Nice pick-up Peter Whose cold dead hands did you pry that out of (thumbs u

Thanks! You KNOW I LOVE those two! Actually though, the Ant man one might be my fave, it's insane in hand! The top right one is pretty amazing also since the entire back cover is also sketched. I should have flipped it and took another pic to show it off since the back is pretty freaking awesome! Congrats on being the Boards #3 Vision fan. Fixed that for you Sean, since I'm assuming you're #2 [/img] These are just a few of my babies [/img] [/img] [/img] BTW those Vision cover sketches are unbelievably awesome!!

I take it books with limited edition run numbering (i.e. 1 / 100) written on the cover would fall into Cat #5 since it is not really a defect but some marker noting run number on the cover. I would think a 9.8 Green would be valued at the same level as a 9.8 Blue would since it would be impossible to ever get a blue label with one of these books... right? As is the case in this other thread... Ltd Run Cover Notation

Bronty I would love to see your "reader" collection - prob puts my main collection to shame (thumbs u

I agree... just love that cover And the TOS 20 is in my top PH covers as well... could be the great cover and the fact that it eluded me for so long. This one is actually an upgrade from my FN- copy so I hope their FN+ grade evaluation is accurate.

Thanks Rick. I can't wait to get them in my hands.

Did not do too bad on tonight's HA low-mid grade PH auctions... came away with around half of them (some were upgrades and others I just took shots at snagging good deals). Thank goodness most of you go for the bigger fish and not these relative minnows But I am quite happy non the less... best part is I scored all the hole filler books I was after getting closer to getting these sets completed (only 2 books each away from TTA and TOS sets). JIM and ST sets are another story ugh Anyway here are some of the books from tonight:

WOW

As usual... WOW

I feel for ya Rich, that really sucks. While I congratulate all the winners on some great deals, it is painful seeing such awesome books go for far below FMV. I have to empathize with the sellers here, while rejoicing with the winners. As Bronty said, I too think this is a one-off event. I would have normally been in there helping to push some of these bids up but I only watched many of these as they were not current holes in my sets (upgrades of course but not holes), my focus was on some other books like those sweet Weird Fantasy's, and very tight budget right now after picking up a big win recently from CC. I am not so sure about auction fatigue as even though they may get tiring at times, if I have that hole that needs filling I will typically go for what I need regardless. I think the multi-copies and presence of those high grade copies took the focus away from these books. If those HG books were not there things would have looked a lot differently I am sure.

Beautiful just beautiful. One of my fav PH books of them all!! Congratz

I know what you mean Bronty... the higher grade stuff was soooo hot I could not get near them But I was surprised to get this nice upgrade for myself for only $165

Hey Bronty, they showed up in my searches - very nice books indeed even if he did not ship to Canada.

Just love this cover... especially since it is now in my collection

Awesome snags... congratz

Love the TOS 8 cover - one of my PH favs

Have a safe trip back home Mysterio Caught one more tonight as a slight bump up from my 3.5 raw copy

Bronty that is still a sweet win and beautiful book at that. I had to settle for a couple of lower grade needs But at least they are 2 more down - almost finished my TOS & TTA runs

for a 2.0 with tape ... One of the grails I may never get now

That's for sure. I'm glad now that I bought my two graded 9.6 copies a year ago. Although they are no longer blue labels and are currently on their way back to me as 9.6 Stan Lee Sig Series

Those are gorgeous!

Wow Sacentaur awesome books really really nice pick ups! And you say these are your first PHs... well done indeed and welcome to the PH club.

Awesome book and glad to see you post here again. I was starting to wonder where you had got. Yah those stone men are really cool and I love this cover... But who is that dude in the cape with the giant funky hoola hoop??? Oh I fogot one thing As usual Rich Thanks Paul!! BTW, that's Thor's ultimate move when all else fails, the "Mijolnir Hoop Of Doom"! Fear the Hoop!
