One thing that I freaking love about this particular copy is the slight miswrap that shows a banner of flags down the spine. Old label, white pages, beautiful Okajima coding = a winner all around!

I, on a last minute whim after losing everything else I had bid on, went after the Super Comics 2 and won that. For 500 it seemed like an ok price, considering what current Pep comics of the same period seem to be fetching and the relative scarcity of CWs in general. Excited for my first Canadian White!

As a small aside to the discussion on that Tec 69 price, does anyone else find it perplexing that there hasn't been much movement (comparatively) to Tec 71? I figured some of that price jump on 69 would trickle down to 71, but that seems not to be the case.

Was thinking the same thing Jim. A lot of different bidders great to see. .... from a distance, the Atlas market can seem strange and erratic, but I think that may be due to the sheer number of issues available with a lot of people focusing only on a couple of titles or seeking out specific issues by personal preferences. Very few people can afford high grade runs, so many will grab favorite examples for a representative set..... especially with high grade. If you're lucky enough to have your eye on an issue that the prime players already have, a reasonable price can be found even though it would "seem" that a book would be cool enough to generate high prices. GOD BLESS... -jimbo(a friend of jesus) I think this is a great point- that if the "prime players" have attained a certain book and no longer chase it, prices can seem to vary widely on many books. Although, lately, with Atlas horror it seems that there is a "Hydra" effect, satisfy one collector and there are two more in its place to bid on the next copy of Spellbound 3, Mystic 18, etc. I think that sometimes when a book attains a certain price point (the prices we have seen lately on books like Spellbound 17 and Mystic 18) they;re never going to settle back down from stratospheric prices because it has been established from several sales that numerous collectors are willing to pony up to attain these issues that have suddenly been deemed as classic covers whereas just two years ago they were merely "cool" covers.

I won the Menace 3 and 11. Bidding was aggressive for mid-grade examples of many issues that aren't all that rare, but comics4less is a great seller to buy from ie grading is accurate, no worries about possible resto, etc. Sometimes people pay more for a little peace of mind, though I've notices lately even random sellers with "estate" find books are getting good numbers on Atlas books, even with fuzzy scans. It's a rough time to be an Atlas collector on a budget these days.

Creating a narration with these covers is actually extremely entertaining-well played.

Gator, I'm curious to your opinions as to what books (or titles) are inflated and, conversely, underrated in the G.A. marketplace right now?

This is a fantastic Ingels cover, entirely underrated. (and I prefer this one to 15 as well. (thumbs u

As far as the stratospheric prices for the entire Mystery Tales run, I'm curious as to what opinions are:.Will the fad pass and will prices come down considerably, or are these new inflated prices going to be the norm for for the title going forward?

This one needs "classic cover" designation. One of my absolute favorite precode books. Great copy too!

This book is a jaw-dropper-ridiculously tough and this copy looks to be about flawless.

Check your private messages, left you a lead on a 14.

Recent purchase was awesome. Thank you much!

This one is my favorite, an impossible book to find, especially in grade. Puts my raw 5.0 to shame.

Yeah, the 20's are rough for sure, but that's all part of the fun, right? The toughest part is finding copies with decent eye appeal. I realyl think that high grade Fiction House, especially with bright colors, should command a bit more attention than they do.

Sharp colors on that Rangers 16, I probably would have grabbed that one if you hadn't. We definitely have similar taste Scrooge-beautiful books as always. (thumbs u

Best week ever. (thumbs u

Wow, that's an ignorant comment if I've ever seen one...
