Thread closed. Thanks, all. 

Just one book tonight. Here da rulez:

1. PayPal or certified check only.

2. First unconditional claim posted in the sales thread wins the book. A post in the thread takes precedence over any PM sale that might be agreed to but not yet posted to the sales thread.

3. Shipping at a flat $20 within the US (USPS...have to keep funds heading their way...so scary what's happening there, but I digress). Canada, UK or Australia, please inquire. I'll follow your directions, within reason, but shipping determined individually outside the US. Will be bubbled and handled with care. Check my kudos for a few unprompted references to my packing. 

4. Insurance not included. If you fancy that, let's chat through what you need before we finalize price and you send payment. 

5. For slabbed books, CGC has already looked them over. You know what you're getting. No returns, as a result on those dandies.

6. For raw books, I've done my best. I tried to grade conservatively. I'll take returns, but you have to pay the shipping back to me. If you want to return a raw book, you've got to return the whole goldarn lot. Will not do swaps/exclusions on singles. Otherwise, all good.  

7. For slabbed books, assume pressed, unless otherwise mentioned. For raw books, assumed unpressed and au naturel, unless otherwise mentioned. 

8. I'd be open to time payments, as many kind boardies have provided me with same. 

9. No HOS or probation boardies. I also reserve the right to refuse to sell to anyone for any reason. 

Sorry, in advance, for the glare. All pics from my phone and a less-than-amateur hand.

I am a straight-shooter. I've been on the boards for several years - doing decent sized transactions without hassle. Happy to provide references, if you need. My kudos thread is referenced in my signature, if needed.

I think that's it. Here we go.

So, on to this auction now? Still licking my wounds from all the missed Promises. Hoping for better luck here.

Ok! Lesson learned. No one bid on any of the Flash Comics. Especially the 104, avoid it. Bad investment.

Agreed. Just silly to bid on any Flash Comics. I’m surprised HA will even sell them. Move along, move along...

Hmm...yeah. It's a 9.2 (shown on p. 11 in this thread).

Question is whether it was just pulled from this auction or already sold privately?

BTW - that 1.5 sold for *stupid* money. I don't get it.

No Flash 96, though every other book around that is listed. Wonder if some are getting plucked?

Also, what did the Flash 104 1.5 sell for?

I was buying the other planets by now I really liked # 2 but still was hoping to upgrade the 1 

Ha! Love that sequence. Great story / progression.

My two wins.  That Jumbo 17 was a dogfight, but it looks so. dang. good.  The Flash is one of the tougher underwater books to get, from my experience anyway.

Flash 96 is extremely tough. No doubt about it. This one presents great for the grade.

You’re right, we did start with #2.  I am biased since I only have a few of the issues after the rivets, so I shouldn’t be the one to decide. 

Why was #1 skipped? Team is only into Rivets?

Stellar. Love these boards. Thanks for hunting this down.

I saw those as well but I passed. I've going with Mr. Bedrock on these. They just have that "aged" look that doesn't seem right. Also, the "DC" on them look like a giveaway. They seem to be stamped rather haphazzardly. In all my years (50) of collecting this type of stuff, I have never seen any others. Hope I am wrong and have been known to be but they appear to be a little "suspect"...

Fair take, completely. You and Bedrock are both wise fellers.

I was watching the Wonder Woman in that group but couldn't bring myself to bid because I also had no idea what they were. I am still interested in finding out. I hope someone here knows. 

I took the plunge. Too interesting not to bid...at least for me. Might have burnt that money, but qualities here that are intriguing.

I could be wrong. I am trying to think of a best case scenario (in house art tryout cards, test cards for a possible set, etc) but the art just looks too amateurish, the poses are all swipes, and the stamps on the back are a little too convenient. I hope I am wrong.

They look old, real. I have them in hand now. All are swipes, but not sure that’s surprising. But were they production for an old bootleg? Maybe. Not sure. They’re interesting, though.

Those look every bit like bootleg cards that someone is trying to pass off as real. I would avoid those like the plague.

I didn’t avoid. I bought them. Perhaps regretfully. 

No sure where best to post this, but trying here. 

Does anyone know what these are? I bought these off eBay. The guy said he picked them up 30+ years ago from an estate sale in Northern NJ, along with other pieces from the 40s. These are original art on card stock. They’re 5-3/4 by 6-3/4 inches.Three of the backs have a stamp on them (two shown below).

There was also a Batman, Joker, and Wonder Woman, which I didn’t get.

Fronts:

A few backs:

Flash

Superman

The guy said another bidder reached out and said another person on eBay sold a bunch of similar cards last Spring. That bidder picked up a Penguin at that time. Here’s an image:

Does anyone know what these are? Was there a card set made circa ‘43, ‘44 (basing that off the Batman and Joker images)? If there was, what other cards were made. What I have seems like production art, but not sure. Any information would be appreciated.

Sorry, wrong forum.

This is an impressive thread.
