TeddieMercede Posted May 14, 2016 Share Posted May 14, 2016 WTF? MGA #81 9.4 for nearly $3K in Heritage Sunday auction. with that cover - man you really gotta love the DP to spend anywhere near that price for that book. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thecopperagekids Posted May 14, 2016 Share Posted May 14, 2016 9.4 JIM 102 sold on Heritage for 8K this week... why? 1st app of Sif (and throw in that it's a pedigree copy) would be my guess. There is another CGC 9.4 on Heritage for sale...there have been 2 offers on it at $2500 and $4000. That said, I still don't see how a 9.4 sold for 8 g's.

Sif, Balder & Hela all first appeared in this issue. The Sif character shown in this book, really had no relation to the Sif character later introduced in the Thor series. She was a blonde haired goddess being held captive by Hela, hardly the dark haired warrior later appearing in Thor. I'd compare it to the multiple times a character named Thor appeared in comics in the 1940s & 1950s. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mark 1 Posted May 15, 2016 Share Posted May 15, 2016 The run up will level off post movie....but with a slight bump better than before the movie. Thats my prediction. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

lou_fine Posted May 18, 2016 Share Posted May 18, 2016 I need to sub my copy. Too many out there for a big runup to stand the test of time. Are you sure this is the best time to be submitting a gorgeous raw copy of a white-paged book like this, unless you were thinking of using the other company. The more than likely Newton rings on this white paged copy could potentially kill the beautiful look and seriously damaged the market value of this book in its current raw condition.

I have about 30 books at CGC now, and these will be the first I have subbed in the new holders. I am going to wait and see how they look before doing anything. Will CGC reholder books for free that have particularly bad examples of the rings? They should, they make a lot of books look awful. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

grebal Posted May 18, 2016 Share Posted May 18, 2016 Just keep (and provide to prospective buyers) a copy of the pre-CGC scan, looks like an awesome book. Pain in the , though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Unca Ben Posted July 30, 2016 Share Posted July 30, 2016 Journey into mystery 99 or 97? First Hyde or first Tales of Asgard? Both great books, IMHO, but if push comes to shove I'll take the issue with more Kirby art. JIM 97. 'Course I'm a reader/collector. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The lack of an inner well is what caused the excessive newton ring effect on the 4/14 holders. I got 18 books back from CGC 2 weeks ago, slabbed in the post 6/14 cases. None of the cases have issues.

CrocHntr Posted August 2, 2016 Share Posted August 2, 2016 I was really hoping this one would fly under the radar today. Blackhawk 133 (1st Appearance Lady Blackhawk). My $125 bid got blown out of the water, and the sale seems to support the lone GPA sale of a 7.0 at $478 I'm sure prices are primarily driven by scarcity + 1st appearance demand, but it seems to be heating up for sure. There have been real beaters going for almost $100 recently. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
