BrooksR Posted June 6, 2021 Share Posted June 6, 2021 Picked this up at a comic shop last weekend. I know it’s nothing special but can you imagine finding ANY 12 cent marvel book for a dollar? jimjum12 and flashlites 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post Venomous72 Posted June 6, 2021 Popular Post Share Posted June 6, 2021 DC books are very cheap when compared to what their marvel counterparts are doing. Personally I am all for it as it lets me buy Flash and Green Lantern books without having to call my broker to free up ‘investment funds’ 😅 Tri-Color Brian, jimjum12, Mucheee1 and 4 others 6 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
innocuous Posted June 7, 2021 Share Posted June 7, 2021 Well, it seems they are. But, if a copy were 9.0 or higher and slabbed, $100! Congrats on the nice pick-ups BrooksR 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
john72tex Posted June 9, 2021 Share Posted June 9, 2021 You didn't buy that book at my store where I work. We'd have it at least $20-$30 depending on condition. BrooksR 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Roger66 Posted June 9, 2021 Share Posted June 9, 2021 There are a ton of common 12 cent comics both Marvel and DC that are really not worth much - your particular book might be a $10 or $20 book but many a collector might not even pay that since today it is all about keys, movie characters and cool covers. Right now you can buy this issue for $159 on ebay in a CGC 9.4, which speaks volumes about lower grade prices for it. Regardless if you love comics and love reading them - a dollar find like this is fun - enjoy my 2 cents https://www.ebay.com/itm/194154305273?hash=item2d347f96f9:g:f0oAAOSwoBRgq6F5 BrooksR 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mucheee1 Posted June 11, 2021 Share Posted June 11, 2021 Adjusted for inflation, you probably paid cover price, or close to it. BrooksR and thehumantorch 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tri-Color Brian Posted June 11, 2021 Share Posted June 11, 2021 (edited) 12 cent Superman's in the 200s are usually priced from $15 to $25 in mid-grade...more for high grade. I'd say you got a deal. When you get to the 20centers and above, I usually only pay 50 cents a book for high grade because they are as common as dirt. Where did you say this store is?

I know you’re joking but it was TFD Comics and Games in Alpharetta GA, I’m happy to send them some business 🙂 Tri-Color Brian 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shadroch Posted June 11, 2021 Share Posted June 11, 2021 I wish I could sell these books for $15-$25 in mid grade. I'd offer them for $5 and halfway thru the show reduce it to $3. These mid 1960s DCs sold in greater numbers than their Marvel compatriots and are in less demand. A perfect storm that may be a great opportunity for DC collectors.

I know it’s nothing special but can you imagine finding ANY 12 cent marvel book for a dollar? Depends on the store. I know at least one that likes to occasionally seed the dollar bins with good items. Best I got was probably a Fantastic Four #66 around 4.0 for a dollar, a few years ago. They're open very limited hours and space because Covid right now, so nothing from them in a while. But yes, I have no trouble imagining 12 cent marvel books for a dollar still. Probably not as nicely presenting as that Superman 211, though. BrooksR 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There is literally no marvel or dc silver age book I wouldn’t buy for a dollar 😄, even in terrible shape they’re awesome to me OtherEric and thehumantorch 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Generally only if a) I already have the book, or b) there are too many choices. Always fun when b) happens. BrooksR 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
