Did he paste pictures of himself in George's place?

That was a steep price for a fair! If you think you can get HA to give you a refund based on the missing piece, I would certainly try. I'd be bummed out if I bought a book and found out it had a chunk out that affected the interior art.

I can't answer the question about the possible "INCOMPLETE" notation. But are you sure you want to bother to slab a book that is only a FAIR? I personally wouldn't bother to slab any non-key unless I thought it would get at least a grade of VG.

Did you ever get a hold of Bob? You could try Overstreet12@aol.com. . . . . . . . . . . . , , April Fools! I have no idea what Bob's e-mail address is, but I hope you get in touch with him. I'm curious to hear the end of the story.

You seem to have a complete inability to understand any perspective other than your own. That tells me that trying to debate anything with you would be a waste of time, so I'm going to disengage.

Who gets to decide what's "better"?

That might be the biggest "a" I've seen on an Aurora book! (It looks like it's no. 61, not 51, but it's still a good pick up.)

What book is it? Enquiring minds want to know.

For the reasons you discussed, I seldom bother with Heritage's Make-An-Offer feature. In one case I made a strong offer on a book an the owner rejected the offer but listed the book in an auction a month or so later. Of course I didn't bid, and the book sold for substantially less than what I had offered.

It could be. I'd be curious to know how many bidders there were (not counting the low-ball bidders). There could be just two guys competing for high-grade copies.

Well, a similar raw copy sold for under $200 in '07, so even $4K would have been a stunning result.

I've been surprised by prices before, but I've never been more shocked than I was by this result tonight. (I wasn't a bidder.) https://comics.ha.com/itm/golden-age-1938-1955-/horror/chilling-tales-15-youthful-magazines-1953-cgc-fn-65-off-white-pages/a/122112-17168.s

It might seem illogical for people to be spending so much money on Pokémon cards, etc., but for younger collectors (some of whom are Bitcoin millionaires, Tesla millionaires, etc.), those cards were part of their childhood, and comic books weren't. There's a reason why the money people are shifting out of comic books and into video games and trading cards. Comic books are close to their zenith, whereas Pokémon cards and Nintendo games are on their way up. It's a matter of demographics. I don't begrudge Millennials their hobbies.

Yes, because run building and collecting keys were even higher priorities back then than they are now. (Cover art has become more and more of a focus over the years.)

I would guess that there are a couple dozen out there, but most will be locked in private collections for more than 10 years. I think people are underestimating the ratio of raw books to slabbed books, even for high-grade keys. Slabs are a tiny fraction of the total. Many kick-*** collections were built up in the 60s, 70s, and 80s and are still intact.
