General thread has the what did you buy in Comic Link ... lots of rah about silver and bronze ... and some gold ... let's always look at these auctions from a golden point of view... it is insane to see what some of the silver age and bronze age is selling for ... then look at the Gold lying somewhat cheaply in the gutter ... honestly by historic measures ... gold is cheap relatively speaking.

 

Of course always buy what you like ... but there were some tough tough books in this auction... things that are truely rare and special ... ... great cover high grade pedigree iconic character and more...

 

Here's three books I think that went way to cheap relative to some others ... you just don't see them ... and for the record I'm not a Batman nut ...

 

Detective 62 ... went under guide for one of the top ten issues in grade now and forever ... although time will tell. And a Pedigree ... should have bid again on this one... great black joker cover ... should have gone much higher ... this book is so superior to the bronze age stuff (in my opinion)...

 

Detective 69 it went for above guide ... but this is an insanely powerful cover... and it's one I never see for sale in grade or hardly otherwise... this is a trophy book. I should have gone all out on this ... congrats to some bidder for hammerin down on this one... so sweet.

 

Detective 71 ... wow ... under 5 k for one of the all time great Batman covers ... a steal. I should have bid higher ...I know the price seemed high but again relative to the prices on some of the silver age and bronze age stuff ... go figger ... when the market wakes up again to what is truely rare ... right now is a great time to buy golden age ... with people paying 3k for Green Lantern 76.... great book and all but come on ...

 

 

 

Try getting this three books in this grade again anytime soon at any price .... try getting any three silver or bronze age books ... period ... no comparison. These three and many other golden age books are rare opportunities.

 

What books honestly could have and should have gone higher ... IF the market were awake ... what ones should you have bid one more time for?

 

This can be a fun little thread ...

I tried to bid on the Captain Marvel Adventures #1 CGC 8.5 ® and missed by a second. I thought that book went too cheap.

So far I won the Captain Marvel Jr. 12 in 9.0 with ow/white pages and a bright white cover for $200 less than guide. I think this is a steal. It even has a WW2 cover. I'm bidding on a couple other books that end tonight. :wishluck:

I won the Four Color #10 for under Ostreet guide. I have been looking for a clean covered copy for a while to add to my Flash Gordon/Buck Rogers space <3 genre collection. No shill bidding as I placed my bid a day before auction end and then forgot to check it before the Focused Auction ended while I was having dinner on the Westcoast. :whistle:

Black Terror. You should add a comma to your thread title. It looks like a thread about CL shilling their own auctions. lol

 

Quite a few GA deals in this auction so far. I slept through the bidding tonight. doh!

I'm discouraged anyway, This auction was my third chance to get the Black Terror #1 in 8.5 and the third time I didn't win. :cry:

For the amount I spent on that book a year and a half ago, I would have loved for you to bid on it as well :sorry:

I won this, and probably paid too much. Nonetheless, it is a grail I have wanted for a long time and I will be holding on to it for many years. Another top 5 on my wantlist crossed off.

Nice pickup, but your comments have me curious.

You have bought a lot of incredible books. What put this one in your top 5?

I love this book. Its easily in my top 5 covers. I love the savagery of it I guess? I just think its a really striking image. Its one thing to shoot your enemy in war, but to rip his helmet off so he drowns? Crazy.

 

BTW, I thought I was going to win this one with my six times guide bid... but I wasnt even close.

I got this for a little under half guide. Not sure if that is a good price considering the rat chew and minor color touch...but I'm happy.

This has always been one of my top Schomburg covers. It is action packed, violent, WW2 cover, nazis drowning, Black Terror, scarce - just a few reasons it has been on the top of my wantlist. I also like swimming covers :D

 

Terry Toons 7 is my target tonight.
