My comic shop has a raw 0.5 up on their site for $2650.00. 

So, I imagine it just might be a bit more than $2,650 if it was say a nice CGC 7.5 graded copy?

So, it would appear that the book has apprently gone up in value since CC's last auction of an Ace Comics 11 with this copy here only selling for $562.60 back in the summer of 2015, or just before the big explosion in GA prices:

All these years, I thought Superman came first and something caused me to check it and The Phantom came out 4 months before but the Phantom gets no respect. I have always thought of The Phantom like soccer.  The Phantom is the most popular superhero world wide like soccer is to sports but we don't really care that much about either one in the USA..

I own a nice Ace 11 and would never ever sell it at guide when I sell it, it deserves waaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaay over guide. I will try and dig it out of my safe and post a pic.

So my question is why no respect for The Phantom?

The first comic hero with super powers was Popeye

Any chance yet that you found some time to dig your copy out of the safe so that we can take a look at it?  

Especially since "nice" copies of Ace 11 seems to be a rare as hens teeth and we have yet to see a copy in VF 8.0 or above after some 20 years of certification.
