Not that Atlas romance are out there in high grade to any degree, but this book in particular is ridiculously hard to see in even mid grade. Current unaccepted? offer is $4,050. I would think an acceptable offer would have to at least start with a 5 in front and maybe even that wouldn't do it - a 7500 ask seems to suggest you gotta come with a 6. 1950's war comics 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's treading in strange waters. It's a great looking 6.0. This could be the nicest existing copy, or there could be 4 others out there better. But who knows if you'll ever see them.

And it should remain there if accepted, yeh? Not sure how a counter that's accepted would show up though. it's a new submit, and I mean new as in graded 3 days ago. It may not even be in the seller's hands yet. And not willing, as of yet, to trust the HA waters. As in if I can't get my price ima hold. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dr. Love Posted April 12 Share Posted April 12 (edited) Maybe full ask is what it will take. Not out of the question for this book - it's a grail, aint no denying Romance - still undervalued! Comparatively speaking, of course!! Edited April 12 by Dr. Love BuscemasAvengers, 1950's war comics and Point Five 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I just discovered this cover a little over a year ago and it has become my favorite comic cover of all. When you see a copy in person it just stands out, “hits different” as the kids say these days.

This price seems absurd to me but I'm still wrapping my head around the interest and resultant price escalation that's been pushing towards Atlas romance the last year or so.

I dunno, it's all so crazy now, but I can pretty much rationalize any GA price in the context of UF4 9.8s getting 3k. There's like 8 million of them. There's nothing rational about any of this hobby.
