4.5, Sold for $1109.

I also noticed the younger more hip crowds at shows, my wife reminds me no matter how cool others are coming into the hobby I am still a nerd. Granted they tend to gravitate to areas of the show I do not but it is still good to see. I have often thought about the generational changes coming. For me the nostalgia is beyond what the movies share or promote. Today's generation is definitely robbed of standing in gas stations and drug stores drooling over spinner racks that introduce you to characters beyond movies (which we did not have). On topic CL prices on books I planned on snagging this round were above last few sales. I was shooting for that Showcase 6 thinking DC was still off the radar but got sniped at the end by $100.Did grab a Steranko cover I wanted well below planned spend, but so far only have three wins on about 15 serious bids.

Nice, glad to see you sharing the high end DC books!

T206 had no search hits in the AF15 thread until April 2020, Now it has 13 hits (14 now). Sooner or later we will get it.

Take these two if available

What if you yell "Go Dawgs" first? That makes it ok right?

I actually decided to send in 5 of them last year. Grades just posted, see below. I can't say this exact book went but one of them was definitely from the small tear stack. Assume it was one or two of the 9.6's. Line Item: 001 Comic Description: G.I. Joe, A Real American Hero 24 6/84 Marvel Comics Category: Modern Grade: 9.8 WHITE Line Item: 003 Comic Description: G.I.

I gave it a shot on a couple of run fillers, they will be heading back.

Amen. I turned my notifications off for this thread particularly due to every auction update. Final sales are one thing but board countdown clocks for each auction running? Most of us see what you are saying, pump AF15,X1 and IH1 to death, then low and behold one becomes available for sale from said user.

They at least read your comment before deleting and blocking you, Which they did not have to do.

A few went to CFP and then to CGC. but I have some that did not get pressed still there. They barely beat the deadline and are still under the old pricing and grading tiers.

On a positive note, I now have books they have that have now survived two price increases while in their hands.

I do these each year and they normally adjust due to outside influences. This can have me shift to finishing on other runs that I do not list each year since I am always looking for those. Tales To Astonish, TOD, Conan, etc are runs that are pretty close to complete but can always be upgraded. Some of the books in the Big key column have been on there for multiple years, some due to market availability or market pricing. 2022 Acquisition goals Focus Standard Buys Big Key Stretch Incredible Hulk 2 GRR FF1 Record Showcase 4 Incredible Hulk 3 GRR ASM 1 Set Tales To Astonish 27 Incredible Hulk 4 GRR JIM 83 Set Fantastic Four 1 (Upgrade) Incredible Hulk 6 Wonder Woman 200 Hulk 181 (Upgrade) Flash 123 Flash 106 Tales Of Suspense 39 Vampirella 1 Spawn 174 Strange Tales 89 Primer 2 Conan 1 Albedo 2 Brave Bold 28 Chuck Norris 1 Showcase 6 Ewoks 1 Transformers 8 Transformers 80 Nick Fury 6 Hi Grade Air Pirates Funny 1&2 Amazing Spiderman 121 (upgrade to 9+) Amazing Spiderman 122 (upgrade to 9+)

Just finished with my "priority" list for 2022 and trying to stay away from the hype books. I do have a Modern on the list this year that I suspect when I land a copy it will be record high territory and then quickly fall into the downward spiral. Those hype books like Eternals, and all the Spiderman2099 being pushed right now are set up perfectly to burn newer collectors. I can't imagine long term collectors going in now saying "oh I always wanted a mint copy of Spiderman 365". There will be some unhappy people if they are in it for returns next year as with every year with the bottom of the bubble books.

Two different trajectories right now as well. I personally would never do it on the AF15 side but would in a heartbeat on the IH181 side.

Curious myself we did not get the sales update with link since we normally get those updates. Joking aside, Congrats on the sale, that was a nice copy and would be hard to let go of. I can also say my Instagram messenger has went bezerk the last couple weeks trying to pry away my copy.
