ender Posted April 7, 2017 Share Posted April 7, 2017 (edited) Don't think this is a grail but it is a GA first appearance, Coverless and beat up but still enjoy having it Adventure Comics 48. Edited April 7, 2017 by ender Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ender Posted April 7, 2017 Share Posted April 7, 2017 Also not a grail but the opening splash with the Spectre I always thought was really cool. This is a More Fun 59 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ender Posted April 7, 2017 Share Posted April 7, 2017 (edited) This one I think is closer to grail quality. Marvel Mystery Comics 5. Hard to find, first Schomberg cover, does it still count as a grail if the cover was the part that made it classic and the cover is gone?? I like it regardless .

skypinkblu Posted April 7, 2017 Share Posted April 7, 2017 Really nice books, and you can READ them all, too:) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ender Posted April 7, 2017 Share Posted April 7, 2017 This is one where i like the splash more than the cover. Not saying I would turn down a cover bough if anyone has an extra just sort of sitting there gathering dust. Sub-Mariner Comics 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ender Posted April 7, 2017 Share Posted April 7, 2017 OK this one, legit grail by just about anyone's definition, scarce, Gerber 7, All-American Comics 16. Also anyone want to chime in about ideas of value? Very few sold, could not find record of a Coverless ever selling but I am sure a few have. A beat Coverless All Star 8 sold a little while back for just under $10,0000 and the book has traditionally been much more expensive. Don't know if that means anything today though. Any help is sure welcome. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

skypinkblu Posted April 7, 2017 Share Posted April 7, 2017 @ender Since I was taught by 2 of the top "bottom feeders" when I first learned about GA books, it was always a rule of thumb that a coverless book was worth about 20 - 25% of good, unless it was a Timely, then about 50%. Stuff changes a lot, but I'm sure one of the professionals (dealers) can help more:) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well, you don't have to worry about restoration so much, as long as you know the books are complete and that's pretty easy if you count the pages. Do you have a copy of this? https://www.twomorrows.com/alterego/media/Golden Age Index.pdf I find it very helpful for page counts. They only have superheroes listed though.

I could find out I suppose by throwing it in an auction and seeing what the market will do with it but then.....I don't have it any more! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
