  • I noticed a huge price jump since the death of the great Stan Lee on Golden age Captain America #3 which is the First comic book Stan Lee worked on yet no change on Comic Book Realm. Prices on this book really went way up yet no change on here. Any reason why the price stays the same on here? One that was restored to a 6.0 sold for over $20,000 on heritage auction weeks ago and I have seen insane prices lately for that rare comic book.

  • Where is a Raw 9.4 listed for sale at $46,000 ? Please let me know, that is a steal for Stan lees first work and being the 2nd highest graded on record for that
    rare book. I would be a buyer at that price. I was just stating that a restored 6.0 went for $22,000+ and comic realm has a value of a unrestored 6.0 at $13,800 seems to be way off since the death of Stan Lee.

  • Those numbers were accrued thru Overstreet. That is the only place that a proper amount of samples could have been used in making a price. Granted i agree with their newer book pricing to be outdated (simply because its only 1 publication a year, among other reasons), but for older books, they are a great source...books like these dont change much over the years, gradually and mostly incremental gains...but there are a few exceptions (this being one of the books) where a very old book gains interest and value. Typically every 5 years or so we will update our older core pricing, but books like that dont typically get a bump other than an age value bump.

    And to be honest, i for some reason thought i was in the corrections needed forum, not the general forum, so i thought you were asking for us to increase the value...hence my first response lol.
