Daredevil #1 CGC .5 (OW)

 

Picked this up, not too long ago, from a fellow Boardie. (Ryan.) If not for the obvious defect, he assessed it at about a 5.0. I'd agree and would say 5.5 on a good day.

 

If the remaindered copy factor doesn't scare you away, then it's a pretty nice starter copy.

 

219.00 shipped in the U.S. SOLD.

Wow that looks like the nicest .5 copy I have ever seen! Great copy, won't last long this is a great starter!

[Ryan.]

It's a great looking copy outside of the cover deficiency. Remainders can be a good way to get a nice book for the same price as their fuglier cousins.

Amazing Fantasy #15 CGC .5 (CRM/OW)

"Cover detached."

Blue label. Complete. No tape. No writing. The book IS a .5 and it is, no doubt, ROUGH, but find a better .5.

 

3,900.00 shipped in the U.S. Firm. PayPal only. No time payments on this one. Sorry.

Back in the box and thread now closed. "At that price, it ain't surprising," someone mutters.

 

Don't have GPA, but I'm definitely aware that this an aggressive price. (Though the 3K barrier has been broken more than once for a .5...and perhaps this copy could garner a 1.0 on a resub. :shrug:) Who knows, though, maybe in 3 years this price will seem like a deal.

 

My wife's a professional photographer...and it was a special day when I landed this copy. Wonderful pics. Great book. But times are a bit tough, so I'm walkin' the plank, grail in hand...

Beautiful AF #15 Photo! Such a vintage look to the book, love it! GLWTS!

I agree. I would much much rather have a nice looking copy that can be read but with one single major flaw...than a copy with a ton of creases, color loss, and a spine that is bashed up completely and would not withstand even flicking through the book.

 

[vaillant]

If one is not annoyed by that, the AF#15 would be a great candidate for leafcasting.

 

Great photos, give your wife my compliments – I love the setting.

I know everyone prefers higher grade books (because it means more $$) but I love the look of this book. It's been well-loved and hopefully well-enjoyed for years. Great feel of a book. Setting money aside, I wish I could own a copy that looked like that. Beautiful

[AlexanderM]

It does look nice. However, if I buy something that expensive I need to make sure it is a really good deal well below GPA. But yeah it looks very nice and rustic for a 0.5.

Absolutely agree here... It just has that perfectly aged look to it. And the wife captured it on film perfectly.

GLWTS. If I had time to raise the funds, I'd be all over this book.

Hard part with that, as we've all learned, is AF15 is one of those books that usually if not always sells at or above GPA. This is one book that seems to always be climbing...at one point in the future this .5 will look like a bargain IMHO. GLWTS!

Yup. Bought my copy raw in 1.5 / 1.8 back in '08 during one the "bubbles." Now, I bought at a slight discount from the current prices, but it was still crazy expensive for the time.

 

Um.. yeah. I could CONSERVATIVELY make around 4 to 4.5 TIMES what I paid for my copy if I tried selling it today. So yeah... this is one of those few times

Looks gorgeous except for the missing masthead.

I see a possible resto project in my future.

Thanks! Much appreciated.

 

And with that, I'll take my 2016-priced AF #15 and put it back in my collection. Took me 18 years to re-capture it (first copy was a pence copy), so it's probably for the best. Thanks to everyone for the kind words regarding the AF #15 pics--will pass them on to the wife.

 

THREAD CLOSED.
