Bonds25 Posted June 1, 2009 Share Posted June 1, 2009 This has gotten bad...... neither. Who was foolish enough to spend so much for any of these ? Tops $100 to 200, I wouldn't give beyond that even if the spidey was a 10.0 Obviously I knew everyone would choose the EC over the Spider-Man. Can't believe a 55 year old book in 9.6 condition garnered the same price as a 20 year old Spider-Man which would have sold for about $100 in 9.8 condition. And I'd be "foolish" enough to spend $1.5x guide on the Vault of Horror. What do you think it should have sold for?? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
showcase4 Posted June 1, 2009 Author Share Posted June 1, 2009 Both sold within the past 18 months for $28,000! Which one would you choose, and why? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Silver Surfer Posted June 1, 2009 Share Posted June 1, 2009 My first reaction is neither. BUT if I had cash coming out of my ying yang I would lean towards the Adventure. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MrBedrock Posted June 2, 2009 Share Posted June 2, 2009 I've always been of the impression that FC 386 is a relatively common book. Obviously a 9.4 is rare, but when that sold it was considered a staggering amount at the time. And I would say it still is. Plus, if any book has the potential to have multiple high grade copies yet to be slabbed, FC 386 would be at or near the top of the list. How many old time Barks collectors would ever consider having their collections slabbed. Their heirs might slab them to sell them, but not the collectors.

october Posted June 2, 2009 Share Posted June 2, 2009 its time for two new books to choose from, dont you all think? Both just sold for $2,150 in the latest Heritage auction. Which would you choose? Amazing Spider-Man #219 CGC 9.9 - guides for $12 in Overstreet Vault of Horror #13 CGC 9.6 Gaines File Copy - guides for $1675 So utterly, insanely stupid. $2.1k for that manufactured collectible drek. Um. Let me think. I'll go with the EC and pull a 9.0 of the Spidey out of a dollar bin at the next convention. I'll take the Scrooge too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MCMiles Posted June 2, 2009 Share Posted June 2, 2009 Adventure #66. As much as I love Barks, I really love Burnley, especially the Starman covers. Plus it's the Church copy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Plus it's the Church copy. +1 +2! +3 yup, adventure for me too. now if only I can decide between the MF 52 or the tec 27 . for investment reasons, i'll go with the tec. but as a collector, i'd want the MF, mainly due to the unrestored factor.
