How does one even know which issues are hot without making it a full-time job? This has long been one of my favorite Millies - is it a consensus book or one for the dog-pile?

PopKulture Posted January 7, 2018 Share Posted January 7, 2018 (edited) My wife made fun of me for playing with my comics much of the afternoon. To me, that's always time well spent! Here are a few GGA books I didn't want to take out of their snug mylars: Edited January 7, 2018 by PopKulture comicjack 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Millie especially. DeCarlo GGA covers are for the gold junk heap. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'll probably throw them in the pile with my wife's Lands End catalogs and dump that stuff in the recycling bin. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I will send UPS right out to your place to bring to box them up and Shop over here and we will take care of that for you ASAP. I live to serve. If you see similar looking copies for sale in the near future it’s only because your copies looking strikingly identical to mine. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If Millie's thighs are wide enough to cause the mylar to split, it's DeCarlo art and it's worth a fortune. PopKulture and Sqeggs 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

*Bronze age fan* Posted January 11, 2018 Share Posted January 11, 2018 On 12/31/2017 at 9:06 AM, Mr. Lady Luck said: 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... This genre is rough. Once all the guys, (how many guys are chasing these comics) fill in there runs. What will the new copies of these comic listed for sale, sell for? A book that sold for thousands, may sell for hundred once the demand if filled with these guys and then could sell for 20 bucks. The comics are worth what people are willing to pay. Once the deep pockets guys get their copies (I.E. you) the price could fall to the ground. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As an annual price guide, he can't really shift prices up dramatically on the basis of a few sales for the reasons you note. I think it's particularly tough for him to price higher grade books in genres like this one. The Atlas humor books that have been selling on Heritage are in a number of cases by far the best copies to come on the market in years. Who knows if other copies will appear or if they will achieve comparable prices if they do or whether mid-grade copies will escalate as well (in some cases, obviously, they have). If prices are sustained at these levels, I think he'll raise the prices in the guide. My guess is that, given the scarcity of these books and the interest in them, prices will remain high indefinitely, although they may move off current levels. I don't see them becoming $100 books again. I can't think of an instance of price crashes of that magnitude happening with GA books.

I am sure you watch eBay auctions for these comics, as do I. Once in a while, do you notice a Millie that sells high, then the same issue number comes up for sale and it does no where near what it did in the prior auction for the same issue. It does not happen a lot. But it does happen. Sometimes it comes down to do the right two people see the auction, who both need the issue. Then it's a perfect storm for the SELLER. The storm does not always happen. You get what I am saying? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yep and there have been low-priced BINs for some of these books on eBay where the seller isn't following the market (or relies on Overstreet).
