Deals.
Check out some of the great deals people have been scooping up lately:
Superman #130, DC Comics, (7/59), graded by CGC at 4.0 with Cream to Off White pages sold for $36.00 on Comic Link on December 17th. Overstreet price guide value for this comic at 4.0 is $76.00. This comic book sold for 47.4% of Overstreet guide value. Not even the second appearance of Krypto could save this one. I still think it’s a great deal for the buyer though.
Tales of Suspense #40, Marvel Comics, (4/63), graded by CGC at 4.0 with White pages sold on Comic Link for $218.00 on December 17th. Overstreet price guide value for this comic at 4.0 is $304.00. This comic book sold for 71.7% of Overstreet guide value. The second Iron Man appearance sells for a bargain 6 months before the Iron Man 2 movie release. Cheap!
All Star Western #10, DC Comics, (2-3/72), graded by CGC at 6.0 with Off White pages sold on Comic Link for $105.00 on December 15th. Overstreet price guide value for this comic at 6.0 is $105.00. Lots of hype on this book as the build up to the movie picks up. I think Hex will be a much more mainstream character post movie and thus think paying guide for this book is a good buy.
Avengers #57, Marvel Comics, (10/68), graded by CGC at 4.0 with Cream to Off White Pages sold on Comic Link for $17.00 on December 15th. Overstreet price guide value for this comic at 4.0 is $28.00. This comic book sold for 60.7% of Overstreet guide value. Graded Marvel keys at 60% guide are a collectors dream.
Batman #234, DC Comics, (9/71), graded by CGC at 6.0 with Off White to White Pages sold on Comic Link for $25.00 on December 15th. Overstreet price guide value for this comic at 6.0 is $45.00. This comic book sold for 55.5% of Overstreet guide value. The shipping and grading for this comic costs more than $25.00. A steal!
Fantastic Four #5, Marvel Comics, (9/62), graded by CGC at 4.0 with Off White to White Pages sold on Comic Link for $625.00 on December 15th. Overstreet price guide value for this comic at 4.0 is $770.00. This comic book sold for 81.1% of Overstreet guide value. Not counting super hero keys this is the biggest Silver Age Marvel comic there is! A 4.0 on this book is a solid enough grade and I think this is a smart buy.
Amazing Spider-Man #128, Marvel Comics, (1/74), graded by CGC at 9.2 with White Pages sold on Comic Link for $44.00 on December 15th. Overstreet price guide value for this comic at 9.2 is $85.00. This comic book sold for 51.7% of Overstreet guide value. Vulture Appearance! How does a 20 cent Amazing Spider-Man graded 9.2 with White Pages sell for ½ guide? I wish I knew about this one.
Strange Tales #101, Marvel Comics, (10/62), graded by CGC at 3.0 with Off White to White Pages sold on Comic Link for $94.00 on December 17th. Overstreet price guide value for this comic at 3.0 is $156.00. This comic book sold for 60.2% of Overstreet guide value. This comic is considered on of the early 60s Marvel Keys! A great pick up for the buyer.
In my opinion Boxing Day specials came early for all the winning bidders of the above auctions.
