Comiclink results....holy cr@p!

[JiveTurkeyMoFo]

No worries, there was nothing on my Schomburg radar that was a "must have" in this auction. I got the books I wanted earlier in the week.

 

Is that really a Schomburg cover? GCD says it is

 

 

Nope. Allan Anderson. Illustration Magazine 18 has a very nice article about him with lots of pictures of his pulp and comic cover work.

 

I knew it! Actually I didn't know who drew it, I just had a feeling it wasn't Schomburg. Adam to the rescue again.

 

I think this is a mystery worth investigating....

I need my lawyer books!

 

 

That is one pretty book Mark

Hey Tim & Tb

 

I got the WDCS 140 golf cover which I was so upset at losing out on the other 9.4 in HA last month but got the Clink one last night and save myself some bucks and this one has White pages too !

 

and for 2K less than what it sold for in 06 !

 

Man, I hope this guy (God Bless his soul) has more Ducks !

 

Nosed out on the WDCS 43 cause CLink's lots are too bunched up for this old man.

 

Best, - Hank

 

Congrats, Hank!

 

You will be blown away when you hold this book in person, because that yellow cover just pops!

Great win, GAFan! This price seems much more reasonable than what the top copies have sold for in the last few years. Also, it's very interesting to see how collectors have singled out this great cover as far more important than the Guide suggests.

[shiverbones]

it's more than the great cover, it's a decent key too. Gyro Gearloose went on to appear in hundreds of comics, as well as on TV.

[Transplant]

Yeah. I think it's funny that CGC didn't even note in on the label on that 9.4.

[KING of JOKERS]

Yeah. I think it's funny that CGC didn't even note in on the label on that 9.4.

 

It's an old label. To CGC's credit, on the "new" labels for this book, they do note the following (1) 1st appearance of Gyro Gearloose and (2) 2nd appearance Cark Barks Uncle Scrooge cover.

Thanks Tb and Tim. Yea, this I would say its an important key. One of those books I persoanlly singled out when I started on collecting the run and had absolutely no problems going many multiples over book on and can't wait to get it in my hands. Did any of you guys win (or know who won) WDCS 43 ?

Nice pickup - I was the underbidder at $1250, and was the underbidder on the Heritage issue at $1500 (which ended up selling for over $2,000 with juice), so you got a great deal on this book - congrats!!

[Bonds25]

Looks like you won a ton of cool books Mark! (thumbs u

Thanks Bonds25, I hope you get the other 9.4 out there one day (David Toth owns the other 9.4 I know of and his son says he's on a Carl Barks mission). - Hank

Mark I saw those prices on those More Fun's and your right they went pretty cheaply, looked like they were almost ignored. (thumbs u

[Transplant]

There were several of the low number Four Colors that I would have bid up if I wasn't focused on the 147 or if my auctions had done better.

 

So here are my 2 wins:

At about 40% off GPA and 45% off Guide, this seemed to me to be a real bargain.

 

 

This one just looks pretty:

Congratulations, Transplant, that 147 was a great deal. I sold an idential copy (the same?) on eBay in 2007 for 60% more than what you paid.

I think that 2007 and 2008 are looking a Duck bubble. Fine by me from a collector's POV but, as you've mentioned, not necessarily good for the overall health of the market.

 

This was a different copy than the one you sold.

[telerites]

My only win although I didn't bid on too much. A Mile High under $200 with a Schomburg cover and Frazetta art inside.

 

 

It goes well with this other Mile High that was already in my collection.

Aren't you tempted to marker in the eyes?

That was me bidding against you down to the end.

 

Congrats on a nice win!
