paperheart Posted November 2, 2011 Share Posted November 2, 2011 Nice books! As I've mentioned elsewhere, those Aquamans from 11-20 are surprisingly tough to find in high grade! the #11 w/ the black cover makes sense but why the #12? hepcat's is the nicest copy of that book i can remember seeing Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It`s always been a mystery why those Aquamans are harder to find in high grade than the earlier issues. You might think it`s because their prices aren`t high enough to draw supply from the woodworks, but there`s no shortage of Aquamans in the 20s and onwards.

frozentundraguy Posted November 3, 2011 Share Posted November 3, 2011 Here are scans of my next two Aquaman issues: Hepcat, I just checked on this thread today. Awesome run of Aquaman books you have. About 10 years ago a local LCs had a #5 in about VF, I'm still kicking myself for not picking up that book. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hepcat Posted November 3, 2011 Author Share Posted November 3, 2011 (edited) Nice books! As I've mentioned elsewhere, those Aquamans from 11-20 are surprisingly tough to find in high grade! the #11 w/ the black cover makes sense but why the #12? hepcat's is the nicest copy of that book i can remember seeing I seem to recall that it took me many years to find a nice #12. Since I've had it for around fifteen years, I've forgotten both where I got it and precisely how difficult it was to find.

JohnT Posted November 6, 2011 Share Posted November 6, 2011 Here are scans of my Aquaman 1 and Aquaman 2: It took me over 25 years to find a really nice copy of #2 but I finally got one at a show here in Toronto from Superworld of Worcester, Massachusetts.

You might think it`s because their prices aren`t high enough to draw supply from the woodworks, but there`s no shortage of Aquamans in the 20s and onwards. Just took a look at the census.... 11,12, and 14 have only a single 9.4 each as highest graded. 17 has a single 9.6 and no 9.4's . 13,15,16,18,and 19 have single 9.8's . 18, the wedding cover, seems to be the most plentiful. Besides the 9.8, 3 X 9.6, and 2 X 9.4 . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

frozentundraguy Posted November 9, 2011 Share Posted November 9, 2011 (edited) That has to be a great feeling, knowing you have the best. Speaking of having the best available copy, that must apply to many of the Hepcat's books. Edited November 9, 2011 by frozentundraguy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bomber-Bob Posted November 9, 2011 Share Posted November 9, 2011 That has to be a grand feeling, knowing you have the best. Yeah but it won't last long. I'm sure a higher graded, pressed to kill, will come along soon. I got this graded about a year ago, from my personal collection, never been pressed. I'm surprised it's lasted this long as highest graded. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
