Wahoo!! Not me, I got a pocketful of scratch, two cgc VF Silver age blue chippers I can liquidate to cover the spread and a zero balance credit card that pays 1.5% cash back that will cover the interest charges. Imma goingst to get me sum............ ..............well, within reason.

It took less than 24 hours for the bidding to clear 7k.

You may be correct in that assessment because this issue is comic book thin despite being mag sized. Looking at my other mag slabs I would be inclined to agree that the additional thickness might help offset the pressure from the warped inner well.

Just checked my magazine sized copy of - I'll Be Damned #4 - which was graded this spring and yep, C curve. I'm afraid to pull out and look at my Swampy #1 9.6 which was pressed and slabbed a few months ago.

My favorite Miller cover...... with a MJ insert.

I'm guessing it hammers around 12k. When I saw it listed I had to change my underwear. You don't see this issue come up at auction in 9.0 or better very often and this is a 9.6 pedigree.

Oh, it's not....... It's like watching a pack of trash-pandas pick a fight with a polar bear. And yes, that makes me one of the pack.

Thank You Mike, you're my hero.

I just have one, but it's a keeper:

Soooo, instead of the award plaque with your name and set category listed you get a "one size fits all" pennant. Glad I won last year. The plaque & Batman slab were the best part of the prize package. Oh, and as far as the grading credit. I've sent four submissions in since my win and they have yet to apply any of it. I even called them after mailing my latest submission and the woman I spoke to apoligised said the credit would be applied.........yeah......nope.......8 days later they still charged my credit card. It's hard to be happy about a win if you can't claim part of the prize.

Your observation is correct.

Scratched a couple more off the list, just a half dozen left. Slowly but surely ...

Uh, quick re-cap for those of us who were too busy "furiously washing our junk" to pay attention. Please and Thank you.

Fine by me. Depressed prices means Imma goingst ta get my 9.8/9.6 CPV freak on!

Nice to see you back.

No worries. I've had GPA for it seems like forever, best $10 a month I spend. I use it all the time. No Batman #357 9.6 CPV sales listed on GPA but the 2 9.8 CPV's sold this year went for $660 & $840 while the two US newsstands went for $1092 & $1099! note: Clink sales are NOT listed on GPA. Even the last two ubiquitous Direct copies went for $798 & $600. I think there is still a lot of confusion among collectors about CPV's and other price variants. Oh well, more primo opportunities for me. I hope they stay sleepy....very sleepy.......so......very........sleepy.........

That's the one. I know Clink doesn't like listing books that sell for less than $300 in their Featured (Feb, May, August & Nov.) auctions so I didn't think I had much of a chance but my $249 bid just barely held up.

Latest Clink auction win. I threw in a lowball bid and won a cool book at a great price.
