I think what stymies upward mobility is the perception that there's "a lot" of high grade file copies out there.

I wonder how many per issue, a dozen, twenty, five? Is there any way to get an estimate?

 

Is $200 a lot to pay for an 8.5 or 9.0 of a common book? It seems about what they fetch on Heritage when slabbed, I haven't researched further yet.

 

Regarding quantities, I seem to recall this being discussed at some point on these boards... also the circumstances surrounding their ultimate sale to the public, the page quality issues, etc.. Try doing a search. My recollection is that on the pre-code file copies there were generally somewhere between 10-20 copies but I could be wrong about that.

 

I think $200 for an 8.5/9.0 "common cover" file copy is reasonable. I'd expect the more eye-catching covers to go for more.... in some cases a lot more (e.g., Tomb of Terror #15). The page quality issues tend to bring the grades down; that's why there really aren't a lot of them in 9.4 and 9.6 even though the exteriors look spectacular.

:headbang:

This is an outrageous cover, it's truly demented. I must own it.

 

GCD doesn't list an artist, though to my eyes it looks like other covers attributed to Al Avison.

 

That is one of my all-time favorite covers...

Notice too that I'm on the cover checking out the fissure into which the femme fatale is being lowered to make sure it's safe.

Safety is a prime concern during these sacraficial rituals.
