Ryan. Posted June 12, 2020 Share Posted June 12, 2020 Perhaps he's just really concerned about the buyer getting his purchase in an expeditious manner. chevalmeow 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wombat Posted June 12, 2020 Author Share Posted June 12, 2020 I think that is a very fair price. Probably doesn't help out cstojano. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No, I did not buy it, I was mentioning the Pony Express because lately I have been having trouble getting my purchases in a timely manner. Probably due to Covid delays. Right now I am waiting for a slab from Lone Star that has been in shipment for 2 weeks. I live in the same state. I also have a return for credit to another seller that was last seen in Dallas on June 4th. "in transit". LOL. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think it helps me a bit because the value of that book to me is negative as a late reprint. I think it makes the Eerie posted above look like a great buy at 1200 even if an under copy. Interesting to consider the drivers of price though because I suspect we all have different things we focus on. To me the reprint is a big distraction even if the art is iconic, much more so than the Vamp 5 cover that I have. Who knows. My need to sell these books has basically ended so I will likely let the listing run out and put these away again. I was angling for a stupid purchase that would have bankrupted my collection, which fell through (thankfully, I think). I should note that I had one offer on eBay for 7k for the three books I listed, which I declined. A regret, maybe? But I hate paying eBay 700 dollars in fees on that sale.

Without question I think your books are more valuable. The question is how much. If I had to value your books I would say to me probably between $2,000 and $2,500 each. Obviously just my opinion. Personally unless the book in question is a bit more of a grail (Vampi 1, Weird Science Fantasy 29, etc.) I think the vast majority of the value is the sig alone. chevalmeow and oakman29 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wombat Posted August 7, 2021 Author Share Posted August 7, 2021 So from reading this thread it appears there were three separate signings with Frazetta. I think I have two of the dates as 5/30/09 and 5/10/08. What was the third date? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Makmorn Posted August 7, 2021 Share Posted August 7, 2021 (edited) More like 5 signings 11/23/08, 7/12/08, and 1/11/09 Edited August 7, 2021 by Makmorn Randall Dowling 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ryan. Posted August 7, 2021 Share Posted August 7, 2021 I have it in my head that he did roughly 125 SS books in aggregate. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cstojano Posted January 15, 2022 Share Posted January 15, 2022 Thought I would bump this for the 20k sale of the FF 211 on heritage yesterday. I think this piece was on eBay for less than this for some time, perhaps by a boardie. https://comics.ha.com/itm/golden-age-1938-1955-/science-fiction/famous-funnies-211-signature-series-frank-frazetta-eastern-color-1954-cgc-vf-nm-90-off-white-to-white-pages/a/7266-95049.s?ic2=mytracked-lotspage-lotlinks-12202013&tab=MyTrackedLots-101116 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cstojano Posted January 15, 2022 Share Posted January 15, 2022 I always valued these Famous Funnies less than the Warren mags, but apparently not. Reading this Magazine thread may have biased me here ;) I sold mine last year and barely recovered my costs. RockMyAmadeus 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
