I will take it

Did I miss the Prices?

Changed ur mind on the Jetta? (wouldn't blame u)

Always want to see bakers!

Ugh, missed a Space Western...

Great mix of books rick!

I assume that those dealers who "flipped" books from the Berks auction, weren't so much flipping, as filling long standing want list requests from existing customers (especially those who are internet/auction averse and thus wouldnt be bidding on the CC auction themselves). We're those resold books every actually listed for sale, or did they appear on the dealers site as sold from the onset (Im betting on this). Cause otherwise I dont understand why someone would have the internet knowhow to buy a book from a dealer's online marketplace, but lack the ability to bid in an auction. Unless the buyers were buying with dealer credit (thus meaning they couldnt actually bid on a book, but could buy it from the dealer with whom they had credit). Or the buyer was offline during the auction and asked the dealer to try to win on their behalf and then paid an agreed "markup" Or any number of other scenarios... Lots of these larger dealer sites have "want list" functions, so they could have just as easily bid on books that they had multiple "wanters"for thinking they could then set the price they want and offer it to the 1 or more customers who had it on their want list. personally none of it bothers me, but it is entertaining to consider the various machinations.

I'm in! Prepare to notify the moderators!

Action 1 has far more "wow"factor, and is far easier to show off than a stack of high grade silver age books. If he's looking investment-wise, maybe the answer is slightly different (risk distribution and what not)

Is the Annandale a monthly show? I'm really hoping I'm not moving into a comic book wasteland in a month!

I totally forgot that I made those insert/flyers when I sold off the collection! Glad to see one still floating around 4 years later. I wasn't trying to imply a pedigree, but just commerative the act of collecting the theme. (Plus it made it a little less bittersweet as I let them go) Don't know what it was about 70s DC horror but the centering was always horrid,and finding even half way squared copies was a chore. All three of your new additions present very nicely!

Im moving there in three weeks, if you find anything leave some for me!

I wait for this thread every month! Don't say things like that!

I'll take Speed Carter 3

Take it

Accepted payment methods?

I think will get hot once people realize that does the interior art and covers (even though they arent GGA) and his covers get prohibitively expensive.

I think the market seems to have settled on... Mid-grade camp era books: 5-7x market for non-ped copy (example the Captain Midnight) High grade, classic cover, or military cover camp era books: 10x market for non-ped copy (example Yank on HA) Non-camp era books: 2x market for non-ped copy (but this can swell to 4x market if the market has been okajima dry for a while) (example Firehair on CC a few months back) I have to go back and look to see if my sense lines up with more of the recent past results... (why did I star this thread if I wanted to collect these books!?!?!? I should have kept my darn mouth shut... would have saved some money and had more sweet Okajimas...)

6.5x the price of a nonpedigree copy, seems within recent performance range for the lower grade copies or the copies with just ok subject material on the cover. A more visual WWII battle scene and this would have sold for more like 10x (Like the Fightin' Yank did on Ha recently.)

Congrats! It's a very cool book for sure. It's one of the most "flourish" examples of her signature (look at how big she goes with the "k"!)

When she bought books she put a little code on them starting (I Assume) with 1A, then 1B, and so on (whatever comics she bought on a given day got the same code). After 1Z she went to 2A and then later the 3 codes... I've only seen 3-4 books with the 1 series code. And the above is 1D (I think) or maybe 1P, I'll have to check it against my notes....

Closed on ebay this evening for $800. My last bid was 777... Alas. A great piece of early Okajima from ' 43 and from the "1" code run. anyone here take it home?
