spookley Posted May 8, 2008 Share Posted May 8, 2008 It's definitely selling for more than low 30s. I guarantee it. Rick Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
spookley Posted May 8, 2008 Share Posted May 8, 2008 I guarantee it too. I wonder if 50K is out of the realm of possiblities. Like others have said before, if you have just 2 high-rollers that want the book... I don't see why it couldn't go for over $50K... I seem to remember a B&B 28 in high-grade going for somewhere in that ballpark... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
spookley Posted May 8, 2008 Share Posted May 8, 2008 Is anyone else having mixed emotions about the Toth books? It's great that there are such amazing early JLA's out there that look as fresh as some of my bronze age JLA's. But now I am getting tth2----itis. I look at the Toth 9.6 books and then my 9.0 books and..... I am reassessing my collection goals... JLA #1-100 in CGC 9.0 or better (which in itself will cost an arm and a leg) vs. collecting my favorite JLA covers in 9.4/9.6....I'm leaning toward the latter.... There may be some JLA's hitting the market.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
spookley Posted May 8, 2008 Share Posted May 8, 2008 Unfortunately, my entire collection is not worth anywhere near 50K...otherwise... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cheetah Posted May 10, 2008 Share Posted May 10, 2008 Just curious what you guys think a JLA #1 CGC 9.6 would sell for. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tth2 Posted May 10, 2008 Share Posted May 10, 2008 (edited) Just curious what you guys think a JLA #1 CGC 9.6 would sell for. If it looked deserving of the grade and was well centered, at least $50K. Edited May 10, 2008 by tth2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

frankiecastle Posted May 11, 2008 Share Posted May 11, 2008 i think cheetah is implying he's seen or owns it- after seeing his books, who can doubt him? and i'd weigh in w/ $60k and it'd make the guy that's buying toth's book a little sick to the stomach Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It is a very nice set, though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aman619 Posted May 11, 2008 Share Posted May 11, 2008 I think a handful of people would like to see a scan in the next 4 days .... if a 9/6 existed it might alter a few bids! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tth2 Posted May 11, 2008 Share Posted May 11, 2008 If there`s a 9.6 copy, it must have been slabbed within the last 10 days, because as of May 1, there was no 9.6 copy in the census. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cheetah Posted May 11, 2008 Share Posted May 11, 2008 I'm hoping to see the slabs on Wednesday and will take my camera. They are from the same collection as my TTA and TOS books I posted a couple of months ago. They got sold privately a few years back before I ever even knew they existed.

Aman619 Posted May 11, 2008 Share Posted May 11, 2008 are we all talking about a JLA#1 in 9.6? or some other copy? The existence of a 9.6 would greatly affect the 9.4 copies. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
qualitycomix Posted May 11, 2008 Share Posted May 11, 2008 JLA 1 9.6 would sell for over 60K. More like 65-70K. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cheetah Posted May 11, 2008 Share Posted May 11, 2008 JLA 1 1960 CGC 9.6 JLA 2 1961 CGC 9.6 JLA 3 1961 CGC 9.4 I didn't ask about PQ but would expect OW/W based on everything else in the collection. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aman619 Posted May 11, 2008 Share Posted May 11, 2008 okay, so the question now becomes louder: Does the emergence of these super high grade slabbed SA DC keys that many would have rightly begun to believe did not even exist suggest that there are even more out there? And if so how many? We've all answered the question before, so we know where we stand, but as Shakespeare/Hamlet said: THAT is the question1 9.6 JLA #1 ! the mind boggles.

cheetah Posted May 11, 2008 Share Posted May 11, 2008 I know this collection has the highest graded copies of a number of Tales of Suspense and Tales to Astonish. It has a truly staggering number of UHG Mad Magazines and Cracked Magazines. Really sad when you figure that AF 15 was issued in the same time period as the rest of the collection. They could have picked up 3-4 AF 15 and ASM 1 but instead loaded up on 35-40 Mads and Crackeds. Still I can't see this story as being so unusual as to prevent it happening hundreds of times elsewhere. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
