Restored Superman 2-30

[ft88]

I have some superman up for sale right now 2 4 6 8 14 and 15 that have been restored. I just bought an entire run from 2-100 and 163-284 so if you need any issues I will be selling them in the next few weeks on ebay or privately.

I live in the Baltimore area and travel to Manhatten so let me know if you want to see any in person.

You too can do restoration detection! Spot the piece added!

[ft88]

I was going to sell it as unrestored since the piece added is so bad, but I'll save that for comic-keys. Find the color touch on #14 and you win a prize

Nice books. Do u have any early resto Actions or Detectives for sale at this time?

[ft88]

Nope just Supermans. I did send in some that I thought were not restored and they should return in a few weeks.

Here are my guesses as to where the CT could be...

 

[g-man]

do you have a #199 in high grade?

[supapimp]

nice books, i never notice the guns on the superman 14 cover in the black.

[ft88]

The 199 is about a F or F/VF but I don't have it in front of me. BTW I am asking for guide on anything F/VF or less, though the restored issues are tougher to price. I usually price them as "what they would have been without restoration plus the $$ it took to do the restoration." Or somewhere in between.

"Plenty Good Fun Shootem Target You Betcham"? I think that the guy who wrote that copy was just fired by the New York Mets.

What about anything greater than F/VF?

 

Thanks,

Guide for issues post 100. Though I don't have any 12 cent NM issues. Issues pre 100 it depends on paper quality and whether or not I want to keep it in my collection.

It's hard to tell from a straight on scan.. but here are my guesses.

 

[ft88]

The staples are correct but the rest are all at the tiny tears at the 3 edges. Also on the back cover you can see the black part near the spine has also been touched.

[rob_react]

how were my guesses?

[ft88]

Also, for those of you reading this the guy from whom I bought the collection also has Superman #1 VG restored, (cleaned, pressed, sealed, staples, centerfold married) as well as New York Worlds Fair #1 VG Amateur color touches along spine Worlds best #1 corner repaired and other minor resto and a Superboy # 1 in 9.0 white pages with 2 tiny tear seals on the back cover.

 

Give me a best estimate of value? I offered 10k for the Sup#1 and he was asking 20 so we never went any further. He wants 2500 for the Sboy 1 and 4000 for the NY Fair 1.

 

Any takers here.

I got a Supes 1 in Apparent 5.0 for about $18.5K in trade stuff. But I am pretty sure a Supes 1 in Apparent 5.0 sold on Heritage for 8K.

 

I wouldn't give more that 1000 for the Superboy 1.
