Popular Post ThothAmon Posted November 28, 2023 Popular Post Share Posted November 28, 2023 (edited) Another that belonged to GA artist John Sikela. Tough book in grade from what I understand. As an edit, when I submitted for grading was hoping it might grade higher. Years later I wished I could have smuggled my copy in with the Promise books when they were graded.

Popular Post Math Teacher Posted December 2, 2023 Popular Post Share Posted December 2, 2023 Superman #53 CGC 2.0 from Instagram. I definitely overpaid for this book, especially since the same book in CGC 5.0 sold for $960 through Heritage Auctions on 11/19/2023. I had missed out on this book when it was last auctioned on ComicLink, and my "I really want to get this book" attitude led me astray. I must say, it definitely looks better than a CGC 2.0, as most of the not-so-nice stuff is on the back.

You got what you wanted at the time, and can't be concerned with what other copies since have sold for, B/C you got and have yours, and that's what's important.

I will say that in all my years in dealing with these, I have never seen that one. Very striking with nice colors and images. Seller is from Canada. Might have been made for that market. stormflora 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I personally don't think it's worth that much, and it probably wasn't even worth a tenth of that back in the day. I'm leaning towards impulsive bidding on some auction site which shot up its price, and now it's being parted off by the winner at a similarly high price to try to recoup some that cost. I'd pick it up for ~$500 CAD, but even that is a stretch for me already. I've seen other vintage fixtures and memorabilia of various things that are more significant than this, and they didn't cost nearly as much.

This is a rare one. I have a few vintage racks. They are just the cherry on the top to display old comics in your comic room. There is a comic rack thread in GA somewhere. You ought to post it there. stormflora 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What do vintage comic racks typically go for, anyhow? I have no knowledge of such a market myself. I'd consider buying one, if it wasn't too expensive. But knowing how cheap I am (and how space is a luxury), I'd probably settle for reusing some shipping box to hold the comics in I wasn't aware that there is a comic rack thread. I'll see if I can find it to repost in. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
