$33,200!

That was a strong result, I thought.

1. It's now broken in Firefox. Awesome! 2, Actually, I now know what the problem is. Based on the fact that it's now broken in Firefox (52+) helped as Firefox 52 made a very specific change. It took me five minutes to find (against my better judgment I tested it.) It's one my biggest pet peeves in modern web development. I literally wrote a chapter in a book about this class of mistake. Point your developers to this post. The problem is here. This test is bad: scope.isMobile = ('ontouchstart' in window); Why is it bad? I am on a laptop. A Windows laptop with a touch screen. In both Firefox (now) and Chrome the test ('ontouchstart' in window) will return true even though I have a mouse (and a pen and a touchpad.) Acting like I must be on a tablet or phone and only have a finger to interact with the screen is wrong. To get this to work, I have to drag the window over to the laptop screen from my second monitor (which doesn't have touch) and then reach up to touch my laptop screen whenever I want to interact with an element. Buy a touch screen windows laptop to test on. Here's Patrick Lauke, who knows this stuff better than anyone, describing the exact same class of bug at flickr Watch his presentation to really learn about handling the multitude of inputs on the modern web https://patrickhlauke.github.io/getting-touchy-presentation/#Cover

But, no big deal.

The form is still broken in the world's most popular web browser.

(that's as close as I can get to a sweating bullets emoji)

Eerily accurate prediction

These days you're a rebel. And... the form continues to be broken! Chrome is only 30% of the web, no big deal. (Also, CGC, I'm still available to help. I'm not joking. I do this for a living and could probably make the issue go away in a day- including getting up to speed on your codebase.)

We were discussing that book, at the time, as the book that should have broken the public record price for a comic book (which at the time was $350,000!)

In the post-JP The Mint hangover there were some flat to declining years. The prices for the recycled books that were selling were disappointing (including high profile books selling for a loss) and there wasn't a lot of really great new material to offset it.

400,000 sales is a pretty good sampling size. I know it's the CGC forum way to discount something that's merely good or useful because it's not the platonic ideal, but the Heritage archive is super useful.

Oh, it's imperfect, for sure, but it's still invaluable. The round-robin of Marvel Comics #1 being sold and resold a decade ago is an example of the downside. It is more common in high grade than other Golden Age keys, but it's not nearly as common as the auction record might indicate if you simply search and don't de-dupe the results.

I think you're missing out on a valuable resource if that's the way you look at it. 400,000 points of data (250,000 CGC listings, 150,000 raw) from the biggest, baddest auction collectibles house on the planet is nothing to sneeze at when researching this stuff. If Heritage hasn't listed it very often, that's a valuable indicator. As part of the mosaic of information we have it's a pretty great resource.

The pair would have set you back $27

That's the likely scenario. I love the idea that someone just spotted this book and grabbed it years before the rest of us caught on. I guess it would have been weird either way. Either someone just happened to pull out one of the biggest books a decade before it was notable ("wow, what a cover") or Edgar missed a month on a title that was otherwise complete (which would have been unlikely.)

Ending tonight!

And the Church Wonder Woman #1!

I'm writing this up right now. There's no copy in the catalog multiple people have stated categorically that there's no Church copy. This book didn't pick up steam until the Gerber Guide came up so it wouldn't have been kept out of the catalog as a "key." This is pretty crazy.

The two Secret Wars books are closing tonight. The rest are closing on Sunday. Bid now, bid often!

If they're around in a bit, I might dip back into them. I've trying to put together a run of Justice Leage/JLI and a few of those are books I don't have.

1 down! If my money wasn't tied up in ComicConnect bids, I'd buy a few more of those sweet Justice Leagues.

Are those really that white? Either way those are bright!

All I ever wanted was a 9.4 so I'm happy to work something out.
