Oooh, I really wanted that GIC #80, and didn't think my $250 would hold up very long. I was going to up my bid to try to win it, but I pretty much put a bid in on every one of those comics, so I was scared that I'd win too much.

 

Andy

Oh, man I put about 15 bids in as well. I went on a walk and got up to 2 m.p.h but I was sweating. If I had won them all I'd be selling my roomates computer. I'll post em when I get them.

Yikes. I was hoping to snag one of these, but obviously that didn't happen.

 

War is sure ice-cold. Looks like that GIC 91 sale wasn't an isolated bit of insanity.

I thought I was going to win those GI Combats for about ten seconds. I couldn't justify. But I did win a slew of OOAW's. $600 is ridiculous though that cover is pimpin.

Righteous.

What did you pick up Andy?

 

These were my 2 favorite pickups in the auction:

 

OFF #20

 

OFF #35

I was underbidder on the 35. That cover is the best!

The thing that surprised me most about the Haunted Tank sales was definitely G.I. Combat #91... I didn't see that going over $500.... completely missed that one.

 

What do you all think was the thing that made it so appealing...

 

1.) First Haunted Tank cover

2.) Ultra-person_without_enough_empathyin' Heath Greytone

3.) Rarity of that particular issue

4.) All of the above

 

Man, I'm glad I got my copy already.

Shep, that price killed me. The cover is beautiful. A cgc 8.0 copy sold on ebay not two years ago for around $150-$220. I still need mine. I won the 80 page giant Sgt Rock issue! Yay! I bid too little on too many books and got very few.

Hey how was the 87 you won on ebay a while ago. That looked pretty nice. It seemed nicer than the one hitting over $300 two days ago.

Yikes GIC 87 at Heritage is in the stratosphere! I was going to go on a limb and try and win it for outrageous money but I have a feeling my outrageous money will not be enough. Dang.

Thanks DarthDiesel for buying my Romance books.

Thanks to Comicdey for purchases and kindness. Sorry about the missing centerfold.

Thanks to Shiverbones for waiting for me to find the books he requested and then actually buying them! Read away!

I emailed him yesterday inquiring if he'd take 1000 for the lot. No Response.

You traded for that!

 

Do you still have both kidneys?

 

This was Mick's undercopy.

Awesome! I want an overcopy so later I can have an undercopy. What did you have to trade? Great haul for you today. Mike

Holy moly!!!!!!!!!!!

 

One of my least favorite DC war covers.

 

 

You know, I always liked this one... don't ask me why. The border treatment is so weird...

 

Mick, as always, nice books!

 

Shep

Love it! I have never seen it before. I want it.

Thanks to October for some great Enemy Ace stuff! Oh, and a Strange Adventures 205 as well.

1 Enemy Ace

2 Daredevil

3 Spectre/Conan tie

October is killing me! PM when you are selling those war books!

That is a SWEET 79.

 

Got these tonight, very happy.

 

 

Utterly Fantastic. Where did you find those? Good deals? That 78 is the best I've ever seen!

Fantastic book.

It is brutal. I simply cannot compete and do not think a lot of the books are worth the money and would be hard to turn around if needed for a profit. How much do you think the 83 will fetch? $1700ish methinks. The #45 is hard to say because I never see it around at all. Man I love war books.

I saw the Heritage auction stuff too. I think we're all salivating over the same thing(s). It will no doubt be a monster, large-money auction.

 

Looks like they all came from the same source. Wonder who?

 

GREAAAAAT-looking stuff. Now all I have to do is find a bag 'o cash somewheres.

 

Shep

Sincerely, their auctions garner the most interest and money paid for books. I know I cannot afford more than one of the books but would like any single one of them. If you guys have your sights on any of them I wont bid them up. The GI Combat 87 is gonna be interesting. I dont have a 91 nor the first gunner and sarge so those will probably be the ones I will bid on.... and then lose.

Mike

Wow Shep, Is that 91 cgc'd and if so is it the 8.0 that was on ebay a couple years ago? That was a deal.

I have one of those too. Probably from the same pedigree.

More than any book, that one shows fingerprints like I don't know what.

From the big fingerprint collection
