Wow.  I've never seen that Captain Battle.  GREAT cover.  
Dibs!

I was shocked at what the  Popular books  went for. I had bids on at least 6 and left what I thought were high enough bids on the two I most  wanted (over $700 each) thinking that would enough to bid and leave, but I was destroyed.
I think I sold a few of mine on the boards years ago, for maybe $50 each. I'm glad I kept a couple and glad nice people won the ones I missed:). Enjoy, they have great stories.
I was busy jumping up and down after winning this one, so I didn't pay enough attention or they might have gone higher.

A recent pick-up. The details on this cover are mind-boggling. No doubt this took Lou a long time to complete.
The "Moroccan carpet" copy.

 

So I'm just recently getting back into collecting and starting with Batman.  This is my biggest book yet (thanks to the encouragement from some of the guys on the boards).  I'm pretty pumped and was told this was the place to post it.
 
 

the answer I've been looking for, all this time

This is an auction. If you want something in an auction you love when it gets to the point where you and one other are bidding. That means the end is near. Will it be you...or not. 
This auction had nothing to do with market value. Did anyone here care about market value on the books they won? I know I didn't. When I paid attention to market value I lost every time. This auction was unique. 
So in regards to Weird 1, and to answer Andy's question, the only we would have known where the other bidder's final would have gone is if Andy went full Simple Jack and bid higher.

You both taste fabulou....
..uh...wait....what?

Yep. I have nine more to add to my pile of "five".

Maybe we'll look back and realize that this was the golden age.

We wait until the next auction, chirp about how lame the selection is, and bid...

I had a very good night...

So Do I!!!  Hangin' with the Brother-in-Laws last weekend!!

 

Only thing for tonight...

Three from yesterday...

I think the "exit strategy" part of the equation is going to be very hard to reconcile for this auction. So much of the bidding was made with no plan to ever sell. When you are competing against that the exit strategy goes out the window. That is why those rare cases where folks overlooked a book make will likely make that book look like a bargain down the road. 

I might do that if I thought any of you had any money left.

Nothing like some well crafted male bondage covers to fire up the old imagination, eh Tim?

I am starting to have some remorse for not bidding stronger on the 9.2 Star Wars 1.

Zoncenti Valon?

I didn't have any of the books I won. Can't wait to open the package when it gets here.

Looking forward to adding some of Mr. Berk's books to Mr. Bedrock's collection.
