  1. 🤦‍♂️ https://www.ebay.com/itm/Black-Panther-3-200-Main-Cover-A-1st-Appearance-Tosin-Marvel-Comics-2022-/325017883734?mkcid=16&mkevt=1&_trksid=p2349624.m46890.l6249&mkrid=711-127632-2357-0
  2. I was reading this thread and was going through my comics at the same time. I saw this “P” marking so of course I thought it was something special. Based on the dates, not a Penn, though it does seem there are a preponderance of “P” marks on comics from the golden age for whatever reason.
  3. Wow. Have to not spend for a while but I would have made an exception for this. I didn’t see this Baker but there was a Cole I was tracking I probably should have bought. Hopefully the new owner needed that issue and enjoys it.
  4. Per the article, the book was banned "after officials objected to eight instances of profanity and an image of a nude woman". Take from that what you will.
  5. Were you informed of this additional 5% charge by eBay or were you investigating your orders and found it yourself?
  6. For whatever reason, I never bought in to the idea all of this "new comic money" was coming from crypto offshoots (I don't have another viable option; I'm still confused). I don't know if this dip will tip any hands as to what was happening, but it will be interesting to see what, if anything, happens next -- large sell-offs (which will be difficult to track on a per-person basis), lower buy prices, etc. -- through Q1/April of this year.
  7. Got caught up. Finally opened and counted. Unfortunately, The Horrors is a little worse than expected with a tear on the front cover. The rest look good.
  8. I saw this auction pop up on Facebook as a sponsored ad, with the golden age lots up-front and center. I was interested at first but saw Friday night the prices were already out of the "got a deal" range and kept on moving along. Without the Facebook exposure I wonder what they would have ended at. Unless it's an extremely local auction house with limited/no internet exposure (i.e. is not on hidbid, etc), it's difficult to get deals.
  9. 2 Cole and 2 Baker. Got caught up trying to sell stuff; will check tomorrow.
  10. MCS is about to get a decent-sized consignment from me of mostly Golden Age stuff. I have consigned to them before, though rarely, and not on GA; we'll see how it goes. Side question to @mycomicshop: Can your weekly or "premiere" auction wins be paid via credit? Or do those have to be cold, hard cash?
  11. Definitely a case of "right place, right time", luck, and persistence. But that's usually how these GA copies are found these days, right (at least for reasonable prices)?
  12. I was going through my raws, looking for something else, and figured this guy deserved a picture and a post.
  13. They weren't Baker, but this makes me feel a little better about some of my recent "what was I thinking" purchases. i.e. The buyers (other than me) are out there for this kinda stuff.
  14. Yep! All this. In any event, that's a lot of Blue Bolt 105s in a short amount of time.
  15. Congrats! This book looks familiar but I can't place it (on the arrival date marking). Seems like a few of these have top staple issues.
  16. A registration question from September's show: Basically: Can an option be added for a Friday-only Pass w/ Early Bird access?
