Eclipse Comics published all of its 3-D comics in very limited editions, typically about 100 copies, for the small portion of the population that is physically unable to see 3-D images. If I recall correctly, Eclipse editor cat yronwoode suffered form this condition, so they made a point of offering these by mail order.

These are all extremely rare. The Miracleman 2-D edition is well known within Miracleman circle, and can costs thousands. Others are less well known, but believe me, the Stevens collectors have been watching for these for years now...

For Space Vixens is the 2-D version then the third version of this comic? Or is it equivalent to the one with limited info (title/issue) on the cover?

Overall the Cole books did pretty good!  That STT #17 took the cake though.  WoW!

The Mask #1 in 3.0 ended at $12.5 which is pretty much on point where that book / grade has been. The STT #5 continues to be a hot book at $7.3 for a 7.5.The Suspense #7 in 7.0 got $12.2.  I don't have comparative prices for the Spook 6.0's but they seemed to do well.  It'll be interesting to see what the All-Famous Police #11 does tonight!

 

What is STT #17?

Is this where we go to talk about The Crow's abs?

Went out of my normal area and into Kansas for an auction. I didn't get the "bigger" books  (Captain America 32, Brick Bradford 6 and Air Fighters v2 6 and 7) that were there, Which went to a bidder on the phone. It was kind of funny, I don't think the auctioneer had a clue what the comics were worth. But still came home with some books after the 3+ hour drive there and back.

Here's the haul.

 

What did the bigger comics go for?

It's not only font, but weight, cap height, kerning. All wrong.

I think we need a CL 25 HA auction to see where things are at. 😉

An underappreciated cover?....no more.  This is more surprising than the All Picture.

Always liked this one. Glad I got in early.

However, anything I don't yet have is very quickly escaping my funds' reach.

Highlights from my dealer friend’s yard sale finds from Saturday 

Spawn Black and White -- signed -- is insane. What were the prices on the books?

Teen-Age Romances #33 (St. John, 1953) CGC Apparent VG 4.0 Slight | Lot #15297 | Heritage Auctions (ha.com)

I knew this was a tough book but the restored price normally aint high at all, new collectors coming from Heritage market? 

Same crowd that's dropping large coin on Golden Record Reprints?

High rollers can apparently negotiate a minimal sellers premium for their wares.  I'm sure a savvy consigner with high demand items would negotiate a more favorable rate.  

Let’s say he/she negotiated 0% commission. It’s $15k prior to BP so $1000 win. Then if there were any additional costs at Windy City, shipping/insurance to Heritage, etc. 

Unless you’re saying some of that BP can be adjusted as well. 
 

Was the Windy City copy the Edwards copy?

This looks like the copy that sold at last year's Windy City Pulp Con for $14k.  It was considered an astonishingly high hammer price,  but looks like it paid off if it's the same copy.   

Is that’s the same copy from Windy City for $14k the consignor barely made any money, perhaps lost some.

Wow, that seems kind of stiff for that one but…

I can see this one bringing some money. My favorite in the run and seldom seen. Not my copy. 

It has!

Did LB Cole do other covers for indie companies in the 1980s, or was this kind of a one-off?

 

I'm unsure of when the original art was created, but there is Dread of Night from 1991.

Ok, just to get it out of the way, Im the one who got bidding fever on this one (no regrets so far.. ) and now I have to sell  more stuff  

I wasn’t even close.  

There are a lot of pages to read through here...

Can someone summarize what socio-geo-political issue we're trying to solve on the MARVELS (2023) sub-forum of the CGC message board?

I didn't know this is where the fun is at.

I have LOGICAL questions which need answering and won't stop until they are answered:

• Does Roy have a day job?
• This is the "reserved" version of Roy?
• There's a PURGE-based theme park?
• Isn't The Villages the sex capital of the world?

Are those *more* Chuck 2 convention editions or the ones you mentioned previously?

the ones I aforementioned

I learned, probably too late, that the card from Simpsons #4, by itself, at times sells for more than the comic with the card.

Different category, I suppose.
