Fight Comics 31

[TheShadowKnows]

I was looking throught the Gerber guide and saw the cover for Fight Comics 31.I had two questions about this book.

Is it just the cool cover thing or is it really that scarce.

Also what does it generally sell for?Double guide?Triple?

Tahnks for any help

Likely just harder to find due to cool cover. Not sure what Guide is on the book these days, but I'm guessing a 2.0 copy would fetch a minimum of $250. Last year Heritage sold an CGC 8.5 with nice reds for $3300.

I think you are on the right track. Not a book I have researched and I don't have GPA but have seen the demand and lots of comments on this book on these boards. Using last years guide and assuming no big price jump I would guess at least 4-5 times guide.

 

Hi Scrooge

[cheetah]

GPA says

 

$3,446 for a 8.5 in Feb 2010

$1,500 for a 7.5 in Sept 2010

$956 for the Crippen 7.5 in 2006

$801 for a 5.5 in June 2009

I don't recall clearly but is this the jap decapitation cover?

[Scrooge]

Yup, the decap cover. A 2.0 thereabouts sold on eBay earlier this year for $300 to $350.

 

Now, as far as rarity, it's as tough as others around the same time period, the one-staple FHs, and a mite tougher due to the coolness factor.

I would agree it is a bit tough, but I see 31 come up more often than I do the equally cool (at least to me) Fight 30 and 32, IMHO.

[Scrooge]

Yes, 30 was a struggle for me to find. I've seen more 32's than I have seen 31's though. Of course, these comments are excluding the issue of grade.

Of course.

Grade is a completly different level to this conversation.

[Scrooge]

My experience / gut feeling is that 32 is the hardest to find in grade.

Thank you all.When in doubt ask the professionals (thumbs u

Another thing to note about the 31 is that very few seem to have really deep colors. If I remember correctly the 8.5 had really nice reds, which is probably why it did so well.

Unfortunately with Fiction House, the true reds often show up as pale orange. Still, ANY Fight 31 in grade will command many multiples of guide. How many high grade copies are out there regardless of color strike?

Definitely a tough one to find in decent shape.........

Just sharing my love for Fight 31 and 32.....

[walclark]

I love them both. Beyond the graphic nature of the decapitation on Fight 31, I think it was also unusual to show a US soldier being shot on the cover. Not good for morale.
