Star Wars #1 Treasury Editions..?

[mintcollector]

These worth anything in good to fine condition? I see on eBay they routinely sell between $9 to $21 depending on condition (most are not even in near mint condition). Are these worth buying? CGC does not grade these, so I wonder what the demand is for Treasury Size editions?

 

Respectfully,

My prediction is they are worth whatever the "over 45 and still in denial about eyesight loss and refusing cheaters" crowd is willing to pay to read some 1970's Star Wars goodness!

I look at them as pre-TPB's.

I thank you all for responding. I don't know much about the Treasury books put out by Marvel. I would like to learn more though, as I come across a lot of them...

 

 

Thank You!

I focused on putting a complete run of Marvel treasury together for the past few years. I am down to 3 and I am all done. All at least 9.2 and many in the NM++ range.

Thank you so much! It would be great if CGC started grading these. I know they are 'big', but they do grade magazines. I think these would be worth quite a bit CGC graded in 9.0 and above (at least some of them). They do garnish a lot of attention at antique shows; that is for sure!

 

Kind Regards,

I bought a near complete set of Marvel/DC treasury comics from a guy for $400. The Star Wars treasuries were in the worst shape. Treasuries are (were) fun to collect. I added some modern treasuries after buying the bulk lot.

 

This thread needs pictures. These are "stitched" images since they are too large for a scanner. Whitman issues are shown also.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Rob's Treasury comics site above is by far the most definitive. I provided Rob with some info that he's added to his site. There is also another site that is easier to use if you want more of a checklist format.It is not as complete as Rob's is with other odd shaped formats such as magazines, tabloids, etc.

I love these books as display pieces...I believe they fit in some top loading magazine size protectors I bought and they look great in a room,

 

not that expensive to obtain but still retain the cool vintage feel!
