I was happy you bid as you did.

You don't like logging on, having to reset the page after it autoscrolls, then waiting 15 seconds to reset the display from 20 books to 100, then scrolling through 5 pages of really clunky and slow UI, having to make a bunch of extra clicks to watch books, then repeat that all over again for the next section in the auction?

June '53

Love it!

He's admitted to shilling.

He's alive!

You're a seasoned collector who has been around and active for a long time. Unfortunately that means that you're looking for things that don't come up very often and therefore have increased competition. There are some assumptions there, but that's part of what I notice when I'm bidding on stuff.

May '53. The War 19 clearly had Burgos' treatment to the face.

Truth. "A fool and his money..."

So it's exactly what HA said in the description:

You see what it took for anyone to care about FTX despite all the blatant signs. No way anyone cares about RR.

Outstanding Toth in this one.

You were until Covid hit. Now it's all shut down

Thanks. The twice up stuff doesn't come around very often (only 8 other war pages in the HA archives, and only one splash! ), so despite it being a lot at once I would imagine the demand is there for the public. I targeted 4 and batted 1.000. I thought I had to step up to the plate for one, but I figured it was the best of the lot. The others were about what I would have guessed they would be stickered on a reasonable dealer's wall.

I was almost exclusively interested in the Russ Heath art and everything sold for right about what I thought it should go for. It's not the type of material that you see people go nuts for, but it's the type of bellwether material that reflects the normal market. Seems like nature is healing itself.

And the new money was going for SA & what's cool on IG. It takes a real stick in the mud to like GA DC

I'm kind of an alchemist. I get people to change liquids into solids. It's worth more than gold.

That's my realm

April 53. This cover is just outrageous. Everything about it is great.

Or become a urologist.

It almost seemed like a normal GA market with the exception of a couple of Captain Americas.

March 1953

She's absolutely awful, but I'm enjoying the series otherwise. Low expectations probably have something to do with that.

My daughter got her driver's permit yesterday and we had the conversation about this. The best way to learn something is to do it. Accept you'll make mistakes, but mitigate those and accept them as part of the process.
