A Couple of questions about this Star Wars #1

[finecomics]

1. My opinion is this is a 6.0 Agree or Disagree?

2. Is this worth submitting?

3. Anyone want to make an offer?

4. Any guesses as to what this would go for on ebay?

 

Thanks Star Wars #1

1) disagree - maybe slightly better

2) yes - only $12 and a 4 month wait

3) once slabbed, about $450? (my thoughts on value, not offer...sorry)

Thanks Darth. So in your opinion if I got this slabbed it would have a better chance of getting $450? Or will it not make a difference? Thanks in advance.

1. A little higher

2. Yes. I would do onsite if you can get away with it to take advantage of the holidays.

3. Not really

4. $450-600

With this book, slabbed will probably get you the result you are looking for. Unless you overgrade it when listing, raw mid grade copies of this book will rarely get the premium you want because folks will always second guess your grading vs. seeing a big number on the CGC label.

 

Also I have to apologize about my number 2 suggestion. Donut was right about taking advantage of onsite grading but was not sure if you were going to make it to a show (Dallas Wizard World, Big apple Con in NYC?) with the onsite grading available. Selling this during the holiday season will definitely increase its potential. Good luck.

Grading will be more than $14 on this...doesn't meet the modern criteria for market value. I'm sure they will bump you up to a standard, so you'd have it back in a month or so.

 

I'd have it in the mail to CGC immediately.

What's with the odd black fading at the spine???

Why would they do that? The book doesn't even guide out at $100.

I noticed that as well. Just in the scan. The book actually looks better than the scan.

This looks to be a legit $0.35 variant - others in the thread have put its market value at $400+ as a ~6.0. CGC says they use 'market' as their criteria, not "guide".

 

I agree, though, in a sense. I'd probably sumbit it as a modern and let CGC decide if it needs to be a standard.
