I love your point about the housing market, and agree entirely. And yes you are right: the comics market could go bust, and our books lose their market, and we all starve. I know we keep busting thru ceilings with the prices, and I think it’s all gotta end somewhere, But what a ride its been!!!!

Woo woo, you are one creative guy! I was just reading your Cap 1 post when this popped up. Sounded like you were one of the original guys in this great hobby of ours

I was the underbidder, and stopped at $8k. I promised myself a few months ago I was going to take a break from buying, so 4.5 times guide was as high as my somewhat elastic code of honor would allow. Wait, I just reread your post. So you didn't get it either??!! I was actually picturing catman_america as the guy with whom I was doing battle on the book. Oh, well. I'd been looking for a high grade copy of that book for a long time. At the risk of repetition, allow me to repeat an earlier post: My winnings so far - (This Page Intentionally Left Blank)

Who are these Nick and Mike guys? I assume they have long faded from view . . .

My winnings so far:

Well that was a reveal. Nice book

Not sure what “Buno” means, but i’m glad you bumped this thread, because of the next sentence . . . This sentence here captures the essence of why I dont find the silver age hunt as fun. I love many of the silver age books, but they are all available at any time and at any place. You can always find a dozen AF 15s or whatever at any auction site, it seems. All I gotta do is match the condition/price up to whatever wad of cash I happen to have in my pocket at the time, and voila! I now own that book. no challenge there. Yes, I know these books are good investments and all, but still.

Of course the Denver and San Francisco copies of Cap 1 are stunning, but all I could ever do is dream. On the other end of the spectrum is CCs Cap 1 2.5(not my book). I’m curious how this will be received, and wonder what you guys think. On the one hand, it’s got tan pages and tape. On the other hand, I think the eye appeal is way high. Any predictions? For what it’s worth, I’ve already got my copy and will not be in the hunt for this. I genuinely am interested in the thoughts of others more knowledgeable than myself. btw, there’s another Bat 1 with brittle pages in the CC auction, too.

That makes more sense, but yes he shows a meager 3 posts to his name. I say that knowing full well my post count is meager too

Wow. 3rd post, and all you have is a pedigree Cap 3??!! welcome, friend

Gator's pic is not a scan. It's an iphone in one hand, book in the other. His wasn't meant for accuracy, I don't think. Remember, just 2 months ago he reported getting a scanner.

There’s more high grade centaur AMFs in the current CC auction

A crybaby with enough stroke to bend CGC to his will

I always thought Bucky was the worst part of the cover anyway, so this is good . . .

When I last exited the hobby, it was the year 1997. The book was hot then. Now that I put a year to it, I must be old. Thanks for that

It wasn’t that long ago this would go for multiples

Somehow that manages to be both heartbreaking and uplifting at the same time. I may see you out there, friend

You’ve seen the Martin Sheen movie about it, right?

+ 1 on The Way. No long boxes being carried, however, unless I hire a sherpa

Ugly AF

Brittle pages is why. Bat 1s with brittle pages have continued to get $40 - $50k PP, but I cannot believe that is sustainable. This may be the breaking point here on this book

Still a somebody

Is this his Match.com profile pic?

His Selling Prices seem reasonable But seriously, this is such a time capsule. Would love to know when this ad ran. Tough Kid Squad was a more expensive book than Supe 1 and Cap 1. Is he a boardie? Hey, fella, put a shirt on!

Is this a joke? Is this for real? Who is this seller?
