Mr. Lodge Posted January 29, 2014 Share Posted January 29, 2014 Hey Rob I'll stake a claim for having the lowest grade #9. Hey Chris You may have me on the #9 though any #9 is a treat. Sadly, I haven't scanned mine yet and have forgotten what it looks like. Here is my #50 and #10 for the tally. Thanks gadzukes! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GoldenPRGuy Posted February 8, 2014 Share Posted February 8, 2014 Watched a sparkle city auction for a Archie number 10 end on eBay the other night. It went pretty cheap ... $100-ish. I know it wasn't a beautiful book but had it been an earlier issue, based on what we've seen lately, it would've gone for many multiples of guide. It seems that there's a huge price shift from Archie 1-4 to Archie 6-10. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GoldenPRGuy Posted February 19, 2014 Share Posted February 19, 2014 Question for the group … and a little . Is is just me or does PGX instantly remove credibility from an auction. Here is an Archie 50 on ebay. Archie 50 (6.5) Seller has great feedback, book is high priced but there is an offer tab, and if this was CGC'd it'd be gone by now, but … no, it's a SPOONing (did that myself) PGX. Instantly all I can think is 'what is wrong with the book that the owner sent it to PGX to be slabbed?' Amateur resto? Detached cover? Etc., and of course I have ZERO faith that the book is a 6.5. I'm guessing a 5.0 at best, and a purple label with CGC. Any thoughts? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That is my thought. I don't have #50 yet but I'm not even going to waste my time on that one since my offer would be less than half of what he's got it listed at.

They've had too many examples of extreme overgrading. I would agree that it's closer to 5.0. There appears to be too much spine roll for a 6.5.

GoldenPRGuy Posted February 20, 2014 Share Posted February 20, 2014 (edited) On an unrelated note, Archie 1 on HA is bringing the big bucks again! 13k with the live auction still to come for a taped up 2.0. Sorry but I just think that's awesome. I wanna have my raw unrestored copy slabbed just to know for sure. I'll keep my restored one raw. I look forward to the day that my $200 purchase s selling for 100x! Edited February 20, 2014 by GoldenPRGuy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gadzukes Posted February 20, 2014 Author Share Posted February 20, 2014 $16,730 for the Archie 1 2.0 on Heritage. I guess that fits right in with what these have been going for. It reinforces the strong prices instead of making any of them look like an aberration. I remember it was only something like 3 years ago when there were virtually no sales records of Archie 1s so it was really hard to pin point value. The grades are starting to fill out now on GPA. This was the 1st 2.0 that GPA has recorded. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gadzukes Posted February 21, 2014 Author Share Posted February 21, 2014 Now we know what an original art page from Archie 1 goes for. $13,145 I bid about half of that knowing I would be outbid, but still hoping there was a chance I could snag it. It was really difficult to know how high this was going to go since there aren't really any comps for a piece like this. Here's the link to the auction: http://comics.ha.com/c/item.zx?saleNo=7087&lotNo=92162&lotIdNo=11007&domain=all A Pep 27 original art page (predates Archie 1) went for $8664 http://comics.ha.com/c/item.zx?saleNo=7087&lotNo=92161&lotIdNo=11008&domain=all What do you think of these prices?

I was watching the bidding on the Archie 1 page and actually thought it would go higher, given the run up in prices of the comic. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gadzukes Posted March 10, 2014 Author Share Posted March 10, 2014 (edited) This thread needs a bump and I saw this over on the restoration thread so I thought I'd post it here. If you've never seen the magic that Zeman can perform on a comic with leafcasting here it is on the 1st wrap of an Archie 1. Archie 1 outer wrap.
