Some pretty big sales I’ve seen on low grades here’s one I found on eBay and comic connect also has 1.8 in auction that’s over 20K with two weeks left in bidding ?????

The centerfold for AF15 just sold for over 2 grand on ebay.  The whole book at 28k looks like a steal now  

 

*edit* oh, and what shocked me is there isnt even a picture of spidey on the centerfolds!   That's like buying a page from Cap 1 and getting one an add on one side and little orphan annie on the other!

It was few weeks back someone snagged the opening splash single page from AF15 which was fair price imo. I’m watching CGC 1.8 blue on comic connect it’s 23K with loads of time left for bidding . Getting in on the low tier of this book now is going to be very pricey now

Looks like its time to start tearing this one apart.  Staples are $150.

this (4.5) is the book that several boardies feel has yellowed, but i think looks great, and has no chipping. i'm not surprised to see it already at a record price for the grade. full disclosure, i too own one in this grade with no chipping, so i admit to being pleased.

Is it free from chipping though? I was just looking at it and it looks to have some pre chipping at least just above the building. In hand it would be easier to tell.

looks very free to me. if you consider this level of 'pre-chipping' to be an issue, i'd say you are even pickier than @pickycollector

I think it looks great, just sharing, it does look like the edge is not as sharp there, like it is above and below.

Hi everyone. So this ungraded copy sold for 15,600 on HA on Sept. 26th. https://comics.ha.com/itm/silver-age-1956-1969-/amazing-fantasy-15-marvel-1962-condition-pr/a/122139-17067.s?ic4=ListView-ShortDescription-071515

Condition: PR . Severe water damage, front cover rub, and rusty staples. Cover split and detached. But I assume it was complete.

A little question if I may: If the raw copy above sold for 15,600, then what do you think this graded, complete, but beat to heck .5 would sell for? More? Less? 

[ft88]

More. Better image of Spider-Man. Graded unrestored. And prices have gone up since September by quite a bit. I guess 20 K plus or minus.

The old prices are not coming back AF15 is just to big of a book and so much demand.

Damn!

Yep. And without all the scribbling on it gotta figure it would have hit 25 easy.

LESS, because your grade has already been fixed ar CGC 0.5 unless you go for a regrade, whereas the crypto crazed potential bidders on the raw Poor copy can still dream away and fantasize the actual grade will come in higher than 0.5 and hence bid accordingly.

You know deep down I think I knew that all along. I could just picture the people bidding up that raw Poor copy while the song Dream Weaver played in their heads. 

I forgot to say- By that theory, and its a darn good one I'll tell ya, if I were gonna sell my .5 on HA I would probably be better off cracking it.

Well, if you was thinking of cracking it out to sell on HA raw, a better idea might be for you to crack it out and have HA submit it in for grading before you auction it off.  

With the seeming influence they have with the boys over at CGC, you never know as your CGC 0.5 graded copy might just come back as a CGC 2.0 graded copy for all you know.
