sacentaur Posted February 20, 2016 Share Posted February 20, 2016 Billy, that presents phenomenally well (especially for a black cover!) frontally for a 6.0. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Straw-Man Posted February 22, 2016 Author Share Posted February 22, 2016 i have lots of crowley copy/file copy books, but no simple "file copy" fawcetts without the stamp. thought this was cool, and kinda something new for my ped type-set.

I've never seen a a more beautiful CGC 6.0 than your copy. Congrats!! One of the great GA comics. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stevenrams Posted February 23, 2016 Share Posted February 23, 2016 Here's my only file copy. Has nice PQ. Later issues of the title are hard to find from my experience. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
50YrsCollctngCmcs Posted April 4, 2016 Share Posted April 4, 2016 Thanks to Sharon for selling me this beauty on the boards. It arrived Saturday and I read it this morning. Seven complete stories in this book and Captain Marvel leading off with a great yarn battling Sivana. I've wanted an early Whiz for sometime and this one really fit the bill; only problem is that I think they are addicting. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
roscoPcoltrane Posted April 5, 2016 Share Posted April 5, 2016 Hey guys...would one of you mind explaining the difference between a crowley copy and a crowley copy/file copy? I just signed up on the GPA site to look up a couple of my books and I see 2 different types listed on this particular book. I'm guessing the file copy (mine)..was kept in house and never hit the stands . Is there a difference in value between the two types ? Thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nearmint Posted April 5, 2016 Share Posted April 5, 2016 The file copies have a large ink stamp on the front cover which scares away some buyers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks here's a plain ol' crowley [no stamp]. here's a crowley file copy. and a fawcett file copy, with no mention of wendell and no stamp. and a crowley book from a non-fawcett publisher.

roscoPcoltrane Posted April 5, 2016 Share Posted April 5, 2016 ...kk...thanks...so it's a big old stamp on my cover that says it's the one and not the other. And this stamp can be a "blemish" for some collectors otherwise there's no real difference in value..just preference ? Some collectors want a 9.x while some want the 9.x, but with perfect wrap or WP instead of OW ? I'll take pic and try and load it in a few minutes...because I just looked up this book after I stumbled on this thread last night and had to join the GPA site to get an idea . I found mention of there possibly being no higher grade but it's only a 9.2 so unlikely and I think the post was 2004. Either way, its not an expensive book by any means, I just thought it would be cool to have something at the top of its grade for once (considering some of the collections I've seen in here ) Thanks for everyone's help...

CrocHntr Posted April 5, 2016 Share Posted April 5, 2016 Personally, I like the "checking copy" stamps and think it adds something to the uniqueness of the book. I would probably pay a very small premium for file copies with the stamp, but I imagine I'm in the minority. I think it's a matter of preference, and the stamp probably does turn off some folks. Still, it's a great looking book and the stamp really shouldn't impact the overall value by much, if any. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BTW - It is still tied with 2 other books for highest CGC graded at 9.2. No telling if there are any nicer raw copies out there, but your is still top of the census.

roscoPcoltrane Posted April 5, 2016 Share Posted April 5, 2016 Thanks CROC...I'm psyched...but I see STRAW-MAN's point...it is a pretty big stamp. Now I just have to sell my house and buy the highest graded Captain A #1 ..well, may have to sell my wife too. Again, appreciate the help...never knew what the stamp was ...I actually bought it in 08 (I think) because of the stamp...figured it meant something ...oh well...at least the 9.2 means something .
