  1. See that one is a good example of what I mean about all these invisible women. I kept asking myself for years, like, why did that giant lizard drop the coffee pot?
  2. I have it on good authority that there are women on these covers as well. [I know, hard to spot, right?]
  3. Yes folks, this is the real reason I love Planet Comics. It's the lizards.
  4. That's one hot reptile (took me years to realize there was a woman in heels on the cover)
  5. I too feel compelled to post - but in my case it's less envy, more inadequacy, surrounded on all sides by glorious pedigrees. Okay, it's envy. It's both envy and inadequacy.
  6. Before I saw they were missing from the auction I thought for sure my two highest graded would get knocked off their precarious perch.
  7. Thanks for doing that Zolne! Extraordinary divergence in hammer prices. Some have sold for scarcely more than non-ped copies in the same grade might have been expected to realize. On the other hand, a few went way past reason - #58 9.4 at $8200? [Not even an especially well presenting copy IMHO]. Is my impression correct that we are seeing those issues with the strongest covers [as well as the scarcest issues] across the run separate themselves further from the herd to a measurable extent regardless of actual grade? [Given they are all high grade copies, whether 8.5/9.0/9.2/9.6/9.8] . Not all of the super high grade copies have done as well. [#58 in 9.4 handily outdid #59 in 9.8, and while #58 has the better cover, #59 is a nice cover too.] It's almost as if the multiples factor [9.6=2x9.4, 9.8= 2x9.6 or whatever it is these days] has in many cases been offset against the Church top ped factor [say, 2.5 x non-ped values]. I wonder how some of the missing might have performed? #65, #66, #71, #72 in particular...? Maybe one day we'll get to solve 'The Case of the Missing Planets'. Oh, and 'Uber bidder beaten out by brave boardies' is my headline of the day. Congrats boys!
  8. To be honest, hammer prices were all over the place. Some significantly underperformed as others have commented - but this is what happened when cheetah sold his set as well.
