    Books like ST110 make this an interesting hobby. Dr. Strange is one of the great creations of the Marvel Silver Age. ST 110 doesn’t require him on the cover as much as Pep 22 didn’t have Archie bracing its cover. Dr. Strange’s first appearance and story inside the book is what defines it and makes it special for the same reason that first appearances in anthologies like Tales of Suspense instead of a first issue of a run are. The formula that results in a key book doesn’t necessarily require in the case of a first appearance, that the character be included on the cover to be awesome. It might be important for the “slab” focused collector? Let’s try and remember as collectors that it’s what’s inside the book that sometimes matters more than what’s on the cover. Unfortunately, there’s an inclination on the part of some, who because the book is encapsulated and will not be removed due its monetary value (understandable- I’m one of those), that all they can see is a cover and define the book on that basis. This can evolve into an implicitly biased view that we may not be aware of over time as we continue to look at the book through the “plastic lens.” Books published before third party grading, especially those that hit newsstands and candy stores during the Silver Age were intended to be read and viewed in their entirety by that generation of readers and by the posterity of comic book collectors that would later follow them. Let’s not lose sight of that and remember to include this view when we look at books like Strange Tales 110. One last thing and this goes out to the “investors” and flippers that jump into this hobby primarily for the money: you will never understand this since collecting comic books is a rich experience that gets better with time. The longer the time in most cases, the greater the experience (who can forget when Adventure Comics 247 was one of the biggest SA keys during the ‘80s?). I try explaining this to my “buy the comic because the movie is coming out friends.” This hobby is not defined by another medium despite the many successful shenanigans used by speculators. Sure, a quick buck is made when speculation of a book takes over. The “next hot book” crowd and the more sophisticated market (best word I can use since we really can’t have a market per se without some form of regulation to ensure fairness and transparency) manipulators who apply tactics to artificially inflate the value of a book continue to do their thing (see ebay). The means of comic book collecting also in many cases, justifies the ends. Just ask a true collector about the memories they have about first reading Strange Tales 110. It’s a memory that money can’t buy and one we take with us when the comic books are left behind for future generations so they can gain some insight into who we were and the times we lived in. Strange Tales 110 can bring meaning to my rephrasing the old adage about variety adding to the spice of comic book collecting. Finally, I’m not a big fan of ST 110 cover but it was always a must have for me because the good doctor is one of Marvel’s greatest and most unique SA creations.

    I won an item at comic connect last night and after checking out and mailing the check I received an email this morning saying:

     

    Thank you for participating in the auction last night. I'm told there was an error in the auction lot. The programmer is looking into it now. 
     

    Your wining price is $XXXXX but the auction processed the bid at a lower amount. Please do not send payment until we sort this out and send out an updated invoice. Thank you.

    The new price is very close to the max bid I entered. With comic connects 3 minute closing system how do I know there had been another bid and it was for just below my maximum bid. Since it went through the closing procedure at the lower bid and it’s supposedly an error in there system should I really have to pay the higher amount?  Please let me know what you guys think. 

    Seems SUS ESPECIALLY because it it is comic connect.!!  Yeah VINCE I SAID IT!!
