Well, there is this 8.0 from a 2002 Heritage sale with the note of “glue on spine”, just slight P. If the glue could be removed, who knows 🤷‍♂️

@woowoo show me some of those image editing skills you got and post a pic of a nice bonfire of Ultimate Spiderman 4 please  

make it a BIG bonfire

The Promise Tec #43 sold for $2,383.  Previously sold for $1,800.  A win for the consignor 

Tec 43 cover

and just where will these AF15s be thrown ? I'd like to pick up a few copies, not to keep of course.

With a $100k difference, I would rather have the CL copy

+1

wow ! 126k for the copy of Action 1 (wasnt even aware there was an additional 15% BP)

wonder if they also used those small fragments or the dot ComicConnect auctioned off some time ago

gives a whole new meaning to frankenbook

Ends tonight so far at 82 222$.

sorry to say, but it is a far more superior copy than yours so expect a strong result

This is my favorite book in th auction .  How can this NOT go for 6 figures???  The pieces on the front alone are worth 50-100k imo

then bid it up to 6 figs and take it home

Stan Lee should never have been given a pen or marker

 

With all due respect to Stan Lee, he would have signed an Action1 if they laid one in front of him.

This is a tough category as I have too many RCQs, as that is the easiest way to afford more key books.  But this might be my favorite purple label.  I was on the fence getting it but decided if it was good enough for Jon Berk I could live with it.  

terrific copy !

let's see more preRobins that didn't belong to me

Whats that poor mans Action 1 gonna hammer at ??

 

I’m starting to second guess my initial thoughts of $150K-$200K. Now I’m thinking around $125K. I’d be astonished if it didn’t break $100K.

it won't break 6 figs

the last 2 posts were both my throwaways

Honestly, the level of books is just beyond words. Also noticed this single highest mile high 1st Dr Fate. Unbelievable that books like this can get overshadowed haha

Wow. There are actually 2 copies in this signature auction. The sheer amount of quality GA is eye opening.

Almost makes you wonder if this is a frantic mad rush for the exit doors after seeing what's been taking  place in the more recent SA to CA marketplaces.   

Seems to me to be a typical Heritage featured auction, I can't even recall when they EVER had a mundane featured auction

great looking book

leading the pack, with no surprise

QES Certified: impressive prime focal area, deep color strike (red, yellow & blue)

isn't there is a close relationship between QES and CC just like there is one with CVA and HA ?

has anyone actually seen the CC copy in person to confirm the bright(er) colors or not ?

That CC photo makes the colors on their copy look sooo much brighter. Unless the colors are just that immaculate. I mean looks fresh off the newsstand. I’d probably pay more for it to with those colors.

scan enhancements or just the way the scanner produces the image ? even the CGC label seems more vivid

we've seen time and again, even here on the boards, sellers changing scanners as the end result is not reflective of reality.
