RareHighGrade Posted November 4, 2006 Share Posted November 4, 2006 Why does CGC still say that cover is Lou Fine, when it was done by George Tuska !!! That is an old CGC label. I believe that the discovery that the artist was Tuska occurred post-slabbing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ashrael Posted November 6, 2006 Share Posted November 6, 2006 Tough one! I would love to own both of those books at some point, but the fact that the Weird is tougher (and the Church copy) puts it over the top. Weird 1. Agreed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
showcase4 Posted November 10, 2006 Author Share Posted November 10, 2006 Both of these high grade Romance books sold for approx. $2,100. Which one would you choose? .......or I will be the 1st to admit I know little about the Romance genre, so I can not choose intelligently for myself, but I do like all the skin that is showing on the "D" copy Forbidden Love Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

OK, OK....I tried to show some diversity....but if it's Superheros you want, then it's Superheros you get ! Both of these drop dead gorgeous killers sold for around $72,000. Which one would you choose? ........or Im taking the Torch #1 ! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Silver Surfer Posted November 11, 2006 Share Posted November 11, 2006 Tough call being a Timley collector myself but I suspect the More Fun has more upside long term and it is a Church copy. If it wasn't I'd probably go with the Torch. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ciorac Posted November 11, 2006 Share Posted November 11, 2006 Even though I am a DC guy, I would go with the Torch on this one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Filter81 Posted November 11, 2006 Share Posted November 11, 2006 This one is easy in my opinion. That More Fun Mile High sold for almost $25,000 less than the Rockford copy More Fun 53 sold for a few months earlier. The Mile High More Fun 53 should be worth considerably more than it sold for in my opinion. If that book ever somehow hit the market today at $72,000 I would buy it myself. The Human Torch, I'd probably wait and pay half as much for a 9.0 copy or something. The Human Torch is a cool book but there's only one Church More Fun 53.

You'd probably know better than me about books of that price point, but thee 53 just carries a stigma of being over-priced to me. Over the years it seemed to follow it like a dark cloud. I bought a fairly high grade copy once that I barely escaped from with my life. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I bought a fairly high grade copy once that I barely escaped from with my life. Thats really funny that you'd say that. When I was looking at buying a More Fun 53 in San Diego this summer, I had a friend of mine (who knows a lot more about comics than I do) tell me to be careful because More Fun 53 has always been an overpriced book in guide. I thought he was mistaken because I've always seen More Fun 53s sell for guide or over. But he said almost word for word what you just did. Am I overvaluing More Fun 53? Or did it used to sell for under guide but now that has changed? (I've only been collecting for a few years so often I will lack a long-term perspective) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thedude Posted November 12, 2006 Share Posted November 12, 2006 I'll take the More Fun #53, a 9.6 WHITE Edgar Church book, would be an incredible book to have, plus I like the cover better. (sorry Torch and Toro) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thedude Posted November 12, 2006 Share Posted November 12, 2006 (edited) Here's one, (haven't played this game yet), both of these books sold this year (2006) for almost the same amount, around $8K , $211 dollar difference between the selling prices. both books are currently the highest graded copy. and you must choose one, a swift kick to the groin is not an option this time. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Anyone who knows me, KNOWS which one I'd choose.
