When will the next unrestored Tec #27 come to auction?
Betty-Bates replied to Wayne-Tec's topic in Golden Age Comic Books
Yes, 7.5 purple to 5.5 blue. That is what I am saying but it was more likely CCS instead of Copperfield. It's not really all that magical. ๐ -

Yup 7.5. Mistype fixed. We can discuss who would have gotten it out of those of us who almost did at the next furry convention and unlimited spaghetti buffet! ๐๐๐คฃ๐ -

You mean this book? Almost got it. Ended up with the Sup 1 as a boobie prize. The AC1 was a 7.5 slight. -

Chamber of Chills 19 Original Art at HA
Betty-Bates replied to The-Collector's topic in Golden Age Comic Books
Not smart to put water and OA in the same analogy, but, a rising tide and all ๐ OA has already skyrocketed from where it was just a few years ago. Unless there is a crazy aweful recession (which I do not wish for because many of my friends are dealers and I care for them more than I care for my collection!) I don't see it substantially coming back to where it was. The Frezetta also kicked that rock over the edge in a pretty dramatic fashion! The coc19 is much closer to my tastes than Frezetta, so I was hoping the market would leave my stuff alone for at least a little while longer, but, doesn't seem as if that is the case. -
Chamber of Chills 19 Original Art at HA
Betty-Bates replied to The-Collector's topic in Golden Age Comic Books
Hi! I dont hang out on the boards very often, but many know me from other forums like FB or IG (Hi! I'm Anna!) I saw this thread and felt like putting in my two cents. I actually own the TADS cover. I am VERY happy that it went on the block a few years ago because if it were sold after all this CoC19 hype I may have not wanted to pay for it. Don't get me wrong, I know I paid A Lot for a Harvey cover, but it was well worth it to me! It is currently watching me type this and is sending me sweet telepathic messages of it's love! I very much agree with the person who said that the interest in COC 19 seems to be generational. My husband is also a collector and he doesn't have the same love for it as I do. However, my love is strong enough for the both of us! ๐คฃ๐๐คฃ It's very easy to see that the younger generation likes it more and it does have to do with the book being relatively easy to come by and cheap not that long ago. I'm a little bit of a hoarder when it comes to books so I still have many copies of it. I like it because the art is just clean and crisp looking and it speaks to me. I'm not gonna speculate what it will go for because I do plan on going after it, but I know that there are others who have deep pockets and love PCH who could easily outbid me. The estimates here seem much more realistic than I have been seeing on other forums. One guy on IG even threw out a million, which is just ludicrous. There is absolutely no way to really tell because there is not a ton to compare it to and because it has the ties to the music world. I do strongly believe that this will not be a cover that people will be able to get into to possibly flip later. I think it's going to hit the ceiling value straight out of the gate because many of us legitimately wanna hang it on our wall. Anyway, those are my current thoughts! And if MrBedrock does end up with it I will love him just the same! (But he should be prepared to set up the guest room, because, I feel like it would benefit from hours of me adoring it in person!! ๐คฃ๐๐คฃ๐๐คฃ) As they say, all is fair in comics and sports!!.... or something like that ๐คฃ๐๐คฃ๐ -

Oops! I think I posted this in the wrong spot. -- Hi guys! I had no idea this would be starting soon! Isn't it still 2018?!? - thanks for giving me a heads up on IG comicquant! While I SO enjoy playing, and you guys are a blast, I need to sit this one out. The day job has me chained to a desk and I am having to schedule date nights to hang out with my books when I can (and the poor hubby is getting sloppy third๏ปฟ tier date nights ๐คฃ๐๐คฃ) I would probibly end up making everyone wait until the very last second to turn stuff in, if I got it in at all, and that wouldn't be cool! I will definitely be keeping up with how you guys are doing and I'๏ปฟm excited to see who takes me out! (Can I keep the tiara?!?) Good luck everyone!!โกโก I'm rooting for you!! โกโก -

Depends on the circumstances. This is from 3 years ago and my heart is sad to see how things have gone down hill lately, but that is what age will do to you. I got to spend most of the day with him and it was a lot of fun. Even then you could tell the age was starting to take it's toll (but he was certainly still a feisty little gentleman!) Max was pushy yet understanding. I didn't see Max do anything inappropriate the whole day and I was literally 6in from Stan the whole time. He could have been a little more understanding of Stan's age, sure, but they were trying to get through the hundreds of guys standing in line wanting signatures before Stan just couldn't do it anymore and Stan understood and was down with that drill. They've done it many times before. I do think that now is past the time for that to continue. I've watched his new handlers at work and I'm not one bit happy with the situation. I'm very thankful I got the opportunity that I did and I wish that the last conversations in Stan's sunset days were regarding how happy he is and how wonderful he is doing instead of what they are -- conversations about the various sad ways he's being taken advantage of. Does anyone know if his daughter is just rich and stupid or actually mentally challenged? These things would never happen to my daddy, and if there was any idea that something like this was happening I would have someone buried in my backyard REAL quick!

Luckily, being authentically geeky is now in style! If you would have asked me 15 years ago I would have said it would never be true! ??? I'm kind of digging being cool but unfortunately think it may just be a phase in the world and I will be uncool yet again in another 15 years ?? (although, with the price of books being what they are now that everybody & their dog are into books, I wouldn't mind a slight drop so I can start hoarding what I love AND eating again! ?)
