So how much should I pay for this beater?

Suspense

 

Complete, beat, probably kinda brittle on the edges.....but still a classic cover that might look good in a beater slab graded 0.5

Toughie to put a price on that, but here's something comparable if you want a pair of beaters!

[Comicdey]

Thanks....although the 11 is missing pages....

A CGC 1.5 was recently listed (and unsold) on eBay for about $450. In my opinion, this copy is worth maybe $150 max. The Suspense books usually have brittle spines. I would expect this copy to have a cover that is heavily taped or fully detached.

[Comicdey]

It's taped and it's $90.

 

Whatcha think???

[topofthetotem]

Buy it for $75.

$90 sounds like a fair price if you really want it. You probably won't find a cheaper copy with most of the front cover still intact.

IMO $75 max

 

I like the book but I see it enough to think it's not so scarce I need to snap it up when it gets offered. I think I saw at least 2, maybe 3 copies of it at Heroes and a few other issues of Suspense as well.

If the front image is relatively good, I wouldn't mind having a copy like that for $90. I overpaid for my copy... the pages and cover are overall in nice condition, but the spine is somewhat brittle.

 

I have a beater Startling Terror Tales #11 also. I'm fine with beater books that I'm only seeking because of a great cover.

I think it would look even better in a nice mylar.

[Comicdey]

doesn't matter now as someone else bought it.....

 

it was a good deal, and I wouldn't be surprised if it was a boarder.....

 

ok with me.......

You'll find another. Suspense 8s with detached covers are not that uncommon.
