    Don't know enough about grading yet otherwise I was itching for it too...next time when I am older and hopefully wiser....

    Ha! thanks - yes it was. Don't think I'll be able to keep up with that pace unfortunately - but lets see!

    Thanks Lou...and a broader thanks to both you and the other boardies. Havn't bought anything from the forums yet but been given a lot of crucial advice - most appreciated!

    Was only introduced to the boards this past month and it rekindled my childhood love for comics...but now in slab form. Covid made me wait a couple weeks to pick up my first ever haul, but its finally here...

    Totally agree and yes that's what I was referring to. I've bought a few of the live listings as well - just thought an alert on specific criteria for live listings would be interesting. Don't know George but love what he has built!

    Might be a dumb question been wondering why GPA doesn't have a wantlist which alerts you when a comic (+grade) you are looking for comes on to market. Understand this would decrease the number of hits they get on their set (and therefore ad revenue), but is there another reason I'm missing? I guess one solution would be to write a -script which checks automatically...

    Wow never seen 4 at once before...

    thankfully from the looks of it, these big guys aren't slowing down any time soon...

    This thread is more entertaining than most movies in the last year...
  16. CournalCrunch
    One of the best threads I've seen - amazing pieces!

    Just a spectator for this one but was fun to watch!

    Good way to put it. Having only participated in two of these auction it’s left me scratching my head how some items are hugely overpriced and some do not gain momentum at all. More similar to stock trading than I had expected.
  20. CournalCrunch
    Very cool collection!
  21. CournalCrunch
    In!
  22. CournalCrunch
    Thanks for everyone's insights on this. Auction ended up going well!

    As far as I could tell its just for folks who cannot make the live auction itself. So if you have work etc you don't miss out on your lot. And I guess there is some gamesmanship at play to have the bid higher so some folk are put off. Just conjecture though. I'm sure people with more history can attest to why What are you bidding for? Best of luck!

    Hey Avi thanks for your note, I have been researching a little more and just tracked a few of the lots before mine and it looks like the auction starts as soon as the precursor bidding finishes. It just goes through the lot numbers in order after that. At least thats what I have been able to gather so far

    ComicConnect has a 3 minute extending bidding after each new bid I believe. Heritage has "Bid protection" to make sure you don't get sniped, but I dont understand what the difference is between that and just setting a higher bid in the first place since they say its a "Secret maximum" so only shows the next bid increment vs the second bidder
