Popular Post Dark Knight Posted April 7, 2022 Popular Post Share Posted April 7, 2022 I don't think the 9.4 sale should lift all lower graded copies higher because of the uniqueness of the book in this high grade. Also, it is from a well-renowned and one of the most desired pedigrees to boot. Chicago Boy, Larryw7, Joshua33 and 4 others 7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Marvel 1 is experiencing that lately with a 4.5, 2.5, and the Pay copy all selling within a three month period, publicly. Prior to that, we’d be lucky to hear of one copy in a year selling publicly or privately it’s good to see the Reilly Cap 1 sell publicly twice in a few years. It had not been seen for over 40 years prior to that… Sauce Dog, Larryw7 and Dark Knight 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aman619 Posted April 7, 2022 Share Posted April 7, 2022 Id say that there will be a lot of increase for lower grade copies now that Cap 1 has a 3M sale on the board. Just like AF15 at 3.6 had jumpstarted all the lower grades since. Theres so much less risk paying the price now for any Cap 1 than there was a week ago!

No one who has a complete lower grade copy, including restored copies, would be wise to sell for less than $100k now IMO. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's impressive appreciation in under over 2 years or under 3 years.

Totally agree with you as I believe in the theiry that a rising tide tends to lift all boats. Besides this same type of increase that we have seen with AF 15, we are also experiencing not only the same phenomeon with lower graded copies of TMNT 1 below CGC 9.8, but also a rising tide for some of the later Turtles issues after TMNT 1.

jpepx78 Posted July 6, 2022 Share Posted July 6, 2022 (edited) Roaming around the web, I found an interesting picture of Capt America 1. Initially I thought the Cap 1 was a replica since it was a nicely presenting book encased in a slab with an unknown label but I noticed the Bonnet’s store stamp. I don’t recall many key issues with a Bonnet’s stamp on them. It appears the restored book was slabbed and the grading label replaced with a Hero Restoration label. This book resides in the Hall of Heroes Superhero museum in Elkhart Indiana. Anyone here visit this museum?

I was wondering why Mike at Hero Restoration wanted a custom label a few years back and what ever came of it Nazirite and Primetime 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post Sweet Lou 14 Posted June 24, 2023 Popular Post Share Posted June 24, 2023 I went looking (about two years deep in the GA threads) for a general-purpose Captain America Comics collecting thread, but couldn't find one. (If I missed it, please let me know!) Anyway, I've been wrestling with the idea of attempting to join this club for a few years now, but wasn't sure it was ever going to happen. Then this week I saw an opportunity to buy my first-ever books from Cap's GA run, and I pounced: So I think it's now just a matter of time before I fill in #1-5. I'm going to target 7.0 (or as close as possible) for #2 and #5, but with #1 I'm going to be open to (almost) all grades. bc, Terry JSA, batman_fan and 10 others 13 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's so hard to set a price for books like this but in the moment I did think I ended up paying at worst a fair price, at best a bargain price. Not experienced enough with GA books to be certain.
