Crazy market indeed. I think I only paid a few hundred each for these back in the day......

Larger piece out ULBC.... I'd guess 2.0/2.5 . Can't have too many Tec 71s. Great book!

DM 9 is one of the tougher issues in the run.

My First Buy of 2018
I've been looking at this on Lone Star's website for some time now, finally decided to pull the trigger.
One of my favorite ECs. Nice purchase!

It is the same comic, perhaps he's consigning that copy there?
I've corresponded with the seller before and he seems on the up-and-up to me. His ebay feedback is spotless.
I thought the same thing so I called Metro and spoke with Anthony. Was told they have the Cap 1 in house there.

Nick Bridger's 9.8 is on ebay now. Sitting at $23,600 .
Not so sure his auctions are real. Take a look at his Captain America 1 that ends tomorrow. Its the same copy that Metro currently has for sale.

I was eyeing that all auction -- thought maybe it'd be a good deal until I saw it shoot out of my range today -- but later convinced myself to buy this:
Beautiful book and the original owner is still alive and doing fairly well in North Carolina. He bought this off the rack in Greenville, SC. PM me if you have any questions.

Very interesting, thanks for posting this here as well.

Had to bump this thread after the sale of the 4.5 copy on Heritage today. 93k seems pretty strong. https://comics.ha.com/itm/golden-age-1938-1955-/flash-comics-1-dc-1940-cgc-vg-45-cream-to-off-white-pages/a/7169-91036.s?ic4=ListView-ShortDescription-071515

You make an interesting observation. I can't recall if I've ever seen a ratty copy of this book (i.e. one that looked as if it was bought off of the news stand and well read). I've seen them with poor page quality but not ratty.
This book was put out by All-Negro Comics Inc located at 1310 Spruce St in Philadelphia. According to the editor's narrative inside the front cover "Every brush stroke and pen line in the drawings on these pages are by Negro artists." So this was a very esoteric book in price, production and most likely distribution. Also, it probably explains the 7 copies that were found in Philadelphia.
Surely this book, if it was distributed, could not have had very wide distribution. North East coast at best? Philadelphia only? Thoughts anyone?
Even if it did make news stands sales were obviously very poor given the content, price and the fact that there were no subsequent issues.
I've got 3 copies, one graded and two raw. All 3 of mine are low grade (G/Vg and lower). Its a scarce book, but no where near as rare as Negro Romance.

Got My CDNP 24
I get a rush from auctions. Especially counting down the last 90 seconds, judging when to place my final bid, seeing if my high bid is high enough. I don't gamble, but I think this auction rush must be similar to the excitement people get from Vegas or Atlantic City. Anyway, I got this feeling during this month's ComicLink auction. The story starts with last month's NYCC. I was trying to buy this 1.8 copy of CDNP 24. The dealer's price was $2000 and he was firm. I offered $1800 but the dealer wasn't considering any offers. I was actually tempted to take it for $2000, because this book is high on my want list and it's not offered very often. But by the end of the con I'd spent too much money on other things, so I couldn't justify paying high for this book.
Fast forward to this month's C-Link auction. This restored CDNP 24 was being offered. I don't mind restoration, especially a little glue or color touch. I realize from an investment point of view, the blue 1.8 has a higher ceiling than the purple 2.0. But I'm a collector not an investor, and CDNP 24 with the classic face burning cover was high on my want list.
Comparing the 1.8 to the 2.0, the 1.8 has major spine flaws. Otherwise though the 2 books are comparable. Except the 2.0 has a little glue on the spine (resulting in the purple label).
So, I decided to go after the R2.0, but still I was concerned about FMV given the restoration. I wasn't willing to pay $1800 (my offer for the 1.8) for the restored 2.0. At the end of the day, I got the restored 2.0 for $1600 (my high bid). I had one other win -- this Bobby Benson 14. I got it for $282. So essentially, I got both the CDNP 24 RCGC 2.0 and the Bobby Benson 14 for about the same price I was willing to pay for the CDNP 24 1.8. Thanks for reading.
Great job on the CDNP 24. Its one of the all time classics.

Beautiful copy Sqeggs. I've got most of the Hitler covers and imho its one of the top 5 hardest to find. Certainly tougher than RL 3, Great 3, Catman 20 and even my personal favorite Headline 8.

Nearing the end of our short journey
zip 33
Love that 33. My favorite in the run.

Love the Fights. That #4 is pretty!

Great stuff! What a good day so far, drinking my coffee and looking at this Zip run.

The 6.0? Colors and paper are nice but I don't see the grade going up with those old tape stains on the back cover. If you're referring to the 2.5, it has already been "improved." Used to be a 1.5.
Please grade this Air Ace V2 #2!
in Hey buddy, can you spare a grade?

I'd guess Conserved 3.0/3.5 (assuming staple replaced). Let me know if you need help checking the pages. I've got a raw one around and would be happy to help.
