How many coverless books would sell for 1500.00 or more?

[The Black Hand ®]

We know that Pep 22 has and I'm sure that we can easily include the big five of Action 1, 'Tec 27, Superman and Batman 1 and Marvel Mystery1. I'm curious what else would and for the sake of argument, let us assume that there is not a cover waiting in the wings.Just a coverless.

[gilbertotorres]

how about detective 2?

Assuming decent page quality and no major tears, splits or spine roll - I'd say any comic worth $6000 or more in GD could possibly sell for $1500 coverless. I'll venture a Pep #22 coverless goes for that much because Archie is not on the cover, so a thrifty Archie fan can probably live with a coverless copy (or has that become a 6K book in GD already?). Conversely, I doubt a coverless Suspense #3 would be worth much at all relative to the cost of a complete low grade copy.

Good points! So a Pep 22 coverless is a good buy from a collectors standpoint and maybe even an investment standpoint.

I think you've nailed it.

I'm sure Marvel 1 would, not quite sure about the other two without a cover waiting in the wings.

Lets put it this way I would pay $1500.00 for a coverless MF 52. Everyone else

Then a MF52 is worth 1500.00 . I guess a lot of it depends on what you collect. I'm wondering though, if everyone who would bid on the Pep 22 is an actual Archie collector or if they see investment potential. Sounds like you are a More Fun collector, which is a great title.

I you are referring to this ebay auction? The seller had not a clue of what books he was selling. If I was up to me I would relist the item. I am currently watching it but I doubt I will bid anywhere near $1500.00. Rusted staples and not knowing the history of the book are a big turnoff.

The last CGC 2.0 on ebay sold for over $8K

[The Black Hand ®]

A coverless a few months ago went for 1500.00. I have no idea what this one will go for and yes the seller should have relisted it but it's already up to 800.00, so who knows.

Yow! So is this book now considered more valuable than Whiz #2(1)?

 

The big red cheese falls to the redheaded teenager.

 

What's driving Archie-mania? Just awareness of the character's longevity? It doesn't seem as if Archie has become any more (or less) popular in recent years.

There's about six of us who have been single handedly driving up the prices of Archies since around 1997.

And it seems like all six are board members

I'd guess a Suspense 3 coverless would sell for $1500 just for the centerfold alone.

Gotta figure a Cap #1 sells for $1500 as well.

Every time I read your subject line, "How many coverless books would sell for 1500.00 or more?", my mind replies "About 1500 books, I'd estimate."
