someone wants the best of the best at whatever cost. I've seen the same results on some non-key highest grade Tecs on HA

Yes...I was quite interested in lots of those hg Tecs...but held off...prices very high IMO.  Congrats to buyer and seller both!

Anyone have a pic of how "pink" pages look?  Curious to see how it looks.  Also, how on earth did it turn pink?  Was it through the reds of the cover somehow that may have bled through the pages causing it to turn pink i'm guessing?  

It's my understanding that Fox used pink newsprint to cut costs occasionally...

I will call Vince tomorrow and make arrangements. 

There's no messing with Rick...he has left a sad trail of disappointed bidders behind him...

Those book are beautiful however where does "Pink" PG sit on the spectrum?  Don't think I've seen that before.  Is it a +/- on a book?

I'm not certain but weren't some of the PLs printed on pink pages?  Those are both killer books!

Yes, looks like the 'Tec 31 was the last book of the night as it slowly went up from something like $26K before it finally finished up at $40,444:

I was surprised it went that high but congrats to buyer and seller.  Any thoughts on the Tec 35?

On the occasion of my 2,000th post, it seems like an opportune time to apply for membership in this august club. Here are my two purple tickets:

Ok, as promised here we go. First book up is an extremely ridiculous condition Batman 34. Has a couple of minor stains on cover, but an unbroken spine? Cmon. Very High grade. Wont guess on this one. Let your eyes be your guide.

$1500

I'm partial to this book...that's a beauty! You dont see this one very often in this super nice condition... GLWTS!!

I think I lost my mind. I have not bought books like this for a lot of years, lol...but I couldn't help myself. I have not even gone through all the boxes yet. There are lots of Richie Riches.

Supposedly 1400 comics

Good for you!!  Have fun with it...and send any interesting Bats or Tecs to the boards!

Thanks, Jaydog.  And thanks for your sage advice when I was on the fence

Congrats on a great book, GCG!  I need to reach out to Jaydog next time I'm on the fence on a major purchase...we all need a little push now and then!

 Is it possible that it just might not have any of the tell tale Reilly codes on it or did all of the books from this pedigree collection come with the designated codes without any exceptions?  

FYI I have the Bats 15 and World's Finest 10 Reilly books (both CGC'd as SF copies).  Neither have the name stamp on the back, although the WF has a date code on fc.  Unsure if there was a difference between the books he picked up himself vs. those his parents bought after he went off to the service.

Nicely done!  I came up empty.

those are all May 1941 books so there should be a cap 3 up there as well. I see Superman 10, which isnt too bad for a dime. I would love to have the Wonderworld 24 which is also sitting too long but the Subby was published quarterly so maybe not so odd for it to be there.

I think that is Tec 50, which is also slightly "leftover"...we should go in the time machine and take those old books off that guys hands for a nickel each so he can be current...

From the record setting prices realized for these 3 books, it would appear that the bidders were astute enough to buy the book, as opposed to buying the label.  

 

Very true!!

Joe, I love the Bethlehem books also...curious if you have any interesting stories to share about finding and buying it?

I’ve said it before and I’ll say it again, these boards are awesome!

It’s been a weird month of second chance books for me.

Planet Comics #5!  Arrived today.  Less than 11 months ago I purchased my first Planet Comics book ever, a copy of issue 11.  Now I have a full set of “rivet” issues with the arrival of #5 today!

I’ll probably try to post a pic of all 22 together soon. I just love these books.

 

Super impressive run!!  Congrats!

Great book!  Good luck!

First new addition in awhile:

 

I love the story of Jim Streeter!  I just bought a copy of this issue as well as the Action issue which came out the same month as these were his first 2 stories!  Great book!

Love that Neal Adams sketch!
