Item History & Price

Information:
Reference Number: Avaluer:1866187Publisher: MLJ
Original Description:
 Archie Comics #1 from Winter, 1942-43.INCOMPLETE (missing centerfold); otherwise Good condition with supple off-white to white pages. Covers detached from interior. A few pieces missing from covers (at the staples middle spine, near top right front cover corner, and top front cover spine). 1" vertical tear by bottom front cover spine. Multiple tiny tears to several cover edges. Slight spine roll to book. Small horizontal tear through book at middle spine (just above the single st...aple), average size is about a half-inch on each page. Center most wrap is tight at the staple; prior ten or so pages have a single diagonal tear near the lower right, which starts as a 1/2" on the later pages and gets slightly larger as you get further away from center wrap to a maximum size of about 1" on just a couple of pages. Small 1/4" tear in same area of first several pages on the back half of the interior pages.Overall this is a very solid (albeit it incomplete due to the missing centerfold) "Good" copy of this Golden Age classic! This book would very likely come back as a 2.0/2.5 green label (incomplete) if sent in to CGC for grading. I have submitted a few similar Archie #1’s over the years (all of which had detached covers), and this copy is nicer than a 2.0 copy that I sent in a few years ago, so I’m confident that CGC would grade it no worse than 2.0. Book is 100% unrestored.This book has significantly shot up in value over recent years and now finds itself firmly planted in the Top 20 Golden Age Comics in Overstreet (currently ranked #20, with a top Guide value of $195, 000). A low grade set of just front/back covers brought nearly $3, 000 at auction in 2014; and last year, a heavily restored CBCS .5 (also missing the centerfold) sold for $5, 600. A comparable complete copy would easily be a $20, 000+ book; this is your chance to get a beautiful copy at a discounted price.Overstreet Price Guide GD value (for the complete comic): $12, 550. Terms (updated Nov. 2018):*U.S. Bidders: Shipping will be just $5.00 for the first item won; if you win any additional items in a given week, they will ship together for free. I realize that $5 for a single comic can be a bit high in some cases, but if you are able to take advantage of the combined shipping rate and pay just $5 total shipping for a multi-item order, it is a really great deal.All of my comics are bagged & boarded and shipped between sturdy pieces of cardboard in crush-proof cardboard boxes. I take pride in wrapping everything very securely and commonly receive messages from satisfied buyers complimenting my packing skills. If you buy from me, I promise that your items will arrive safely and exactly as I have described them.*International Bidders: If you are in Canada, it is $10 shipping for the first item that you purchase and an additional $1 per item after that. So if you buy two comics, the shipping cost would be $11 total; three comics would be $12 total shipping (and so on). If you are in the United Kingdom or Australia, it is $15 shipping for the first item that you purchase and an additional $1 per item after that.*All Bidders: Items will be shipped within 24 hours of receiving cleared payment. Tracking information will be emailed to you once item(s) ship.Satisfaction guaranteed; if you are not 100% satisfied with any purchase, it can be returned within 30 days for a full refund of purchase price and return shipping.Feedback will automatically be left after you have left feedback for me; this tells me that you have received the item and are satisfied.Thank you for participating in my auctions and good luck!
