In trying to describe how a thread like this impacts us as fans of the hobby, anything I say will fall short of how important this run of comics is that you have put together. 

Congratulations on this accomplishment and thanks for sharing. We are in awe!

Anyone want to sell me their Tec31 for 90 ?

Me!

My goal this year is to complete my Batman 2-10 run. I wish my goal for this was last September when this #2 sold for $15,600. I just bid $20,040 and got immediately shot down.

Did you get a SGT Fury 142 35 center in the collection? 

No. I didn't get any of the super rare ones. 

It was either 1988 or 1989 when I had a booth selling at SDCC that I was asked if they could photograph a few of my comics for the Photo Journal. I was surprised when my name made the book in the list of contributors.

I remember 2 comics specifically. Famous Funnies #17 & #18. Back then the 17 would be called NM, today's standards easily a 9.0. The only flaw was a 1/4" bindery tear at bottom of spine.

The comic was stolen a few months later at the Bruce Schwartz LA show. Gone forever but located in 1999 on eBay auction. I messaged the seller asking how he got the comic book, but I didn't get the answer I was looking for.

I guess I expected him to say I stole it from your booth at the LA comic show. Anyway, I never told him it was stolen years ago. If I ever see it again for sale, I will try and buy it. If anyone knows who owns it I would like to buy it. 

The LA shows at the Ambassador Hotel and later at the Shrine Auditorium were awesome in the 80's but thieves were everywhere. 

Hot Wheels were a big part of my childhood in 1970s. 

I have about 20 in my collection. These 3 are my favorites.

Congratulations! Cool comic.

What a bummer. I was happy for you. Hopefully this scammer gets caught. 

At least you know what it feels like to have a grail even if only for a couple days. 

Congratulations! Cool comic.

Congrats! You a funny guy...

I bought the Thorsen maybe 4 years ago for $40k and sold it a year ago for $46k.  I thought at the time it should have gone for more, but this most current price of $33k is ridiculous.

Since I mostly follow Timely these days, I noticed the Caps did well.  Overstreet jumped the prices on the 46 Holocaust cover pretty dramatically, but last night's 2.5 still went for 4 times OPG.  The 37 (best cover of the run, IMHO) went for 7 times OPG, which is similar to the one Heritage sold in their event auction last week.  The 33 went for a whopping 13 times OPG, which outperformed Heritage.

On the Tec 35, seller not happy, buyer very happy. 

Merry Christmas Comic Geeks!

The reason I didn't go as low as 1.5 is the spine is still partially together. I've seen comics present as nice as this one with the cover completely split get a 1.5.

I say 3.0 and it should look really nice after dry cleaned. 

Still long gone. Maybe one day it'll surface. 

I used to be a follower and collect the cool GA comics like Batman, Captain America etc.

Then I discovered a hidden gem in Leroy comics. Only 6 issues but WOW every issue is packed with excitement and intrigue, so I've heard. Gotta read them one day.

Now I need to find the very elusive #1 issue.
