krighton Posted August 8, 2014 Share Posted August 8, 2014 (edited) I certainly don't expect 9.9s, cover just seems too fragile and easily bent...I figured the flaking will be considered a printer error... When you get your box resist the urge to give it a shake.... Edited August 8, 2014 by krighton Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

accessndx Posted August 8, 2014 Share Posted August 8, 2014 Strange question for you ashcan folks: what do you place the value of these at currently? I'm always conscious of logging rare collectibles, taking pictures, etc. just in case there's ever an insurance claim. I never used to worry about those things, but about 10 years ago I had extensive water damage....if it weren't for thorough documentation and other records, alot of stuff would have never been reimbursed. Unfortunately there's no GPA data and there are only a very small sampling of raws sold. Definitely interested in trying to determine a 'replacement value' if such a thing could even be determined.

It's hard because there are simply so few and also because we have bias. For me personally, I would not take less than $2500 for mine. Not only because it's from the C2E2 which is the very first ashcan Frank self published, but also because this was Frank's personal copy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As silly as this sounds, even a small discussion like this in a public place helps to crystalize some sort of "value". To me personally, the ashcans are practically priceless....but that would be a completely illegitimate thing to say with regards to insurance replacement value. I think we saw the sale of a raw sometime ago for around $700-800? I believe that was the one Frank auctioned off for a colleague of his? I could be totally mis-remembering. Of course an encapsulated one is a bit different valuation as per practically everything else raw vs graded. Not sure if I could put a "for sale" price on either of mine.....but I suspect it'd be in the same ballpark for the 9.2 SDCC.....the 2.5 C2E2 would have to clock in less for grade....but being that it's so rarified....I think not less than 1K. I'd still have mucho hesitation letting either go even at those prices. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Solar Posted August 8, 2014 Share Posted August 8, 2014 My ECCC copy is currently being slabbed. Guessing it's somewhere in the 7.0 range, but I didn't press it first. I have no idea what I'd sell it for - it's the only one of the floppies I really care about. Otherwise, my 5G collection is all OA. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Even if you have no intention of selling, everyone has an internal price that would make them think 2x before saying no. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Solar Posted August 8, 2014 Share Posted August 8, 2014 If you offered me $1500, I'd probably take it and buy another cover or two. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
krighton Posted August 8, 2014 Share Posted August 8, 2014 I think the #6 variant should be worth more than it is. Ltd to 200 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mangbus Posted August 8, 2014 Share Posted August 8, 2014 I think the #6 variant should be worth more than it is. Ltd to 200 #6 Has Garry Brown interior art. Lack of Mooneyham interiors and that it was a 1 shot story could be holding the price back? #10 ECCC variant is also limited to 200 and can be had for less than #6.
