For those that can't or are too lazy to sign in, the slightly restored VF+ copy went for 833 the unrestored F+ went for 1380.

Thanks for the help guys.

 

Lets use a specific example here, so I can get a more definite value. Take the MM 29 with moderate to extensive resto. I would put it at App. VF, and unrestored guide in that grade is $1294. What would you put this one at then? $400? $500?

 

$500 at the top end. The trimmed Cap 8 is probably a $300-400 book, mainly because of the trimming. I had a restored 3.5 Cap 6 (with moderate restoration) that sold for $350 18 months ago, if that helps.

It does help. It's proving much tougher than expected to find accurate data points. The Heritage archives only have a handful of extensively restored Timelys, and none in 7.5, 8.0 or 8.5.

October,

I have a larger number of Timely books in my collection and can provide a direct datapoint and an indirect datapoint. The direct datapoint is a unrestored CGC 4.0 MM 29 that purchased for $600 on ebay a couple of months ago. I also have a high grade extensively restored MM 19 that I purchased from Metro for $525. The book looks like a 9.4. Hope that helps.

That does help. Thanks!
