Can a book's rarity work against it....in regards to its value?

Can you post a link to the Green Giant 1?

 

You don't know how to search Heritage listings?

For some reason I couldn't get it to show up in the search. Now I need to see if it is the 8.0 that sold once before!

It is the same one. Should be interesting to see. My guess is it will go outside my price range.

BTW, Thanks for posting a link.

Certainly an interesting book, but it will be interesting to see if it's the type of item someone is willing to pour a lot of $$$ into (I'd be perfectly happy with a nice VG).

 

Nice pic, Sean - funny, the Pay Copy Silver Streak 1 just sold, Stephen Ritter has the Allentown Wonder 1 up for sale, and the Green Giant is now on the block

 

And I'm waiting for you to set up shop again one day!

yes....great point Steve. As a collector who previously focused on buying and selling rare and obscure GA books, I can tell you 1st hand that rarity is a completely seperate issue from demand.

 

About 14 years ago I was thrilled to find and buy a VG/F copy of 'Thrilling Adventures in Stamps V1#8' ...listed, and appropriately so, as very rare in the OPG. After about 2 years, I decided to sell...I hyped it up with a great description and great pics on eBay in a 10 day featured auction....and it brought about $500 ( I paid $450 ).

 

I realize Green Giant is in a completely different league than Thrilling Adventures in Stamps, but my point is the same......it takes limited supply AND high demand for any comic or collectible to sell for big bucks.

 

I am not very familiar with Green Giant Comics, even though I have known of it and have seen the cover before........it is obviously very rare, and has alot of cool features.....according to the OPG ---published by Funnies, Inc. who also published MPFW, and contains 5 pages reprinted from MPFW. Distrubted only in N.Y., similar to MPFW which was only distributed in Boston area movie theatres, but..........MPFW contains the origin and 1st printed appearance of The Sub-Mariner.

 

How strong might the demand be for this high grade copy of Green Giant Comics
