originalisbest Posted June 14, 2013 Share Posted June 14, 2013 Dang. Looks like a VF- copy of BCM #50 is a 3K book these days. Just ended on the bay. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bronze johnny Posted June 14, 2013 Share Posted June 14, 2013 Looks like there was a bidding war going on between 2 bidders that really wanted this book. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
originalisbest Posted June 14, 2013 Share Posted June 14, 2013 And same seller just put up THING #12 in 8.0, ends just under 7 days from now. Gonna be WAY out of my price range... but paging Mr Illmannered! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
originalisbest Posted June 14, 2013 Share Posted June 14, 2013 No doubt Johnny, I only regret not getting one at price levels of $400-500 years ago. Ah well, eventually I'll get one, but monies are needed elsewhere at present! I'd bet within the next 5 years or so, I'll be able to pony up for one.

originalisbest Posted June 14, 2013 Share Posted June 14, 2013 Whoa! Just checking out the THING #12, white pages! Yeesh. Anyhoo, looks to be a slight rippling on the back cover open edge -- pressable for certain for those into such things. I am going to go out on a limb and predict a high price realized for that one.

originalisbest Posted June 14, 2013 Share Posted June 14, 2013 I'm going out on a limb and predict I will own that book. Good luck Gabe! It really does look nice. All the various defects appear to be on the back cover, and mostly pressable, maybe a bit of wear upper right back cover corner. The freakin' front cover looks 9.4 at a glance, great surfaces and corners. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
originalisbest Posted June 14, 2013 Share Posted June 14, 2013 And, seems like a printer's crease in the middle of the back ad. You sure would wonder at a glance of the front cover why just an 8.0, I did! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Johnny545 Posted June 14, 2013 Share Posted June 14, 2013 Dang. Looks like a VF- copy of BCM #50 is a 3K book these days. Just ended on the bay. Here is something that shocks me - a Marvel Tales 128 CGC 7.0 went for $1000 on comiconnect? Huh, what...I would like to think I have an idea of what Marvel Tales are worth, but this one tripled my expectation. Bizarre to me.

Mr.Illmannered Posted June 14, 2013 Share Posted June 14, 2013 I hung on to the Reform School Girls tonight til it hit $7500...now I'm thinking at that point, what was another $500??? Oh well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Twistty1 Posted June 14, 2013 Share Posted June 14, 2013 (edited) I hung on to the Reform School Girls tonight til it hit $7500...now I'm thinking at that point, what was another $500??? Oh well. That was a beautiful copy with great registration. Much nicer than a couple of the 8.0's I've seen. I actually thought that price was a reasonable for that copy, especially considering it sold for over 11k 5 years ago. But it's not the highest graded.

Johnny I'd agree, it's a cool cover and OK issue, but $1000 for F/VF? Hmm. No idea! There's the person or persons chasing Mystery Tales at crazy prices, but Marvel Tales? If so all my few random equivalent quality issues of Marvel Tales are definitely for sale at $1000 a pop! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Why have Journey into Mystery and Mystery Tales in high grade gone through the roof and other Atlas horror titles haven't...curious.

originalisbest Posted June 14, 2013 Share Posted June 14, 2013 Not really sure Johnny! If I have a chance soon, I hope to post some precodes that I've either rediscovered my scans I posted 10 years ago, or never shared at all yet. Here's my Web of Evil #5 I also just placed in the Web of Evil thread. One of my fave covers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
