MGsimba77 Posted September 23, 2017 Share Posted September 23, 2017 I've seen some 9.8 say off white pages & some off white to white while others state white pages. How much of a difference in value would there be between them? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mystafo Posted September 23, 2017 Share Posted September 23, 2017 Boy oh boy, they are SO NOT all created equal! White will always bring a premium (how much depends on the book in question). Off White/White is next and Off White is last (of the 3). Some collectors won't accept anything less than white in a 9.8 some are ok with ow/w. Silver age and older DCs with white pages bring quite a premium. I guess it's relative to the book is what I'm getting at here! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Would there be a huge difference between white pages & ow to white with these in particular? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mystafo Posted September 23, 2017 Share Posted September 23, 2017 If white brings any premium over ow/w on these it would be very minimal, unless there was one guy out there with a run of ASM with all white pages then he might be willing to pay a little bit more for those if was missing them. Otherwise, not much difference to the avg. buyer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just baught a ASM 138 ow/w while passing on another white with roughly 80 dollar difference Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mystafo Posted September 23, 2017 Share Posted September 23, 2017 I think you're better off saving the 100 bucks...hell that's another cool book! MGsimba77 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What's your take on varying sketches on covers by the artists? Would a more detailed venom sketched like this one for example fetch higher value than a comparable book with a Spiderman face sketch?

Mystafo Posted September 23, 2017 Share Posted September 23, 2017 (edited) That's a matter of preference, but I will say that I would MUCH rather the Venom remark since it alludes to his development afterwards. Just my humble opinion. SS is a hard thing to value sometimes...alot depends upon sig placement and quality of the remark.

(ps. we're not supposed to post book graded by the other grading companies, so maybe crop off the top or take the image down) K thanks. That one I recently bought. I'm considering ASM 83 9.8 by CGC ow/w pages for 1700. Hard to find this one auctioned or sold anywhere! I really want it but I think it's too high. What say you?

At some point I really think you need to do your own home work. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You could consider subscribing to GPA or GoCollect and also check out the final hammer prices Comic Link auctions. Those are some services which could give you an idea on pricing. Regarding your previous questions about page quality, it seems that White pages will go for about 10-15% higher than OW/W. That seems like a ball park figure for bronze age Spideys like you are looking at. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Doubt you could even tell the difference if they were side by side with the labels hidden. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Doesn't grading involve more than just the covers? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That would seem ridiculous but I read in another thread that's what they do. I found another site however + heritage has information as well.
