Maybe it won't take another decade to get an upgrade. Believe me. I've had mine for over 15 years and never seen better than a vg. I've probably only ever seen two on eBay and one of those was mine when I upgraded about a half grade... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Despite the technical grade, that copy looks to have superior eye-appeal ( the image quality makes it a little tough to say 100%). Given the scarcity, if it were mine, I'd probably ask the same amount raw or slabbed. It might sit for a while, but with the crazy prices in an auction setting one sometimes sees for hard to find comics ( in grade or in general), $2000 for a book that one could spend years trying to replace is not unreasonable any more.

N e r V Posted May 13, 2015 Share Posted May 13, 2015 It says the grade was knocked down due to tape so it probably does look much better than the grade. I think if I was interested I'd offer him $1500.00 (he has the make a offer option on) and see what the response is. That all depends if the tape vs better looking book appeals to someone.

fifties Posted May 13, 2015 Share Posted May 13, 2015 Thanks for the informed estimates. I guess I'm priced out of ever getting one. In the past I've spent up to $250 on each of a few icon-type books, including a Phantom Lady 18, and $250 twelve years ago would = about $375 today. It's painfully obvious that collecting reader grade copies at affordable prices is now a thing of the past, in many instances. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
