Point Five Posted March 23, 2022 Share Posted March 23, 2022 Fantastic, Rick! I'm collecting the set in presentable low grade and am just halfway there. Love seeing these beauties! Ricksneatstuff 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You definitely should have jumped on that FF 211 especially since it was a CGC 9.2 graded Bethlehem pedigree copy that sold for only $5,711 which is a bargain compared to the lower graded CGC 9.0 copy that CGC sold for a whopping $19,800 a few short months earlier.

Popular Post Sky Posted May 18, 2022 Popular Post Share Posted May 18, 2022 Buck Rogers has always been one of my favorite characters watching re-runs of Buster Crabbe serials. I started collecting a number of the toys from the 30's and 40's when I first saw a display at the Smithsonian of Ray guns, space helmets and fighter ships. So when the opportunity came to buy a collection of Frazetta covers, I did not hesitate. And another opportunity came for a signing, there was no question, just a matter of how many can I send lol. I believe there was a limit of two at the time. This is one of them and my favorite. Ricksneatstuff, BanjerD, buttock and 4 others 7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dr. Balls Posted May 18, 2022 Share Posted May 18, 2022 I just got bit by the Frazetta bug after Point Five put up a #214 for sale. After staring at it all night and reading about the significance of this Frazetta run, I had to pull the pin. I'm looking forward to chasing them for awhile.

You can thank me when you end up selling your furniture to complete the run. (That reminds me, anyone wanna buy a sectional couch? Pretty sure it can ship Media Mail.) piper, Yorick and AJD 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

lou_fine Posted August 6, 2022 Author Share Posted August 6, 2022 I guess we will get a much better idea of where the Frazetta Famous Funnies market is after tomorrow's Heritage Sunday auction with lower graded copies of both FF 211 and FF 215, along with this mid-grade beauty here: https://comics.ha.com/itm/golden-age-1938-1955-/famous-funnies-209-eastern-color-1953-cgc-fn-60-off-white-to-white-pages/a/122232-13317.s?ic4=ListView-ShortDescription-071515 Based upon the current bidding action with this copy here at only $780 with the Heritage BP juice included, I imagine it won't finished close to the $12K and $9K which the equivalent graded CGC 6.0 copies of FF 213 and FF 215 were able to fetch the previous two Sundays. Especially since both of those copies were already sitting in the thousands at this same point in time, as I imagine the CGC labels inscribed with "From The Estate of Frank Frazetta" was a driving force with those two copies there.

KirbyJack Posted August 6, 2022 Share Posted August 6, 2022 I think both the 213 and 215 covers are more desirable, as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And both also much tougher to find and in grade when compared to Famous Funnies 209, as confirmed by the CGC Census Population Report.

Pantodude Posted August 6, 2022 Share Posted August 6, 2022 (edited) We all like Frazetta, but let's pump the brakes a bit. Are you seriously wondering whether a FF209 in 6.0 could "finish close" to what the 6.0s of the 213 and 215 recently fetched ($12K, $9K), even assuming the 213/215 results weren't outliers for whatever reason? Why would it, if I may ask? An 8.0 FF209 fetched only $2611 just last month, which followed the $2950 the Twin Cities 8.0 fetched in March, both pretty down from early 2021 for a regular 8.0 ($3241). I don't recall any additional reports of relevant sales. Edited August 6, 2022 by Pantodude manetteska 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pantodude Posted August 6, 2022 Share Posted August 6, 2022 (edited) Unrelately, does anyone know why there's only one comic entirely drawn by Frazetta (Thunda 1)? Perhaps it just turned out that way (bummer!). But I wonder if it was a conscious decision by Frazetta, if he ever discussed it?

RareHighGrade Posted August 6, 2022 Share Posted August 6, 2022 I think that one of the primary factors holding back FF 209 is that it is more commonly found than some of the other issues. In terms of the quality of the art, I like it better than many, if not most, of the other covers in the run, particularly the damsel in distress. lou_fine 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
