KPR Comics Posted June 17 Share Posted June 17 Wondering what people think the market value is for late bronze complete color guides. I’ve got a few Iron Man complete books. This isn’t a sales pitch. Really just wondering Thanks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CGs are gaining in popularity every day, but generally the covers sell the highest unless it’s a key issue. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MAY1979 Posted June 17 Share Posted June 17 (edited) Color Guides or Color Separations? Reason I ask is most dealers use the same term purposely and wrongly for the seperations. Some collectors also use the term wrongly but in their case without malice, merely assuming term is catch all.. Edited June 17 by MAR1979 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KPR Comics Posted June 17 Author Share Posted June 17 Thanks JJJ. I wish I owned 150 or 128 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MAY1979 Posted June 18 Share Posted June 18 (edited) When you have the chance, a few pics will make it easy. Separations have very low demand in comparison to guides and go for a fraction of the estimated prices provided in this thread by others.

comiconxion Posted June 18 Share Posted June 18 I remember owning these back in the day... picked them up from a dealer who had a bunch of Bob Sharen guides. I'm sure they've gone up since I sold them, but I vaguely remember selling them from a few hundred bucks per complete guide. Now maybe $1000+?

No, I was probably in the Washington DC area when I sold them over 12 years ago. That's also where I picked them up. They may have changed hands a few times since then.
