southern cross Posted July 22, 2022 Share Posted July 22, 2022 Love old labels, if you ever get a chance at a convention and see a silver age 9.6 in a old label ask to take a look at it. They are beautiful 👍 thehumantorch and MAR1979 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Once caveat; if not buying in person make sure to inquire if top of the slab label is intact!

Do people swap books out? Over time the thin layer of adhesive under the thin/narrow top label dries out and the strip curls up then falls off. It's easy enough to re-adhere using Best-Test Acid Free Natural Rubber Latex Paper Cement but only if you still have the label Probably the single greatest innovation of the "new" CGC slabs is that the top label strip is now sealed in the case. I always keep a metal can around of Best-Test for Original Comic Art stats that fall off as well as for the older slab CGC top label strips.

But that would become a restored (top) label. You might want to use wheat paste. Seriously though, definitenly worth securing that top label sooner rather than later, before you lose it. That almost happened to one of my slabs. Edited July 24, 2022 by Pantodude MAR1979 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

frozentundraguy Posted July 24, 2022 Share Posted July 24, 2022 I have noticed that Tales to Astonish #20 has warmed up recently. After spending most of 2021 valued at around $250 (for a CGC 6.0), Go Collect now pegs it's value at $325. PeterPark 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

frozentundraguy Posted July 25, 2022 Share Posted July 25, 2022 As to why it's on the rise. I would surmise these pre-hero issues of Tales to Astonish just might be undervalued compared to the issues after #27. Personally I like the artwork of the pre-hero issues better than the later issues, though I'm pretty sure that's a minority viewpoint.

True, true and true, but the volume of these books circulating is minuscule, there's not enough of them to go around. It's hard for a collector in this area to get momentum going.

Callaway29 Posted July 25, 2022 Share Posted July 25, 2022 I'm curious how these SDCC reveals will impact prices for some of these books, considering the state of the overall market (FF4 comes to mind). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
