Is buying a front cover worth it?

[gnat1000]

As some of you have read, I found a coverless 1939 worlds fair comic this weekend. I found a user that has an original front cover only. Would this be worth it?

P.S : I'm leaning toward a big no right now

How much does the seller want for the front cover?

[jimjum12]

If you can get it for 50 bucks or less...it IS a nice cover and it would increase the saleability of your copy.GOD BLESS...

Is it possible that that's the ACTUAL front cover of your book? I.E. The missing front cover?

 

Have you compared the staple placements?

Excellent question.

That would be cool.

$375 for the cover sounds a little high. What condition is it?

[Schmakt]

yeah... $375 sounds brutal... especially since you'd still be missing the back. Sure would be nice to have a cover tho!

[Gone Phishin']

if 375 is the price, than hell no!!

Depending on the condition of the FC I would say $50-100 sounds fair.

 

Question I have is, is the interior missing an outerwrap wrap or two? The bottom corner has what looks to be 2 still attached corners of different art. Hard to tell from the scan.

 

I would post this is the GA forum, you will get a much more well rounded consensus as to what it is worth and what a FC cover should sell for.

I highly doubt it's the same cover since I found the comic in georgia and the cover is in NY

[Gone Phishin']

I would definitely pass. If you copy was meant to be married, it will happen soon enough..

gnat,

 

Do you know what the 1939 back cover is supposed to look like?

[Sardo Numspar]

I say buy it (thumbs u

[CAP Freak]

How about asking Fedoraman to make you one for $20?

[Green]

I say buy it (thumbs u

who can argue with flave?

[PokerKid]

It's a cool cover and might make it easier to sell the book, however I don't know that it will add to the profitability of the book. It might raise it by the amount the cover costs, but when all done, you are left with a very cool very low grade copy.

 

A 1.8 graded copy sold for just under $1,000 in May. Your copy would likely sell for substantially less. I say buy the cover if you are keeping it and want to show it off. If you are planning on selling it, don't put the money at risk.

 

I can also say, Sardo knows a heck of a lot more than me.

[Ze-man]

Yeah, but I heard Sardos mattress is stuffed with 100 dollar bills, so his opinion doesn't count!

 

And he wants Jeffs notebook too!

 

 

[The Question?]

 

Nope...unless you sell it, and disclose it!
