Heres a few i dont think ive ever posted And 1 i got in the Clink auction last night

Just arrived from fellow boardie book maestro

1 more that came in the mail today

NICE!!! Sometimes it feels like sassemble and myself are the only 2 people actually collecting the Avengers. No love for the greatest superhero team of ALL TIME!!! A couple of my Clink wins from last night. I'm finally getting close to finishing my run. Well, at least finishing it except for a #1. Thats probably going to take a LONG time And an upgrade for my mis-wrap from hell #92

NICE!!! Suscha News books= PURE AWESOMENESS!!! I know im a broken record at this point but i LOVE the Suscha books. Each and every one that i have are as nice, bright and fresh as any comic ive ever seen

Not most peoples cup of tea but i think they are pretty sweet!

I got this one a while back but never got around to posting it These were recent additions

What more could you possibly ask for?!? White pages, top census, almost perfectly registered and best of all, a Vision cover

Page 2 again?!? My Avengers just get ZERO love I've been trying for a while to find a 9.6 Annual 2 o complete my 9.6+ Annual run and FINALLY got one! I won this tonight in the Pedigree grand auction

Sweet books! But the Avengers isn't a pedigree Tell me about it! Just slumming it with an upgrade for my 9.2 until i can find a nice pedigree 94

Two new BA books. Not only are they SWEET but these 2 books will knock me into the top 50 on the Registry!!!

I know ive done it on Pedigree and comicconnect before. The last Pedigree Grand auction there was a book i really wanted and i had planned a MAX bid of $1750. I put that in with about an hour left with the book sitting around $1000. I was pretty sure i was going to win it since it was still just at like $1200 with a few seconds left. Of course, a snipe hit my bid and sent it into extended bidding. I swore i wasnt going to go higher but did and ended up going to $1950 but still missed out as it went for like $1989.

If I remember correctly, the Atlantic City copy of Action #10 recieved bids during soft end times, resulting in a higher hammer price of over $50,000 or more. Same thing with the Action #13 It's difficult to use any of these items are arguing points. Who's to say the action 10 would not have achieved a higher price with a hard end time? The reason people put in bids during the soft end time is because they were allowed to put in bids, and they knew this before the auction started. Bid your maximum and let it ride is only a good philosophy if you're bidding your maximum in the last minute. If you put in your max bid early you are just asking to have the item bid up in small increments. I think people also have difficulty distinguishing the highest price they would be happy to pay and the highest price they're willing to pay. I agree nobody except the ones bidding know for sure. Watching the auctions closely, I felt that these books sold for much more than they would have without the soft end times. I agree with both of you. I think the Actions would have went higher than they did at the end of the original soft time if there was a hard end time. I also think though that the soft end time raised the final price at least about $5,000. I think at that point, the 2 top bidders went back and forth a few times and went above their planned MAX bid. Once you're that close to a book you really want, whats another few % to get it. Soft end time definitely helped those Actions imo. You seem to be contradicting yourself. How can they have gone higher with a hard end time yet had a monetary raise of at least $5000 with a soft? Apparently i didnt explain it very well. Knowing there was a soft end time and they could raise it, i dont think that the top bidders put in their actual max bid like they would have with a hard end time. That being the case, i think with a soft end time, the hammer price at the original end time(before any extended bidding) was lower than if there was a hard end time. BUT, i do think the extended bidding took the final price over what it would have been if there wasa hard end time. I was watching that extended bidding and i would bet that the last 2 bidders went over their PLANNED max bid at least a couple times during the extended bidding (thumbs u

That's nice! I have a 9.6 or I'd definitely be making an offer on that! Filter81 is a boardie and a good guy. Shoot him a pm on the boom, you might get lucky

Yes, there is. It counts down the seconds once you get Inside 10 minutes I think. Definitely the last few minutes. Like I said, it's a little tight on back to back books but as long as you're fairly prepared, you have plenty of time. I always print out the GPA info on the books I am bidding on and have them laid out with my max bid written on it since you definitely won't have time to be searching on gpa. You don't even need multiple windows open. Once one ends, click right on the next book, look at your sheet and put in your max bid. I almost always even have enough time to raise myax bid if I need/want to.

I definitely dont like the "extended bidding" since im one of those with no restraint that will up my "MAX bid" if someone outbids me Yeah its nice to win the book but i almost always end up overpaying for them. I prefer Comiclink and the other sites. Just put in your max bid and you win it or dont when the final buzzer goes off (thumbs u

It's almost always 30 seconds between books other than when a new title comes up and then its usually a few minutes. Not a ton of time but as long as you are fairly prepared, its enough time. Lots and LOTS of times, i'm bidding on 2,3,4,5 books in a row even if i cant afford to win them all and i almost always have plenty of time to move on to the next book (thumbs u

Yeah, it's just like eBay and most other places. If the bid is at $100 and that's the max bid so far and yOu put in your max bid of $1,000, it will only go to $105(or whatever the increment is) until someone else puts in a bid and pushes you up (thumbs u

Can someone explain to me what in the hell this freaky cover is all about since i dont read FF??? 1st off, why is the Thing wearing a babies onesie? And what the hell is he about to kiss?!? Okay, well... The "thing" wearing the onesie is the She-Thing... And the other "thing" is the Thing after he got "Superthinged"! There's a She-Thing?!? And it looks EXACTLY like the regular thing?!? This raises MANY disturbing questions in my mind about the logistics of them getting their "thing" on Sweet book though! (even if i find it a little disturbing )

Congrats! That X-men 50 is quite a score, especially for a a raw bought that long ago. Nothing better than getting those old araws graded that you "overpayed" for back in the day and now are worth 20 times what you paid. I remember SEVERELY overpaying for my "MINT" Iron Fist 14 back in like 1992. Paid $129 when it guided for like $80-90. Graded 9.8w though a few months back

NICE!!! I got the 9.6 Green River copy about 6 months ago. I love that cover And thanks, my son has surprisingly good taste for his age although usually his taste is WAYYYYY too expensive!

Holy mess!!! You went on quite the spree! That's like an instant collection right there, congrats
