I’m just getting into Decarlo, (picked up Jetta 1 in the last clink auction) so figured this would be a cool addition. Great score! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It lasted all of about 10 seconds before the book sold. ONLY $119.99 Congrats to whoever got this great deal! https://www.ebay.com/itm/MILLIE-THE-MODEL-20-Marvel-Comics-GGA-w-Hedy-de-Vine-and-Nellie-the-Nurse/352243076441?hash=item520352cd59:g:-VMAAOSwTmtaRuMs I have a Millie #20 I'll be offering up on a "culling the herd" sales thread in a week or so... A Crippen 7.5 went for $1,912.00 just the other day on HA. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mr. Lady Luck Posted December 31, 2017 Share Posted December 31, 2017 In recent years, this genre has been severely undervalued in the price guide. Does anyone have any ideas why? Does it take a long time for the market value to be reflected in the guide? Do they assume that this is just a trend that will die down soon? Are there too many comics in the world to keep up with them all? I realize that Overstreet is only meant to be a "guide", but when "$100" books are consistently selling for $2,000...

It took 3-4 years for Cindy #37 to catch up in Overstreet. Perhaps they have a criteria of certain number of documented sales? On the other hand, Four Color #386 (Uncle Scrooge) has been overpriced in Overstreet vs. actual sales by up to 2-3x for at least a decade. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They have to make sure it isn't just a trend..... I remember when High Grade silver was going for triple guide and OPG slowly increased to about double.... which was just about where everything finally settled in at.
