Did anyone get the final price on the 9.0 copy of ASM #1 in tonight's ComicConnect auction?  Inexplicably, the site won't show it when I visit the URL for the listing.

It didn't hit reserve, Think the last bid was $92k.

again, if its not too much trouble, is the hammer price shown include the 15% juice?

No it does not (unlike Heritage). The 15% BP will be added to the displayed winning bid.

Isn't their pedigree label black like a credit card reference? Not that they'd upscale a verified label.

Although a grayscale does kind of make sense given the subject matter

For comics anyway. Idk. Wouldn't they want it to be universally the color throughout their encapsulation or will it still be only the comics division, and did jsa used to only do COAs or some kind of encapsulation too?

The "Grey" knows, I think I'm doing this tag right @bc

Given Marvel's modest sales figures at the time, I guess a lot of people missed these great stories when they first appeared.

But almost HALF reprints?? Astounding!

I guess it was cheaper than generating new material. Especially if the new material was a mediocre photocopy of the old.

Those reprints helped this kid get addicted to the late Atlas/early Marvel stories.

I was too young to go to an LCS or con to be exposed to the originals, so I absorbed all those reprint books until I had the ways and means to afford them.

 Never realized that it was nearly 1/2 of the sales, and agree on the profit factor involved.
