$100k a bit steep?

Does that look like a 9.2 to any of you?Spine dings, corners dinged, upper edge dinged...

 

9.2?

Yes, it looks like other silver age 9.2s I've owned. It looks almost as nice as the White Mountain copy of Amazing Fantasy #15 CGC 9.4.

Age bump...dont forget there is no real, true "grade" on these books, it all depends on how old the book is that gives it its final so-called "grade"

[Issa]

I would settle for mid-grade because of the digs. My $3,000 Hulk#1 CGC 5.0 looks almost as bright and has some chipping on the cover (also signed by Stan Lee). Regardless, I doubt this book will get the same 9.2 grade if it gets regraded. What's up with that? :-\

Donald;

 

I believe Foolkiller is referring to your suggestion that the book may have been pressed and resubmitted.

 

His comment probably indicates that pressing and resubbing should be considered to be a given when it comes to high end slabbed books such as these. Comes with the territory when you play in this corner of the sandbox.

 

Certainly not something I necessarily agree with however.

Last copy sold for more than $60k according to CL...

 

I personally think $100k is a bit steep but you are talking to someone whose purchases are on average $100. Can't play on that level.

 

This is a grail for many...supply and demand...personally for that money I'd rather go for a nice TEC 27 or Action 1 or Superman 1.

This book is still in Doug's vault on the Pedigree website. From this, we learn that:

 

- the book sold for $75K in 2004

- the book is in the same holder as then

- the book is gorgeous (looks every bit a 9.2 from the scan on Pedigree)

 

Northland early Marvels are ...

[evilsly]

I can't think of any other silver age marvel key as rare as this in 9.2 or higher.
