Awesome! Are you gunning for the Mr. Mystery 12?

Actually it was Hulk 181.

No, there was a one-panel cameo in More Fun 51.

Link?

 

If you decide to pass on the book, I'd consider it.

 

Looks like someone scooped it up already since I posted. I was going to pass up on it and provide a link for you, but the book is now gone.

 

Guilty.

 

I called them up and when I found out that no one had put a hold on it, I made a move.

Free game I suppose, but not the world's greatest board etiquette.

My gut is that there is a growing hunger for these Pre-robins that goes well outside the incredibly knowledgeable collectors on these boards and they are paying higher prices for them.

It's an interesting question. I don't know the answer, though. We might be seeing a spike or perhaps the market top is yet to come.

I can't wait for a book to show up in the mail, though, so I can post it to this thread.

I think over 40k is pushing it, but I've been wrong before.

It's interesting to read what you wrote and how you felt at one point in time...

 

Let's just say this -- and I'll leave it at this -- I don't feel the same way today as I did when I wrote this.

"Leaving it at this" sounds like there is something significant to say.

Very nice Eerie 1.

That Randi Flim-Flam book is really fun. I've been to his home in South Florida a few times and chatted magic and science and stuff. Wonderful guy.

Thanks for all the kinds words, everybody. Yeah, not even a nibble here. I'm a little surprised. I'll give this until the weekend and then it's off to ebay on Monday, if nobody's interested.

by the way, that 'Tec 31 4.0 on ComicConnect has now been bid up to 35,000.

 

 

I noticed that....I thought that would be close to making the sale.

 

My former copy

Oh dear.

And this is an excellent price for this book. I'm jealous.

You don't have to be.

Yep, it comes packaged with a cardboard back. Interesting that they did that.

Here's some more info about the writing on the cassette. The tape is called "Saturday Morning Cartoons' Greatest Hits Sampler." Features the following tracks:

Ramones: "Spider-Man" (That's the good song!)

Matthew Sweet: "Scooby Doo, Where are you?" (Actually, I've heard this version, it's pretty cool.)

Sublime; "Hong Kong Phooey"

Reverend Horton Heat: "Stop that Pigeon"

Behind the tape, you can see a coupon for $2 off the full "Saturday Morning Cartoons" album at any long-defunct Camelot Music store. (And the coupon expired in '96.)

Are there really so many people who think that the X Men are such a weak concept that they are nothing without Wolverine? Really?

 

Yes he is a great character (though he has appeared in many, many mediocre appearances over the years) but the X Men are a lot more than Wolverine and a bunch of guys.

No x- men without wolvie, as far as mass appeal to non- comic geeks is concerned. Would be like never putting daleks in the dr who reboot.

Ok, so I just discovered this one in my closet. I'm sure somebody's interested!

Amazing Spiderman 408 variant, still in a sealed polybag with the Ramones cassette. (They cover the Spidey theme song, of course.)

Tough book, looks VF/NMish through the polybag. A few light spine ticks look like the most significant issue.

Cheapest BIN on ebay is $350, but I'd rather get in and get out. Take it for $175!

 

And I miss Andy's site too!

Andy, I believe the road for you is clear.

Is there an LB cover registry set? If not, you should bring this great list to Gemma's attention. (thumbs u

Yeah, I thought this book might hit 950 or so....my max was 850 so I just barely grabbed it.

That Rocky Mountain copy is very nice, too! I picked up a bunch of RM WWs in the July c-link auction, including this one.

Don't have it in hand yet, though...

Auction win, finally in hand.

Man, that might be the only 9.9 I've ever seen where I totally get why it's better than a 9.8.

Damn, MC1, More Fun 54, Pre-Robin Tec...I never ceased to be amazed at the way this board rolls.

I passed on dannyboy's copy of the # 18 several years ago for what would be a nice price today. I even PMed October about pricing range back then. I ended up buying Golddust's copy off his site thanks to Jimjum's tip-off it was listed there.

 

Oh! Notice how all these same people are still talking about the same book today

 

We're fans. Good to see that our keenness for the title is still strong.

 

....it's the kind of stuff you never get tired of. GOD BLESS...

P.S. I really miss your website, Andy.

I miss it too!

Can I join in on this years-long conversation and buy one from somebody??

Not yet in hand, but I grabbed this mid-grade Hitler-punch cover off ebay for under $200. Thank you Schmell crazy kooky auction insanity.

That Roly Poly is a great one! Never managed to grab that one myself.
