Larry Harmons Laurel & Hardy #1(1972) Highest census copy

[bill999]

WoW! only ONE CGC 9.8 copy of L&H listed on the census for the last 4 and a half years! what a beyond tough book in true high grade. I say that because I am the collector who sent that copy in to CGC back in 2001. It came back graded 9.8 and I sold it in 2001 for $262.00 to an ebayer after the reserve price I had on it was not met when I had it listed on ebay. It resold for $600.00 a year later I found out by seeing the sale of it on GPA. I sure miss that book! never should have sold it for most bronze key books pre 1973 are near impossible in 9.8 or better .

HOM #174 and HOS #81 sure are beyond undervalued in the guide today eh? Not many census graded copies better than 9.2 on both books?

HOM #174 and HOS #81 are beyond undervalued books in the guide!. Those books should guide for $500 each in 9.2 in the guide one would think eh?

It's true (this is where you laugh your [embarrasing lack of self control] off). The last few HOS 81 CGC 9.4 copies were overgraded, and the last HOM 174 CGC 9.6 Pacific Coast went for $1,500.00. I'm scared to think what they would go for now.

On comic Link a year ago a Detective #359 in 9.6 sold for $2,500.00 gasp!.

 

HOM 174 is much tougher than HOM 81 in true 9.4 all though both are real hard to find. You collect magazines too it seems? Ever seen a gothic tales of love magazine by marvel or own one? It guides for $160 in 9.2 in the guide.

I am fine with my VF 81 and 174 for a total of $75.

Its beyond amazing that in 1998 most ALL bronze age books jumped up 400% or more in value in the guide is it not? In the 1993 annual overstreet guide Weird War Tales #1 guides for 25 cents!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!--------- can one believe it???
