Sorry that you didn't win the book that you wanted, beancurd.
I'm really shocked!
I mean, when I saw that Scottie was selling off everything all in one day, I was thinking that he would saturate the market. I estimate that the #2 through #66 total sale was $35k to $40k total. (very rough, assumes an average of about $600 each)
I thought that the relatively few collectors that could afford books of those grades would not be able or willing to bid on more than a few and that this would limit bidding on some books. I was wrong!
In a way, I'm happy that there is so much demand and available cash for high-grade X-Men books. Perhaps the X-Men title is doing better than I realized. I need to get working on that price index study. It's so overdue.

From the ones I was bidding on, it looks like the silver and bronze age ones went for pretty good prices, while the copper were average or below average except the keys and rare ones.
