Allentown Detective 38 coming up on Heritage?

[batman_fan]

Anyone know who bought this? I thought it was Roberts? Just saw it on Heritage's upcoming items.

eric has an ow paged 8.0 in his collection, according to his site

[batman_fan]

last time it sold was for over $126k. wonder what price it will get now? It is actually one of the better copies I have seen for registration, not perfect but much nicer than most copies.

[esquirecomics]

It used to belong to Parrino.

[shiverbones]

It's not a pre-robin tec, so it won't do well at all...

[ciorac]

It used to belong to Parrino.

 

Then by all rights this copy should belong to me next! Our names both start with P and have seven letters, three of which are vowels. And, people often misspell my name with a double consonant .

 

Now, if I only had the money.....

Ahh, it's nice to see and remember that wild price speculation isn't just limited to today and Action #1.

 

[G.A.tor]

and don't forget the cgc 1.5 tec 27 that is on there too...that should set a new price record, I would think

[action1kid]

I just really always loved the Allentowns.You think this book can pull a profit off its last record sale price in this economy?

Those shadows on the BC bother anyone besides me? On a 9.4. I would expect near perfection.

[Silver Surfer]

Ultra common GA book showcasing one of the worst side kicks in comic history and essentally signaling the demise of the glorious "pre-Robin Tec's".

Last month I posted some obtrusive FC dust shadows on a 9.6 so that's not at all out of line with how CGC grades. I much prefer when they have the dust shadow on the BC and it's a 9.4 than when it's on the FC.

But they have been all over the map when it comes to stuff like this. As always I wish they were more consistent when it comes to defects like this. I thought the Larsen More Fun #54 or (Nova Scotia copy?) was hammered because of dust shadow and they look like 9.4's.
