EERIE #1 (Warren) - what is fair market value?

[jjonahjameson1]

HIya, folks:

 

I've got an Eerie #1 (Warren ashcan) in VF+ condition. It is a 1st print, and is Russ Heaths' personal copy. Russ was kind enough to provide me with a letter of provenance stating that it was his copy, given to him by Jim Warren. Russ also signed and dated the letter, and illustrated a nice little Sgt Rock head sketch on the letter.

 

This is the second time I've owned a 1st printing. My previous copy had provenance from Bob Overstreet & Sotheby's, but I sold it several years ago.

 

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

If you've already owned & sold a legit copy, you probably have a better idea of FMV than any of us schlubs here, even if it was 4 years ago.

HIya, Keith:

 

Unfortunately, I don't think that's the situation. I sold my previous copy approximately 5 years ago and then got out of comics to focus on collecting original art. So, I am unfamiliar with today's current magazine marketplace and hence, corresponding prices.

Well...I think what Keith was getting at is...That book rarely pops up for sale, let alone in HG. So...The last one that you sold...Is probably a pretty good representation of it's value plus a bit.

 

The funny thing is we are probably more in the dark about it's value than ya

 

What did you get for it 5 years ago?

I got $713 for it when it was listed in Overstreet at around $250 for NM 9.4.

I sold mine for $50 in 1975, paid $8 for it in 1970.

Scans?

Scans?

 

Nope. I won't be posting any scans of the mag or Russ' letter...wayyyyy too easy to lift and way too many unscrupulous people out there.
