Nice, thank you. Had to get some Frazetta horror. Plus, I think this book was in SOTI for a hanging panel. Point Five 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

With that date, I guess Beware 10 came out right between FF212 and FF213 nearing his peak of that run.... Point Five 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I believe Beware #12 from Youthful's first 1952 run is referenced, and also Beware #6 from Youthful/Trojan's second run in 1953, but not Beware #10 from that second run. I'm open to be corrected on this as I'm not a SOTI expert . Still an awesome book inside and out, classic pre-code horror with a fantastic red dressed Frazetta girl being pulled down into a cold grave by dirty zombies!

lou_fine Posted June 12, 2023 Author Share Posted June 12, 2023 Thought this copy here might have had a chance of hitting over the $3K threshold mark, but looks like it still came in pretty close at $2,880: https://comics.ha.com/itm/golden-age-1938-1955-/science-fiction/famous-funnies-212-eastern-color-1954-cgc-vg-40-off-white-to-white-pages/a/122324-13076.s?ic4=GalleryView-ShortDescription-071515 Still, a very strong price considering that it took higher graded CGC 5.5 and 6.0 graded copies to hit over the $3K mark during the pandemic bubble of 2021 and this $2,880 price point for this nicely presenting copy was clearly higher than the $1,020 and $1,440 that a CGC 2.5 and CBCS 3.0 graded copies respectively were able to fetched earlier this year.

lou_fine Posted June 22, 2023 Author Share Posted June 22, 2023 Looks like we are going to get another opportunity to see how the Frazetta Famous Funnies market is doing later this afternnon: https://comics.ha.com/itm/golden-age-1938-1955-/science-fiction/famous-funnies-209-bethlehem-pedigree-eastern-color-1953-cgc-nm-96-off-white-to-white-pages/a/7340-92071.s?ic4=ListView-ShortDescription-071515 https://comics.ha.com/itm/golden-age-1938-1955-/science-fiction/famous-funnies-211-eastern-color-1954-cgc-vf-nm-90-off-white-pages/a/7340-92072.s?lotPosition=1&ic16=ViewItem-BrowseTabs-Auction-Open-SearchResults-120115 https://comics.ha.com/itm/golden-age-1938-1955-/science-fiction/famous-funnies-212-eastern-color-1954-cgc-vf-nm-90-cream-to-off-white-pages/a/7340-92073.s?lotPosition=2&ic16=ViewItem-BrowseTabs-Auction-Open-SearchResults-120115 https://comics.ha.com/itm/golden-age-1938-1955-/science-fiction/famous-funnies-216-bethlehem-pedigree-eastern-color-1955-cgc-vf-85-cream-to-off-white-pages/a/7340-92074.s?lotPosition=3&ic16=ViewItem-BrowseTabs-Auction-Open-SearchResults-120115 Major difference this time being that these 4 copies here are in realtively high grade condition, whereas in the recent past they've generally been in lower to mid-grade condition. Looks like the current leader of the pack is not surprisingly, Famous Funnies 212, which is currently sitting at KCOComics 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lou_fine Posted June 22, 2023 Author Share Posted June 22, 2023 Don't know if it's sad or happy to say that there's clearly no slowdown in these Frazetta Famous Funnies books with these results here. If I am correct, I believe that this is the first time that one of them has hit the $30K threshold (i.e the CGC 9.0 graded copy of FF 212) and also the first time that the much more readily available and more common FF 209 has managed to even come close to hitting 5-figures, let alone cross the $20K threshold level.

Ehh. Looks like the 209 Beth copy tanked on the flip. The sky is falling, guys. Better sell me your 9.0+ copies before they hit $0. I'll pay $500 each.

RareHighGrade Posted July 18, 2023 Share Posted July 18, 2023 Further proof why books like that should be sold through one of the auction houses rather than Ebay. That was a fire sale. Had it simply been listed here on the Boards it would have gone for much more. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I am fairly certain that people avoided any bidding because it is a scam. It would be unfortunate to be in that position of having to file a grievance (or whatever that process is) when the book never arrives. On the other hand, it would definitely be worth the "risk" if the seller is legit! Frisco Larson 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Seller registered July 6th 2023, zero feedback and no other auction listings! I mean, it IS within the realm of possibility that it was real, but all things point to it smelling funny. If legit, the lack of seller credentials made it sell cheap. Yorick and path4play 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Telegan Posted November 30, 2023 Share Posted November 30, 2023 (edited) I saw a 5.0 CGC Famous Funnies #209 sell on MCS a couple of days ago for around $900. I can't tell if they got a steal or prices are trying to reset. A lot of those mid and lower grade prices in that issue are basically the same. Lots of price compression in them.
