I recently heard and read it sold on comic link in their May auction last month. What a bronze age high end sale!!!(applause).

That used to be my book! I sold it raw for $1386 in March, 2000. That is the book show in last year's (?) Overstreet. Came from here:

How could 35-cent price variants go anywhere but up?

How could 35-cent price variants go anywhere but up?

 

shhhhhhhhh

 

especially now that they are in the registry sets.

 

I need to finish my set quick.

[canickus]

Hmmmm....just thinking about the price....

 

Only 59 Star Wars 1 35 centers certified....

 

 

X-Men price variants are in the X-Men registry sets

 

12 X-Men 105s certified

8 X-Men 106s certified

8 X-Men 107s certified

 

The 30 cent variants (98, 99, and 100) are also in the set.

 

That bronze-age run is gonna be real tough to complete. High-grade on those books is a book that is complete with a universal label.

 

Prediction: The combination of an updated registry set of extremely rare books smack dab in the middle of the key bronze-age comic book series is going to continue to put price pressure on the price variant books.

I just discovered that I have a Star Wars #1 35C variant. It's certainly not in mint condition, but it is in good condition. I got it when I was a kid and it's been in a box with other Star Wars (and Beetle Bailey??) comics ever since. I got it near Ephrata, PA which I guess maybe was part of Philadelphia run? Could it really be worth $5K+? Is it worth it to send it to CGC to get it graded? And if so, do I need to find a comic shop that's a member? I'm confused about the process. Any other info would be helpful. Thanks!!

I'd definitely get it slabbed. You can submit the book yourself after you fill out your invoice online. The submission center on this website will give you all the details. Best of luck. Post a scan of it here when you get a shot.

Donut that freaking sweet. I wanted to bid all out on that one book because I love variants and odd books like that but went for lesser valued books to add to my collection. Plus Sheild might needed it more then me (thumbs u and put me in the poor house.

[SolitaireOne]

Yeah, that letter is pretty sweet!

 

[bronzilla]

You still have that letter dont you DONUT?

That in my opinion is cooler than the comic itself!

I wonder how much that letter would go for at auction. Get it CGCed and I bet it goes for more then that Green Lanturn #76 did.
