Those Australian Reggie covers are not Bob Montana, right? Tough to say. I would guess they are an Aussie artist trying to mimic Montana's style. originalisbest 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shame on HA for such an untelling scan. It’s another factor no doubt that killed GPA $6500 is not a gpa killer Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Junkdrawer Posted January 28, 2019 Share Posted January 28, 2019 People who scroll through auctions in search of books below market value go to GPA for advice. They see current avg and last sale and try to snag it under that amount. What they don’t know is the market for each and every book and how that is translated in to GPA. Again the Marvel Chipping. There are also cases of books with bar codes like BA12 that would not be reflected in GPA averages. The black WD1 mature label sells higher than the white but again GPA fails to report the differences. Trust me if you have beautiful AF15 and the identical grade just sold, buyers would be telling you what GPA is for your white pager with the clean right edge. shortboxed and gadzukes 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I prefer gocollect over gpa for this reason, although the ComicLink links don’t stay available for very long.

gadzukes Posted February 6, 2019 Author Share Posted February 6, 2019 (edited) Another raw Ginger 4 in the 4.0 range just sold again on ebay for $1225. https://www.ebay.com/itm/GINGER-4-1952-GOLDEN-AGE-COMIC-CLASSIC-GOOD-GIRL-ART-/352578085473?hash=item52174aa261%3Ag%3AX7kAAOSwA3xcS2qd&nma=true&si=7Of3YrKbiddYF0ZB9wXRy1gzNWw%3D&orig_cvip=true&nordt=true&rt=nc&_trksid=p2047675.l2557 Also a 2.0-2.5 range Ginger 4 just sold for $500 https://www.ebay.com/itm/Ginger-4-Archie-Comics-1952-GGA-/264164423291?hash=item3d816d367b%3Ag%3AYa4AAOSwo6NcS9Mw&nma=true&si=7Of3YrKbiddYF0ZB9wXRy1gzNWw%3D&orig_cvip=true&nordt=true&rt=nc&_trksid=p2047675.l2557 These sale prices seem to be higher than what Archie 50s go for. What's up with this? Which one of you boardies is hoarding these? I have a few but can't win any of these anymore cuz the prices are too high. Even a 3.0-4.0 Ginger 7 just sold for $220 a couple days ago. This series is on fire. Edited February 6, 2019 by gadzukes shortboxed 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gadzukes Posted February 8, 2019 Author Share Posted February 8, 2019 Just bought this Australian Archie. Once again they switched out one girl for another as Ginger gets switched out for Veronica. A No-Prize for anyone who can spot the definite mistake on the Australian cover. It's pretty obvious but you might miss it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ThothAmon Posted February 10, 2019 Share Posted February 10, 2019 (edited) Doubtful that DeCarlo needed Viagra in his golden years. Funny thing is I think I wore Jughead’s outfit in the seventies.
