Silver Surfer Posted August 24, 2009 Share Posted August 24, 2009 I sure hope it hits $100K but if issue #1 hits this plateau then surely the #4 CGC 9.6 in Pedigree's auction has to be in the same company. Cap's SA return, to me, is pretty much on par with the other Marvel keys in that era. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aman619 Posted August 24, 2009 Share Posted August 24, 2009 the logic is there.... Both books have equal amounts of longterm inertial colon clogging negativeness around them, that has only recently been jettisoned in their new guise at Super Hot books! theres often nothing more desireable than a book nobody really wants, that suddenly heats up, and now EVERYBODY wants one at any price! Look at Showcase 22. These are the 2009 poster children for the Every Dog Has His Day award! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mackenzie999 Posted August 24, 2009 Share Posted August 24, 2009 Avengers 4 reprints? Besides the Gold Record version, was #4 ever reprinted in Marvel Tales or someplace similar? I just snagged a nice slabbed #4 and I'd like to pick up a cheap reader copy but GRRs are more than I care to spend. Avengers Special (annual) #3 Avengers: Classic #4 Marvel Milestone Edition: Avengers #4 May be a few others. thanks man! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sassemble Posted August 25, 2009 Share Posted August 25, 2009 And the Pedigree #4 CGC 9.6 finished at $64,000. Almost makes me want to break open my 9.4 and resubmit ... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aman619 Posted August 26, 2009 Share Posted August 26, 2009 and the #1 went for 72K. Decent price as it will be 100K at some point. Plenty of upside left. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sassemble Posted August 26, 2009 Share Posted August 26, 2009 I believe the 9.4 #4 on comiclink finished just below $20G. After a couple of $20-25G sales, the market might be leveling off. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
namisgr Posted September 4, 2009 Share Posted September 4, 2009 Nice price realized for an Avengers #2 that seems to be sporting a few mild slab bruises: 9.8 copy sells (or trades) for $70,000 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
trmoore54 Posted September 4, 2009 Share Posted September 4, 2009 Where do you see the bruises? Top edge and lower right corner? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
namisgr Posted September 4, 2009 Share Posted September 4, 2009 Where do you see the bruises? Top edge and lower right corner? It's only a scan, and so must be taken with a grain of salt. I admit to worrying about the impact (pun intended) of encapsulation on super high-grade books, and this one caught my eye: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aman619 Posted September 4, 2009 Share Posted September 4, 2009 look pretty minor to me. thats a killer copy. First Space Phantom too!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It was some double size 90s book that showed the avengers 4 cover on the back cover, IIRC Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bronty Posted September 4, 2009 Share Posted September 4, 2009 Make that Cap 400 not avengers 400 : http://marvel.wikia.com/wiki/Comics:Captain_America_Vol_1_400 if you look at the story credits for the book you can see the last story is the avengers 4 story Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sassemble Posted September 15, 2009 Share Posted September 15, 2009 I'm in a panic. My CGC order is still in Verified but now I see that my Avengers #1 has a "TRIMMED" in the pedigree area and "Apparent SA" in another. I'm not an expert but would that mean its trimmed and what does "SA" mean? I was hoping for a 7.0 or better, now my $400 investment in 1990 looks to be going down the tubes. Any imput would be welcome. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sassemble Posted September 21, 2009 Share Posted September 21, 2009 Got some more bad/good news today. My books have been graded. The #1 that showed some restoration graded 5.0. My #3 graded at 9.0, which was disappointing since it came from the same batch as my 9.4 #4. However, my #6 graded at 9.4, so it wasn't a total loss.

I've said it before and I will say it now, guys that trim and colour touch and don't disclose when they sell are dirtbags. How many collectors quit the hobby in disgust after finding out this sort of thing? The good news is that you have a couple of big time books. #4 in 9.4 is a huge book and the #3 and #6 are sweet in that grade. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sassemble Posted September 21, 2009 Share Posted September 21, 2009 It's not going to get any better with collectors like me out there who are inexperienced at grading or don't open the books up much in order to keep them in the best condition. I've had that #1 for almost 20 years and I probably opened the bag and looked at it three or four times since I bought it. And it was worse with higher grade books. I bought them in 1993 and I doubt I opened them up more than twice. I guess the lesson is to stick with slabbed books until I'm educated further in the fine art of inspection. Oh well, My $750 investment in the #s 3,4 and 6 should be worth $25-30 grand now. Not bad. Now what to send in next? I've got a nice TTA #35 and an FF #12. I'll probably send in one of my #57s.I've got one that is probably at least 9.0 but then again, who knows! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
