I did see a couple really nice copies in the $5 boxes at my last comic con but I passed on them so not sure if they are worth $5 to anybody or not.  I always thought it was an interesting read unlike some of the other New Universe books.

Not good even without factoring eBay’s pound. Definitely hasn’t kept up with inflation. 
 

Nice score.

I was told here on the boards that the promise collection would be the greatest ROI in the history of the hobby

I think a couple conclusions might be drawn from these results.  Lower grade books, even graded, aren't garnering the frenzy they were even a year ago.  The novelty of pulp auction on HA is wearing off a bit.  I know myself I still try to watch them but the draw isn't as strong, and swapping them to the front of the comic auction rather than at the end means I've now missed the last 2.  Newer collectors drawn in by the grading and attention don't seem to be as interested in lower grade books, as some of the common stuff in mid grade is still selling for surprising numbers while other books like these spicys are going for probably what they would raw.

Higher end books still seem to get some decent numbers.  This spicy hit 2k today on ebay!  I just hope the seller does better with shipping, as his auctions last week were sent out in thin cardboard envelopes 

She’s a beauty. Those from the earlier auctions were some nice books if my memory serves me with my Hail Marys falling woefully short of the mark.

Nice looking copies, especially the Batwoman. GLWTS. 

I can play but do they really qualify as Keys?

It’s fun to own a variant from the 30’s that is still published today.

What in the world.

 

I’ve always wondered. Sample sized

for promotion?

Is the smaller one squarebound?  About standard magazine size?

Holy carp I’ve stumped Mr. Wizard!  actually it’s just an exact miniature of the larger one. Comic book sized.

high bidder on most of the preRobins at $1

Even that dog Tec 8?  That Billy Wright should be ashamed.

After 20 years I finally have my entire comic collection under one roof! (no more storage unit!). My wife and I recently moved into a new house and I took over the 3rd floor bonus room.  I had a contractor install some cabinets and special narrow shelving.  I have enough wall space to display over 250 comics, plus plenty of shelving for graphic novels, assorted books, statues and figures.   My new comic room also has an adjacent storeroom where I keep the bulk of my collection (about 14,000 comics in 130+ short boxes).  

That is awesome. One thing I didn’t notice in your photos was a sprinkler system?  If interested I know a guy who does them… cheap.

opinion, it is one of the best books ever to come to auction and especially 2024...white pages and 7.0 on an impossible book to get in that condition. A real winner!...With fantastic upside

You might be right about the rarity and importance of the book but fantastic upside?  My take is Fawcett’s are fools’ gold (that’s why I have so many).

what kind of market value (if any) would you place on the March 1950 issue?

I’d wildly speculatively guess $2750 + 20% buyer’s premium. Could be way higher. Mine about 50 bucks.

Can't wait for the @DC# breakdown of the current CL auction. Everything I have bid on so far went well above GPA. 

Do tell por favor?

Think I bought this one here on the boards.

I am going to do this for the first time. If anyone is in the area, and you need used comic boxes, Come to our warehouse and pick them up. Yes they are FREE, take as many as you want Before we cut them up and throw them in the dumpster, There are mostly short boxes. We need to make room in our warehouse. There is a lot more than is pictured.We are located in West Babylon, Long Island. This is for Pick up only. We are NOT shipping, holding it or bringing them to shows. If you want these come here and pick them up. Or they go in the shredder on Friday May 17. Today Only
