eBay and it might be my only chance at owning a copy of this book in the foreseeable future.

 

Also, is there any general formula for figuring a reasonable coverless price? 25% of Good? 10%?

The Archie story has been reprinted a number of times. The rest of the issue has not. You can get scans on CD from Shield's website www.goldcomics.com

 

As to price, a very low grade copy with (most of) a cover sold on ebay for $4K+ a little while ago. So the answer is probably less than that. The opening bid is nearly 50% of Guide 2.0...

[moloch]

Thanks.

 

The pages on this seem pretty nice. I'm wondering though what the likelyhood of finding a nice looking with maybe a missing centerfold or some other interior defect at a decent price is, so I could marry the cover with these pages. Pretty slim I'd imagine.

Why don't you just email Matt Nelson to see if he can recreate front/back covers complete with interior ads married to a coverless for $150? He offers that service for other GA keys like Bat #1.

Not a bad idea - thanks!

 

 

Didn't know that was a service he had.

[143ksk]

Well, the answer is 100+% of Guide good. Which is about 20% of the actual value in 2.0

[moloch]

Yep, decided not to bid after all and will probably be kicking myself a year or two from now...

Who was the -1 bidder who drove the price up?

[143ksk]

No, but they really weren't a factor in the final price, so...

 

I thought $1500 was about right for the book.

[ashrael]

Wow, I was surprised by the final price. I guess I shouldn't be though.

 

I have never seen a -1 bidder before. Why bother even keeping that eBay account because no one will ever sell you anything.

[ft88]

Overstreet really needs to relook the key Archie prices.

[Kakapo]

Considering that the last Good copy on ebay went for 8k+, and a copy with "most of a cover" for 4k+, 1500 really isn't that bad.

 

At least as far as I'm concerned.

It was a decent copy, especially if someone had a cover. The PQ looked really good. Let's face it, Archie is right up there with Superman and Batman in the collective consciousness of the american people. He's a lot more important than most give him credit for.

That's a good thing

I have the CD which includes Pep #22, and the quality is pretty good. Well worth the $10.00 if you want to see what the book looks like, and as a bonus you also get issues 23-26 (the entire disc includes issues 14-26)... or if you want it on DVD you can get Pep 1-65 on a single DVD for $45.00.

[lotemo]

A Pep 22 cover sold sometime in the past year or two in the $700-800 range.

 

Don't know if the buyer was the same as the buyer of this. Does anyone remember?

[The Black Hand ®]

I don't think it was the same buyer, but It would be really cool if they could meet.

[Kakapo]

It was definitively not the same buyer. Fun though it would be to combine cover and innards, wouldn't the staple holes be in slightly different places?

It wouldn't matter all that much and they might match. If they didn't, a restorer could do some incredibly slight tweaking to make it so.
