SteveLRoberts5 Posted June 18, 2005 Share Posted June 18, 2005 Can someone on the boards please grade this Marvel Mystery 54. Also, do you think it's worthwhile having it certified by CGC? I'm interested in selling the book. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SteveLRoberts5 Posted June 18, 2005 Share Posted June 18, 2005 I scanned it again to get the Schonburg credit on the left bottom corner. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Apotheosis Posted June 18, 2005 Share Posted June 18, 2005 It's garbage... you may as well just give it to me. $5 should do it... Seriously... nice book. Wish I could afford it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rjpb Posted June 18, 2005 Share Posted June 18, 2005 I think it would be worth slabbing for resale. If the back cover is as nice as the front it should grade at least 6.0- probably higher - the rounded corners being the drawback - it also looks like it has some poorly cut interior pages with a ragged edge that sticks over the top - not all that rare with GA books I guess - i don't know how CGC considers the inevitable tears on those when grading. My feeling is that any GA book that grades better than VG and is worth at least $400 probably benifits from resto detection if nothing else when being slabbed and will make buyers that much more comfortable throwing out a bid.

Larryw7 Posted June 18, 2005 Share Posted June 18, 2005 It feels almost surreal to actually own a copy of this book, even in this condition: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Larryw7 Posted June 18, 2005 Share Posted June 18, 2005 I got it from Four Color Comics(Rob Rogovin). It cost around a grand. I would have never been able to afford it otherwise. I may get it restored. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thegoldenage Posted June 19, 2005 Share Posted June 19, 2005 That Suspense 3 is a beater, but still a way cool book. I need an incomplete copy to go with my coverless! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rjpb Posted June 23, 2005 Share Posted June 23, 2005 Congrats Deathlok - are these your first GA books ever? How are the stories in the Super Duck - the title was a favorite of R. Crumb when he was a kid and I've wondered if they have any charm. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

*paull* Posted June 23, 2005 Share Posted June 23, 2005 Holy c r a p ... a grand for the Suspense #3? Even in the condition it's in, I still think that's a good deal. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
deathlok Posted June 23, 2005 Share Posted June 23, 2005 Congrats Deathlok - are these your first GA books ever? How are the stories in the Super Duck - the title was a favorite of R. Crumb when he was a kid and I've wondered if they have any charm. I've bought a couple Ga books but nothing noteworthy, mostly a couple horror titles like Web of Mystery, etc. This is my first foray into more notable titles/covers. I just bought the Gerber Photojournal, so I'm sure I will be posting more in the GA forum. I haven't had a chance to look inside either book. I was so excited about them I scanned them and posted them quickly. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
