intlnews Posted December 7, 2019 Author Share Posted December 7, 2019 I had an online scan when I sent it for an appraisal. Yea, I have them all online. My bank has a climate controlled vault, so due to the values, I moved all my valuable comics to the CC vault. The insurance premiums were just too high. https://ibb.co/9r6P0v5https://ibb.co/BjKXy99 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

All restored, Batman is the third highest grade. Superman is only a 7 though. DC #1 is a 5.5. Heritage says the Batman, Archie and DC # 1 are really nice and could grade higher. Since they screwed me on an auction in the Summer, they've been X'd from any comic sales. Talking to Metropolis and Comic Link.

CBCS or CGC graded ? If you can link scans that would be awesome Can't tell you much on the Archie1. Don't really follow that market but guessing would sell for the whereabouts of a 2.0 Universal copy. Edited December 7, 2019 by Gotham Kid Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Husband and wife duo that are pro comic book restorers but they go overboard. Restoration on steroids. They've produced Superman1 and Batman1 in 9.6 and many others, Marvel super keys in 9.8 etc. Edited December 7, 2019 by Gotham Kid Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No offense meant to you,that's just a name some have given that companies projects here due to the high level of changes and restoration they do for some books.I believe they and cgc were in some legislation as well.

Gotham Kid Posted December 7, 2019 Share Posted December 7, 2019 (edited) Here's an IGB Superman1 https://www.comicconnect.com/bookDetail.php?id=851703 Superman 1 trumps Archie1 any day, every day. And the current bid isn't anywhere close to what ComicLink is telling you'd get for your Archie1 Edited December 7, 2019 by Gotham Kid Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
