Absolutely loved this book and I still remembered thinking this would be the last book that I would ever sell from my collection. And yet it turned out to be the first book that I sold from my personal collection, and I still miss it. I traded my copy for a Batman 1 several years ago. I have neither book now and regret the trade FoggyNelson 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have neither book now and regret the trade Out of all of the books you could have traded it for, the Batman 1 is a real winner from my point of view. From just an overall pure content point of view, as detailed by Overstreet in his price guide, I feel it is by far the top GA book out there and will always remain that way.

I've actually had a couple of transactions with him on the boards and all went well. I remember the Tec 37 7.0 (Larson) selling $23,800 last September on Clink and thought it went cheap. Also a 6.0 sold in Dec for $21K and with what just happened with these type comics you can't blame a guy trying to strike while the iron is hot. I would think that the 3.0 Tec 29 that just sold for $66K makes my 3.5 Tec 29 that I bought less than 4 months ago for $40K more valuable. Much like the Tec 38 selling on comicconnect then the Tec 38 on Highgradecomics.com selling right after that auction. Mr. Storms in my opinion is one of the best in the hobby but it seems we have certain comics in the hobby that best be left to auction. A lot of serious transactions happen on eBay and the websites like High Grade etc but it seems even these places slip through the cracks with people that exclusively deal with the big 3 auction companies otherwise how do you explain the Tec 38 selling at auction for $54K when one in same grade is to be had with click of a mouse for much less.

lhcomics Posted March 26, 2017 Share Posted March 26, 2017 It's interesting to start at page 1 of this thread from 2010. A lot of the pictures are gone but several are not. I wonder who can chime in and say I still have mine or mine are all gone. From the pictures Andre had some killer comics. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Were they not listed on your site for purchase ? Did they not sell ? My definition of "listed" is made available for purchase online. Doesn't really matter by whom. Apparently definition differs from yours. Edited March 26, 2017 by Gotham Kid Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Only stated the obvious. They were made available. I also wrote "listed" not "consigned". You read wrong.

Gotham Kid Posted March 26, 2017 Share Posted March 26, 2017 (edited) It's all good. No issue. By the way Robert, I knew very well you had purchased them as Andre came to me first. I lacked the funds at the time for a lot purchase ( he choose not to break the set up ) and he couldn't work with time payments as he had a court issue or something. He had told me shortly after that you had purchased them. Edited March 26, 2017 by Gotham Kid Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
