My list would be (off the top of my head), in CGC Universal 2.0 cream to off-white pages:

 

1) Action Comics #1

2) Detective Comics #27

3) Superman #1

4) All-American Comics #16

5) Batman #1

6) Marvel Comics #1

7) Action Comics #7

8) Captain America Comics #1

9) Detective Comics #31

10) Detective Comics #29

 

**Just listing superhero books here. I'm not familiar enough with Archie.

unfortunately aa16 would sell for less than many you have below it (see my list)

I fairly recently sold a cgc 3.5 for 25k...a 2.0 bat 1, cap1 etc would all easily beat aa16

I've learned not to argue with the Gator when it comes to the value of key books. I think he has bought and sold more of them than any single dealer over the past few years. Probably by a fairly wide margin

A 3.0 AA 16 sold last July for $17.9 K . An Archie 1 in 3.5 sold for $20.3 K in Feb 2012.

 

AA 16 may still be ahead by a nose, but I think the two lines are crossing. Looking out 5 to 10 years, I would much, much rather have an Archie 1 than an AA 16 in the same grade.

Which is what makes second-guessing him fun! :D

Why do you feel a All-American #16 CGC 1.0 with brittle pages sold for $11,250 while a Batman #1 qualified CGC 1.8 with OFF-WHITE pages sold for $10,050? (shrug)

Here's Ricks completed list...all in one listing :) notice 60% of the list has batman or supe in it :)

1) action 1

2) detective 27

3) superman 1

4) batman 1

5) captain America 1

6) pep 22

7) action 7

8) detective 31

9) marvel 1

10) all American 16

 

I will guess ricks back end 11-20 will include (not in value order):

-action 10

-action 13

-Tec 29

-Tec 33

-Tec 35

-Archie 1

-all star 8

-more fun 52

-adventure 40

-marvel mystery 9

 

I'm not so sure about ranking Marvel #1 and All-American #16 that low.

 

Are there any recent sales for Marvel #1 in CGC Universal low-grade? (shrug)

 

But as I mentioned in a prior post, compare the recent sales of Batman #1 (ranked #4) to All-American #16 (ranked #10).

 

A CGC qualified, unrestored Batman #1 in 1.8 with OFF-WHITE PAGES sold for $10,050:

 

http://www.comiclink.com/itemdetail.asp?back=%2Fitems%2Easp%3Fid%3D3852%26FROM%3D%26TO%3D&id=957645

 

A CGC universal, unrestored All-American #16 in 1.0 with BRITTLE PAGES sold for $11,250:

 

http://www.comiclink.com/itemdetail.asp?back=%2Fitems%2Easp%3Fid%3D3868%26FROM%3D%26TO%3D&id=961785

Whoever paid $11,250 for that All-American #16 with brittle pages most likely overpaid, possibly just wanting a copy - any copy - and being willing to overpay in order to not have to look for another one. I doubt that book will ever fetch that much again, if it ever gets re-sold.

I would actually take a restored copy over a copy with brittle pages

I respectfully disagree.

 

With only 19 universal CGC copies in existence, it's understandable to pay a premium on the very rare occasions a copy becomes available for sale.

 

Much like Whiz Comics #2, the lack of available copies (especially unrestored copies) can prevent the book from generating steam in the way Batman #1 has since it has a more regular opportunity to test the market.

What folks have to remember is one sale does not make the market. I have bought and sold dozens bat 1s and 11 aa16s in the past couple of years. That is what Allows me to make and give a more informed and accurate "opinion" , having multiple sales and An a more in depth understanding of the market for these type books. Not saying i am always right of course but i generally have more information from which to base my assessments (thumbs u

I respect your opinion big-time Rick, I wouldn't have first asked you the question if I didn't. My point in this case is that since AA #16 is so rare when it comes to CGC slabbed universal examples, it doesn't have the same opportunity to set precedents sales-wise. Years can go by before a copy in the same grade re-sells or sells again, where as Batman #1 can be found in many major auctions.

 

The 1.0 copy w/BRITTLE pages was the last public sale of a complete Universal copy and it sold strong at $11,250.

 

What is GPA for Batman #1 Universal w/BRITTLE pages? hm
