Graded GA Archie Comics in Short Supply

[Holmes]

That's what I'm here for citizen !

The interesting thing to me (and it helps show that these prices aren't total flukes due to a 2 person bidder's war) is that 48, 49 and 50 all have at least 3 bidders near the top.

[Holmes]

Yes those seem to be THE key issues. The others are pretty far behind.

well I'm glad I picked up my 8.0 before this craziness started!!

[Holmes]

I do wish these auctions were speaced out a bit more. There is hardly enough time to move a bid on one if I lose on the other.

Well half the fun is the HUNT. If I don't get my books today I WILL get them at some point down the line!! Gotta love this hobby. I remember when I was young enough to spend this kind of dough on girls

well you're still spending it on girls, there just drawn on the cover of a funny book now..

The funny thing is I bought it and a huge stack of similarly nice Archies at the Chicago ComiCon and when I got home I discovered I had accidently bought 2 copies of #50.

 

And before anyone asks I traded the other copy away years ago.

[Holmes]

And THESE girls don't give you a hard time when you take them home!!!

 

Seriously I am so happy to see these books get some long overdue attention. This hobby has so much more texture than just superheroes. And that comes from a guy who's avatar is George Reeves Superman!

What do you guys think of that #44 in 6.0?

[143ksk]

What do you guys think of that #44 in 6.0?

 

It looks like a pretty nice copy, but I don't think I'd pay an arm and a leg for it. I think once you get to the 7.0 or better range you're in the relatively HG region for Archies of this vintage. 6.0 is probably something you can find raw for less.

[143ksk]

What do you guys think about the Qualified books?

 

I think someone should have done a page count before subbing them to CGC

 

 

 

 

[143ksk]

Agreed! Montana was, IMO THE Golden Age GGA.

 

Do you have the Archie Complete Dailies 1946-48 book? I've been reading it and it's just awesome--great Montana work

[Holmes]

No I don't but I will certainly go looking for it!
