mrmyst Posted July 17, 2014 Share Posted July 17, 2014 I thought you got a very nice deal on that book. I thought so too. Was expecting to have to bid strong but I got lucky I guess. ComicLink Focused auctions probably don't garner that much attention. Actually a lot - but by no means all of course - of the GA in the Focused Auctions has done well, including record prices here and there. I thought that 37 would go much higher.

nearmint Posted July 19, 2014 Share Posted July 19, 2014 I posted a bad CGC scan of this recent acquisition in the Superman thread a few weeks ago, but here's a more respectable scan. Bought it raw off eBay, so I was a bit nervous, but it turned out to be a bargain. Makes for good bookends with my Action #54 CGC 8.0! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Amadeus Arkham Posted July 20, 2014 Share Posted July 20, 2014 Could you guys give me a hand and help me identify the sports books? I found the Corsican and the Walt Disney books, but I can't ID the other ones. Thanks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Amadeus Arkham Posted July 20, 2014 Share Posted July 20, 2014 I'm still getting a good price on the Donald Duck and Corsican Brothers books. Craigslist pick-ups that will be sent to Joey for some squishing. Hoping beyond hope to eek a 5.0 out of the Donald. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Earthshaker01 Posted July 20, 2014 Share Posted July 20, 2014 Amadeus Arkham, Take it from a guy that knows Disney and Dell comics. I am not sure what squishing consists of, but pressing the book will do little to help condition based on photos. It will be at best a 4.5 likely a 3.5. Take the money you would waste on pressing this book and buy one like the one listed below. It will give you an idea of how even a better quality WDCS of the same volume price low in comparison to price guide values. When it comes to old Disney and Dell stuff, if the comics aren't extreme NM the value is not there for anything less. There is huge demand for Dell/Disney, but only at the high grade. Anything less than that has no demand, hence no value. That set aside there is demands for any grade WDCS of volume #1 and maybe Volume #2. http://www.ebay.com/itm/WALT-DISNEYS-COMICS-AND-STORIES-60-VOLUME-5-12-SEPT-1945-DONALD-DUCK-/171372381994?pt=US_Comic_Books&hash=item27e697072a Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
