I bid on the trimmed 5.0, but it left me in the dust. It's a sharp copy and the trimming is minor.....wouldn't have minded getting it.GOD BLESS...

I wish I could afford it.....as much as I love the FF, I never owned a # 1.I was kind of hoping the restored book would go for around $ 1000 since it was trimmed. I really am starting to see some regular acceptance of resto books at half guide. I want a copy I can afford but can be deslabbed for mylar.....nothing that would fall apart. How much is your 5.0 ? Did you pick up anything in the auction? GOD BLESS...

The FF 7 at $ 2900 in 9.0 really surprised me....while the steal of the early ones was probably the 17.....such a tough book in grade.GOD BLESS...

Didn't you just get a 5.0 FF #1?

You posted a great story about acquiring it.....right?

I was blown away by the 20K it took to win the FF6... didnt see that coming!

 

Surprised me too.....but I can't remember the last time I saw a 9.4 change hands. I was expecting 12....maybe 15. These first year FF's are just so much more scarce than almost any of the other Marvels. If it's got the 12 cent price in a circle, and you want high grade you need deep pockets....but I'm preaching to the choir here.When it was stalled at 7700 I thought it might be the steal of the auction....I should know by now lol GOD BLESS...

Jimbo your right, I don't think I can recall when I've seen a #5 CGC 9.4 even for sale in the last 5 years? White pages, what a beautiful book. Considering the CC #5 went for $48,000 just recently, maybe $20,000 isn't too hard to imagine. I use to think high grade #2's were hard to find but there have been a lot of copies that have changed hands over the last year. $35,000 for the #12 CGC 9.4 and $10,000 for the CGC 9.0 copy. I tell you if I owned that 9.0 I would be very tempted to try a resub for a 9.2 and double my money.

FF 12 is such a classic book....people make fun of me over my high predictions, but I thought the FF 12 (9.4) went cheaply....I figured 40 K. You're right about FF 2, I think every highgrade copy has changed hands recently.....I'm ready to see what an FF 3 in 9.4 would do....I bet it would hit a serious record. I doubt Doug will sell his anytime soon. GOD BLESS...

Jim,

FF#3 in 9.4 is easily a $40K book. Easily. A FF#5 in 9.4 would probably fetch $75-100K

 

Too bad we will probably never see them up for auction.

 

Speaking of auctions,

I was laughing at the fact in this CL auction that a reasonably common non-key like 9.2 #43 finished with a higher hammer price than the 9.2 #52 ($716 vs.$700) a key book. :shrug:
