GI Combat #87 up on Heritage....7.0 third nicest copy?

[Ghoti]

Are these Early Haunted tank issues that scarce in high grade or is this just a non grade comic in general? Is it a good investment?

Every war and western from 1958-1962 is INCREDIBLY rare in high grade, following the trend of comics from that time period in general. That includes DC, Marvel, Charlton, etc. They are far, far more rare in high grade than their superhero counterparts.

 

Is it a good investment...? Good question.

GREAT cover on the 87!!

All tough in high grade (8.0) and higher. The book is nice because it's a 7.0, nice because it's the 1st Haunted Tank, nice because of the classic cover. Is it a good investment? I'd be happy to tell you but unfortunately my crystal ball is in the shop this week.

Agreed!

Is it a good investment?

 

Talking in general about copies of GIC 87, I would say yes, solid investment.

Talking specifically about this 7.0 copy? All depends on how much you buy it for and how long you're willing to hold on to it.

I'm guessing this copy is gonna go for BIG bucks.

Already pricey. (thumbs u

[Ghoti]

What do you guys think it will end up at? The 8.0 was about 2800.00 and that was awhile ago. Heritage looks a little soft based on yesterdays results.... thoughts?

[thirdgreenham]

$1100-1300

[Hedge]

$1100-1300

6.5 sold on CLink for $1150 a while back. I'm thinking $1200-$1500

[bigfiver69]

Great book, but $1500 strikes me as a lot of dough. Granted, I expect that it will sell that high.

 

[thirdgreenham]

so my bid for $800 won't hold up?

[Ghoti]

So, there is no chance I will walk with it under 1100?

Not with my bid of $801

 

Actually if I was bidding (I'm Not) I would put down $1200 and I feel I still would not be secure...

Ah, Ghoti, Ghoti, Ghoti....didn't you read how we said it was a bad investment?

That book is at 1700.00 with BP. Guess 110.00 is out...

[thirdgreenham]

Just checked it about a minute after you. Yes, $1792.50 and counting....

 

My $800 didn't last, nor did Hedge's $801, your $1100, or kagemusha7s $1500. Who's buying this book? Does bedrock have the war bug?

never looked at the book, just focused on the label.
