So here is a question for thread participants. My understanding is that the Mile High run of Planet Comics will one day come to market (unless the current owner decides to get buried with them). I don't think many people have seen the book from my understanding, but they are reported as being quite exceptional like most Edgar Church books. Assuming most of these books grade out at 9.0 - 9.4, where do you think the market goes with Planet Comics once these books start to filter in to the market?

 

I know any answers are speculative at best, but I am curious to hear others thoughts on this topic.

 

Warmest Regards,

 

Jason

That is a good question.

Will that rising tide raise all ships? I thought after the massive number Startling 49 got recently we would see a lot of copies surface and a 4.0 that was $2k would now maybe bring $3000-3500, but there have not been a lot of copies since then and I have not seen a huge bump.

 

I think if/when it happens you will see a marginal increase in interest and prices in the lower and mid grade copies and a nice bump for higher grade books. These books will remain huge outliers though. In several cases even a 9.0 is significantly higher than the current highest on gpa. I really believe a Church copy of 65-66 and 70-72 would sell for a surprising amount and those books are not really uncommon. I know my sales thread would be epic the month before that auction. meh

 

What Planet Comics were even in the Church collection ?
