The C/OW page designation is the problem with that book. I thought that page quality was supposed to be part of the criteria for the CVA sticker. I've submitted some raw books that ended up with a C/OW designation, but I wouldn't buy a slabbed book with C/OW pages.

Take any book you can name: for every copy in the census, there are probably at least ten comparable raw copies out there. There's no reason to pay an absurd asking price for anything. Why on earth would you agree to pay $2,795 for that book? Consider yourself fortunate that he turned you down. (I've caved and payed absurd asking prices for books before, so I get it, but I'm pretty sure you would have had buyer's remorse.)

The Bleeding Cool article might have mentioned that there are only 6 in the census because it's usually only worth $50. Just a thought.

It is so weird that I have to wonder if somebody created a couple of fake accounts to bid those books up with no intention of paying—some kind of practical joke or something. ETA: Or because the person has a long box full of similar copies that he wants to sell.

I thought that prices were strong in general, and I hadn't even noticed those two—because I had zero interest in those books. Those prices are just plain bizarre. A raw FINE copy of Fight 78 sold for $252—I was watching that one because I recently purchased a slabbed copy—and I would have expected the two Kaangas to be in the same ballpark.

I don't know much of his work, but I know that he wrote the --script for the Star Trek episode "The City on the Edge of Forever," and I've seen the movie A Boy and His Dog, which was based on Ellison's novella of the same name. (I won't offer up any spoilers, but some aspects of that movie were disturbing to say the least.) Original art collectors will probably be interested in the auction, but the comic book offerings are disappointing.

I thought I was the only one! Ironically, every book on my want list is ridiculously overvalued. I can't win for losing.

I would not have been surprised. Most people I knew were into X-Men, New Mutants, ASM, Batman, Cerebus, Flaming Carrot, and maybe a few other titles. I didn't know anyone back in the 80s who was reading Green Lantern. I knew more people who read The Omega Men (which started in Green Lantern) than people who read Green Lantern.

It's a great book, but I'm surprised that a book with a married cover would get a conserved label rather than a green label.

I don't think poor people can afford those. I understand that some dealers have been getting six figures for trimmed copies that are missing the outer cover, so I can only imagine what a pristine copy would be worth.
