Amadeus Arkham Posted July 21, 2014 Share Posted July 21, 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 So I'd be better off selling raw? Is there demand for these books in a graded and slabbed state or are they more desirable raw? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

vaillant Posted July 21, 2014 Share Posted July 21, 2014 Thanks. It's weird; I was trying to get a gauge on value but I can't find them on ComicsPriceGuide.com. They have no value. Lapidary. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Is there demand for these books in a graded and slabbed state or are they more desirable raw? I think the idea is that if you aim to sell them, you are unlikely to be able to recover your grading fees. That is, the price for a graded copy is lower than the sum of the price of a raw copy plus the grading fees. The arrival of eBay torpedoed the value of mid-grade Classics Comics/Illustrated and most Dells. There were just far too many copies of these books out there. Getting anything near guide on them is tough. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BB-Gun Posted July 22, 2014 Share Posted July 22, 2014 (edited) why do only very few people collect GA Batman? They are rarely seen here imo I think some people see them as too common but many collectors on the boards are Timely collectors. I like 'em but my early issues are mostly incomplete.
