I once owned the Chicago Mystic #9 in 9.4 Qualified with a centerfold detached I sold it at a premium through Heritage a few years ago in favor of my blue label 8.0.

Wondering now if I made the right choice... What do you guys prefer,,, a higher graded Qualified book or a 8.0 or 8.5 blue? Just wondered...

I'd rather have the Chicago. A loose centerfold doesn't bother me as much, and that book is gorgeous.

 

 

I'm with the geek on this one.

[font:Comic Sans MS]That's a very pretty copy of Cap #62, and one of the best Shore Cap covers! Congrats! :applause:

 

BTW, it's amazing how Timely predicted Amazons cutting edge influence over America. :grin:

 

I know this scan is awful, but here's my copy in the raw...[/font]

Nice copy David (thumbs u I agree that it's one of Shores best later Cap covers!! There's a "sweet spot" in the latter part of the Cap run where I REALLY dig the covers!! I guess the 60's numbering on out for the most part. They're actually affordable in grade too!! 2 to 3 k for high grade isn't too bad :screwy:

I loved this cover as a kid,,, most of my attraction to Timely covers came for me as a kid after having Steranko's history of the comics... I had never seen golden age covers before that... this one was one of my favorites.

In the days before CGC a loose centerfold was never that big a deal as a tear on a page was once considered more of a defect, now it's the opposite.. Also, staining or foxing came second to the structural integrity of a book i.e. tear or crease, now it's the opposite.. We used to grade on the aesthetics of a book, it's eye appeal i.e., gloss and color, the whiteness of a book over a loose centerfold, but now its all different. So I sold my 9.4 Chicago Mystic 9 green. Grading standards are no longer pluralistic

.I was just wondering how many of you out there would just rather have a 8.0 blue label with notes.. or a green 9.4 with notes? Which would command more value in the market?

It's hard to tell with this book as there isn't a lot of recent sales data on this one to go on but typically a green label = discount. I feel that when you spend thousands of dollars on a book that you have no choice but to factor in the investment aspect and I personally feel that the high end collector might be turned off by a green label and would rather have a lower but still high grade universal (like you in '05 for example?). Granted the comparison is a VF blue vs. a NM green but I feel the VF would be more desirable within the investment collector crowd although a loose centerfold would be mighty tempting for a possible re-attatchment and flip but that's another story. I think you made a good call. Here's my copy btw.
