PGM Rawhide Kid #50

[Filter81]

Two part question. What would this book grade at and what would it be worth? Should I send it to CGC or not worth it?

 

Thanks!

Kid Colt vs. The Rawhide Kid?! Now that is a great landmark, 50th issue!

 

Now, it's a bit hard to tell, being such a light-colored cover, but that copy looks absolutely HG! Unless I'm missing something major, it appears to be an easy 9.4 (or better), I recon... yeee-Haw! (thumbs u

 

Golly, what a great, esoteric example from that title... I'd think that it would certainly be worth having graded.

I was thinking 9.4 too. Incredible copy.

 

Is there a slight crease by the Kid's ear in the upper left corner? If so that might drop it to 9.2.

 

Definitely worth grading.

[nochips]

Yes, grade it, worth some crazy money in 9.4....

[CAP Freak]

9.4 Awesome book.

[tsarax]

9.4 for me too. I'm sure a good copy to slab.

9.4

thanks everyone. I was having a tough time deciding between 9.4/9.6. So 9.4 it is! I think this one is probably the highest graded nonCGCed book I own. Looks great in person. Very white cover and very white pages!

What a great cover!!!! 9.4

At least a 9.4, I think this issue (#50) was a werehouse find. There seemed to be a ton of high grade copies of this book on the market all of a sudden a few years back. Think twice before slabbing as i think most people who collect this title already have this issue. I picked up a sweet copy during the glut. Now issues from #17 - 29 are always worth slabbing!!! Have any from 18-29 your looking to sell?

Other issues around these issues have 2 to 3 total copies graded. The 50 has 54 higher grade copies graded. I dont think there are that many Rawhide Kid collectors out there....Dont Slab Yours!!!!

Absolutely correct. About 3 years ago, someone trotted out almost all the 9.8s and most of the 9.6s. I think I paid $45-$55 for my 9.6. Here is the census:

 

Yes, this does say 17 9.8s!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Thanks for the heads up! A little disappointing but better to find out before sending to CGC!

 

I'll check on the #18-#29. I have about 1000 mid to high grade silver age books I'm going to be putting up for sale this week. I haven't finished getting through all the "R"s yet. There are at least a few other Rawhide kid comics in 9.0+ but I'm not sure how early. I hope to be done organizing/grading/scanning by Wednesday or so.
