Oh I don't think the ones after these do much for anyone, except for a few toward the end of the series('s). I think Mr. Berk was correct about Fine doing his own. I think who ever took over the duty the first few months after Fine left was doing their best to look like him. 
You have a better eye for detail that I know. It was nice to hear you say that about MM 10 because I have one 
 

. . . unless you drop the slab. 

Those creases in the lower right corner are what keep it to an 8.0.
Maybe he isn't rich; maybe he's a guinea pig so they can perfect the technique before using it on the rich guys.
Did you consign your books early or late? Books that get consigned late sometimes go very cheap on C-Link because buyers either don't see them or have targeted other books.

Wow that looks like at least a 9.0. The spine alone looks well over 9.0. That cover. Why would a rich guy have a sign like that on him? But he does look nicely dressed so maybe.  Nice over the top cover.  My books were the National 7 and the Ghostly Weird Stories 122.

Oh yeah, for sure.  The title color on that dark background absolutely pops.  Oh well, many more to be had out there. lol.

I'm not into Westerns too much, but I thought about bidding on that for no other reasons than it's a Church copy and it's a dark background book from the 1940s that's a 9.0 which looks to be the 2nd highest graded out there (there's apparently a 9.4 roaming around, too... geez).  In the end, I decided not to.  Wish I had because I only got 1 of about 6 or 7 others I wanted in the auction.

And to think, that was probably on the floor in a pile in Edgar’s basement. It probably didn’t even make the “closet”. Too lazy to dig out my Mile High price list but it was probably sold for less than $5. originally…

If this were a ComicConnect thread, Lou_Fine would already be lamenting how low prices are.

WHIZ 1 is out in front at #110K....

One more thing than I'll cool it. Beautiful Church Western from last night. Congrats to the winner.

That's a bargain. Bet it's killer in hand.

What a steal. That book would look sweet in a mylar.

... And, they're off! 

Another Larson slips through my fingers.
I've been trying to get a Larson book for years but have failed each time. Not just any Larson but one that I like. One that's not so high grade that it evaporates my comic fund or I simply can't afford.. And one with his name on it. Full name if possible.  This one was a great candidate. One of the early publishers, 1939 which I love that year. Crime cover, nice. Oh and look an 8.0 and 3rd highest graded sold for only a thousand bucks on CC like 2 months ago. 
Nothing that I saw really went crazy on last nights HA auction so that was a good sign. All the elements of success seem to be lined up. Sat around, waited, had a Ayinger Hefeweisse beer I had been saving for a special occassion since last Saturday........Book opened at a mere 330 something bucks then near instantaneously shot to 1920.00. I did not bid.  Should I have? Maybe one more bid putting it over 2K would have been enough. 
We all lose auctions of course. I guess my point is Wow, a 7.0 sold for double an 8.0. Lamont does it again. 

I have been waiting for a clean looking copy to show up and this seemed to be the right one.

Got this raw with a few others in a trade deal, Just came back the other day.
