Ozonetv Posted March 9, 2023 Share Posted March 9, 2023 (edited) Doing some research for an old friend...how would you value a Superman 1 thats missing a cover and the first 2 wraps, plus a couple separated and detached wraps. The centerfold is still attached. Bonus question - would you sell as-is, grade pages or wraps individually....or put a repro cover on and go for an NG?

I say the centerfold is worth a lot. thedude, Ozonetv and Chicago Boy 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thedude Posted March 10, 2023 Share Posted March 10, 2023 I would definitely sell as individual pages. I know I'd be bidding on a few Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I know I'd be bidding on a few I concur, individual pages would likely be best way to go. But if you did want to sell as a whole just list in the sales forum and I’m sure you’ll attract some buyers there. @Ozonetv Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LDarkseid1 Posted March 10, 2023 Share Posted March 10, 2023 (edited) For a hot second I actually thought this was my copy I sold many years ago at auction, deslabbed. Very similar with the parts missing, but not the same. Also obviously mine was missing the centerfold. Edited March 10, 2023 by LDarkseid1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I haven’t seen a coverless Superman 1 sell in a while. So just no clue what the worth would be at the moment. My copy above sold for $6600.

Yorick Posted March 22, 2023 Share Posted March 22, 2023 (edited) There are a couple "coverless" on Comiclink, ended two days ago. You can still check the results if you sign-in there. Edited March 22, 2023 by Yorick screenshot Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sauce Dog Posted March 23, 2023 Share Posted March 23, 2023 Honestly, I would separate the centrefold wrap from the rest of the book and have the two slabbed separately. The people who would bid on this book are those either trying to complete an existing copy and only want the CF, or are those who are trying to get whatever copy of the book they can afford (and don't care about completeness anyways) - so might as well split it up now so you can do two sales for most likely more money overall.

Oh that’s cool that you got my copy! Just so you know those pages aren’t slightly brittle or at least that’s how I felt. One wrap was detached, and that wrap was slightly brittle, but the rest of the book was truthfully pretty nice. So I think it would get cream to off white or better if not for that separated wrap.

Grendel72 Posted March 23, 2023 Share Posted March 23, 2023 Thanks. Yes, I agree. Think was unfortunate to get that PQ. Great copy regardless. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah it was a bummer. Looking back I definitely regretted not just keeping the additional wrap or selling separately lol. Congrats again though 🙌. Any Supes 1 is great to own!

gadzukes Posted March 24, 2023 Share Posted March 24, 2023 (edited) I hate to say this but, because it sounds blasphemous but.... you will make the most by separating wraps or pages and selling individually. Your centerfold looks to be in great shape. By itself it will sell for a lot. There are lots of people looking for Supe 1 centers. Or..... you can bide your time and try to complete a coverless copy. At this point in time I don't think a cover can be found. If your friend wants to keep it, then maybe go after a nice repro cover and get the NG grade Edited March 24, 2023 by gadzukes Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
