Robot Man Posted November 9, 2015 Share Posted November 9, 2015 It only takes two collectors trying to build runs at the same time to cause a price spike on GA material. I think my favorite issue is #17; I almost went after the 5.0 that sold on Heritage last year. It's not something I'd want to pay much over guide for, though, and it went for almost $500, which was more than 2X guide. http://comics.ha.com/itm/golden-age-1938-1955-/superhero/prize-comics-17-prize-1941-cgc-vg-fn-50-off-white-to-white-pages/a/7093-91223.s?ic4=OtherResults-SampleItem-071515 Another title that I like that's been selling high lately is Lightning Comics. I really wanted the V2#1 that sold on HA this summer, but it went for $900—5 times guide! I was watching it right up till the end, but I couldn't justify paying that kind of money for it. I'd have gone double guide without a second thought. I bought the 38 on flea bay a few months back and had to pay 3.5 times guide. (I really wanted it bad). Lightning is from the Ace family and those a have heated up a lot in the past year or so. They were kind of a secret for a long time and I grabbed as many in any condition that I could find.

jimjum12 Posted November 10, 2015 Share Posted November 10, 2015 My favorites are 30-40...... the interiors are surprisingly well done in addition to the covers. I miss my Crippen copy of 35...... and I think it's 36 that has a cool motorcycle cover.... GOD BLESS... -jimbo(a friend of jesus) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sacentaur Posted December 25, 2015 Share Posted December 25, 2015 The Prize 8 is even tougher than the Prize 7 (I don't have either), I think - you're lucky to have a copy, Mr. P. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hibou Posted January 1, 2016 Share Posted January 1, 2016 Those are some great copies you have, Robot Man... thanks for posting those! My greatest GA comic regret was not pursuing the HA Prize Comics 18 more aggressively from a couple of years ago. If anyone has any copy for sale... PLEASE let me know!
