[G.A.tor]

I did not win a single book in the whole auction.

you generally have to bid on something to have a chance to win

I expected my bill to be less

 

I sense a firesale at Heroes.

nah...just didn't realize I had spent what I had spent...

I was watching a bunch of OA last night. I didn't even get a chance to bid on the Colan HTD page that was up for auction. There was some fierce competition for it, but I think I know who won it.

I DID win a sweet Colan 2 page spread from the Tomb of Dracula magazine. Great architectural work, beautiful sense of motion, and fantastic Palmer inks/ink wash:

 

 

And I won my first Kirby OA page.

 

His silver age superhero stuff is out of my league price-wise, but I loved this page from Rawhide Kid. It has some classic Kirby secondary characters. Great faces.

I was the underbidder on the Wings #84 - that was it for me this time around!

First time I've ever been shut out in a comic link auction. Prices seemed strong on the Golden Age stuff.

Nice OA wins!

Hey Roy, thanks for the offer.

 

I'll email them today and ask for shipping cost.

 

That way I'll know what our lunch budget will be if you end up bringing it back.

9.2 is much nicer looking. I think we will see more of this going forward

One book that I was really interested in, but was quickly outbid was the 9.8 X-Men #120 White pages. It ended at $1,615. I don't have GPA anymore but this seems somewhat high for this book, any thoughts? Seems like prices in general were strong.

Now I know what went wrong

 

 

 

 

I was actually interested in the Bat 227 9.4 but was outbid, 1500 was my max and I was out.

Price looks about right. Last recorded GPA sale was $1793 (Feb '11)

I thought FF's were pretty strong -- the #33 was a high price, as was the White Mountain #36 and the #54 ($550). The #38 went for less than I thought, the #30 more than I thought. Both were excellent looking comics.

 

Biggest surprise to me was the #17 in 9.4 (Northland, white pages) only going for $4600 or something? I should have bid!

Yep I was gunning for the #33, but got outsniped on a price I thought was too high anyway. All's well that ends well.

The #33 looked like a 9.6 hiding a 9.4 slab
