RIP. Was a tough day learning that he passed! Met him a handle of times over the years and always a kind demeanor for me. I had him sign and sketch a Superman’s Pal Jimmy Olsen 134 (1st Darkseid) many years ago. Really nice copy to! Wish I held onto it 🤦♂️😔 SA 215 though, great book to have a memory of with him. One of his earliest key books he worked on and awesome cover! OtherEric 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LDarkseid1 Posted May 3, 2022 Share Posted May 3, 2022 (edited) Wow, impressive sale with this Strange Adventures #23, and only 3rd highest graded with an 8.0 and 8.5 on the census. After sales tax and shipping will be over $1K. Some of these semi-early Captain Comet’s where there’s nothing in the 9.0 and up range sell strong!

LDarkseid1 Posted May 10, 2022 Share Posted May 10, 2022 (edited) So for anyone here that's been following the Promise Collection Pedigree, I've been tracking it, waiting for the issues of Strange Adventures to finally get graded. I asked Heritage early on when they announced this pedigree if they had an idea of what issues and approx. grades, and they said it was like the first 11-12 issues and they were all likely super high grade. So far issue #2 has sold and was an 8.0. Now issues #1 and #4 have been graded and are about to sell at auction. Issue #1 came back an 8.0 and issue #4 an 8.5. Anyway, great grades don't get me wrong, but I guess I was expecting to see stuff somewhere at least in the 9's. Considering soo many of the books in general from the collection and from soo many different titles as of the early 40's have come back in the 9.2-9.8 range, just goes to show how tough it is to find new examples of this series in super high grade. But obviously still other issues to potentially come to market so who knows. Would love to see the first 9.8 get graded of issue #9, 1st Captain Comet. That would be a sight to see! Currently there's two 9.6's I believe. Edited May 10, 2022 by LDarkseid1 OtherEric 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LDarkseid1 Posted May 17, 2022 Share Posted May 17, 2022 On 5/7/2022 at 7:59 AM, MrBedrock said: Another strong sale for this issue. Pretty low grade copy for $350. It's soo interesting how much rarer in higher grade Captain Comet issues become from like #23 in this book up to his last appearance in #49. From his first appearance in #9 to like issue #20, almost every single one has copies graded at least in the 9.2-9.4 range with some having 9.6-9.8. Then you get to issue like #22 or #23, and suddenly it's super difficult to find something above an 8.5-9.0 all the way up to his last appearance in #49. I guess it's no wonder one of his later appearances in like CGC 8.0 can sell for as much or more then a high grade copy of an early appearance in say issue #14.

Love those doomsday, asteroid/earth ending covers! Your 150 is super nice! I bought a CGC 8.5 years ago and just sold it. Kind of regretting it lol.

I picked up 149 and 150 about 20 years ago, before I decided to collect the title. 5 years ago I bought 160. All cool covers...and 150 has added appeal as a grey-tone cover.

LDarkseid1 Posted May 31, 2022 Share Posted May 31, 2022 Anyone going after that Strange Adventures 205 CGC 9.2 in the Clink auction? Tough these days to find that book in 9.2 and above. I’m thinking about it, but might just stick with my 9.0 for now 🤔. Also selling several of my other Strange Adventures books in the auction, but they’re pretty weak at the moment with little time left. Starting to wonder if Comiclink maybe isn’t the best outlet for these books. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
