you whippersnappers will take our stuff

No, I have the same problem

And mine by mule

The book and the wife are keepers

Us lawyers are celebrated worldwide for exactly this

I think what catman is saying that due to the holder, the book surface itself is not directly on the scanner bed. It’s 1/8 to 1/4 of an inch away, and the distance affects the scan, and compensating for this distance can lead to some creativity

Davet75, you are hilarious. Thanks for this!

I feel like I should know this, but I don’t. Is Cap 1 the first cover appearance of Hitler? Does anyone know? Does everyone but me know?

That IS a cool cover. And if you are accurately recounting your purchase price, I am prepared to triple your profit

I’m sorry, this is not my side of the street, but did I understand correctly that this book went from “My Confessions” to Bible stories?

Great books! Good solid copies There’s a Science 2 in the current CC auction.

Gator, thanks for making the book possible. But HEY: lay off the tie, bubba

Thanks, Wynne-Tec. I’m a bit conflicted about the “parted out” aspect, too. But I never crack my books out, and although fun, reading the reprints don’t have the same allure for me as holding the original. That’s where the pages come in. It’s a glimpse inside of the book that I wouldn’t otherwise get.

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

Now that Heritage and Clink auctions have ended, I’m seeing a noticeable bounce in the CC auction bidding

It ain’t $5k, because I bid that and it didn’t meet reserve

These pages are everywhere now. I bought one myself, so I know they are all from a boardie. Theres also some important pages from Tec 27 and Action 1 in the current CC auction. i think the acceptance into the hobby of single pages has grown. Personally, I love em That said, MAIL CALL! I just got this back from CGC Wednesday

Well done!

Good lord. Some people have lost their sense of fun. I guess there’s room for everyone in this hobby

Not disputing that point, at all. I agree entirely. The comparison is this: entry level copies of the big books have more bidders simply because there are more people who can swim at that end of the pool. As a result, entry level houses, like entry level copies of the bigger books, get an artificially higher dollar per square foot(for houses), and price per point(for comics). Once you’ve gotten you first house, or your first big book, you now have some equity with which to trade up to a better house, or a better copy of a big book. The buyers who come straight out of the gate, mostly do not have the means to jump straight to the bigger houses or the better copies of the bigger books. You can look at the PPP on Cap 1, Bat 1, any of those. I guarantee you, that relative to the higher graded copies, the lower level(entry level, if you will), command a higher PPP. That’s because you have 10 bidders who can afford to bid at the lower levels, for every 2 who can afford to bid at the higher levels.

I love the part where “you have nobody else to blame except yourself if you win”! As the accidental owner of a few books, this made me laugh
