PeterPark Posted May 29, 2021 Share Posted May 29, 2021 So the LCS has this copy for sale. Its the second highest universal behind a lone 7.0 and is tied with a Billy Wright copy. There is a qualified 9.0 out there and a restored 7.5 out there as well. What would a good price and sales venue be for this book? Obviously it is very rare and this is especially true in this grade, but when GPA is almost non-existent, even for surrounding issues, how do you go about pricing? He'd rather sell to a collector because the market for tough early DC's at this level is much smaller. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tth2 Posted May 30, 2021 Share Posted May 30, 2021 I can't imagine trying to sell this book anywhere other than Heritage or ComicConnect. As you say, it's a tough book with a niche customer base, and those two auction houses are best able to tap into that customer base.

bpc3qh Posted May 30, 2021 Share Posted May 30, 2021 Yeah this seems like Heritage's bread and butter. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Beautiful copy from Hake's! I picked up a couple Adventures from that collection. Wish I would've bought a few more! Sqeggs 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Professor K Posted May 30, 2021 Share Posted May 30, 2021 (edited) "You shot me. You shot me right in the arm". Awesome 7.0. So hard to believe only 11 Blue labels out there. Edited May 30, 2021 by Professor Chaos Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah, but most of those pre-Bats are crazy tough to find even in mid-grade. Given how GA prices have shot to the moon lately, when these books do come to market, they don't quite as well as I would expect, given their rarity.
