Well thank goodness there are a number of candidates for the job in the hobby. Have a good look at those warped spines, they may soon be the same books that you pay HG slabbed prices for down the road. devil.gif

Here's the story about the auction:

 

Auction Goodies Story

 

Kinda makes me sick since I had an ad in the paper about buying old comics every week for the last year. I think Vincent from Metropolis might be here tomorrow but was unable to get a confirmation from his team working at the store. They said the powers that be had "talked about it" but the person on the phone was unsure on their plans this weekend.

 

The funny books look nice enough to be another pedigree. However, with a new pedigree poping up almost daily you almost have to say, "who cares?" 893frustrated.gif

Isn't it common practice for all smaller auction houses to trim, color touch, clean (chemical) and press their books to make it more presentable for sale? devil.gif

 

Yep, there are no "1st-generation" books anymore... frown.gif

It makes you sick that some old lady is getting a windfall, rather than getting taken to the cleaners?

Has this auction been advertised in CBG or anywhere?

Can't imagine a big crowd for it

I was thinking more along the lines of making me sick knowing that now I can't afford them. :cry:

That's funny, in my first post above I almost did a shout out to Vincent to go warm up the Metro-copter! 27_laughing.gif

The article mentioned a Superman #1... confused-smiley-013.gif

 

Since I have a close friend working at the news station I asked him about that as well. He thinks that the person typing up the article didn't know much about comics and therefore made untrue assumptions. In simplier terms, there is no superman #1. Just the comics in the pictures. Why they don't correct their article I don't know. confused-smiley-013.gif
