Anyways, the Vault auction is structured in a way that it can result in very high prices paid for books due to their automatic auction extension.

 

flashback HOM 185 /flashback

 

 

BTW, did anyone noticed the dot before the issue number 21 of the Secrets of Haunted House I posted? They NEVER had an issue #21....

[greggy]

I think I'll put in a bid on the Secrets of Sinister House 5 just in case!

 

I remember when the Vault auctions used to end on Thursday at a stupid time for me. Now, at least, people should be available for the final push!

[grider67]

Yeah, I noticed the dot.

 

Someone must be confused since the series ended at #46.

 

If I'm not mistaken for Secrets of Haunted House .

 

That is what you are referring to, Sterling?

P.S. Sterling - I am going to overpay for that particular one.

Well, it looks like BSD at Vault Auctions is giving me a run for my money

 

on that Secrets of Sinister House.

[shiverbones]

ok, more content books

hos131 has maybe the most precode style bronze story DC did and its by Fleisher & Suydam. Absoulte masterpiece, without equal really for what it is.

 

[shiverbones]

and ghosts #105 has one of the most over the top deranged stories with suicidal brides, impaling and overt hints of necrophilia

 

[sterlingcomics]

wow--I need to re-read that one...

[sterlingcomics]

Here's a cheesy 30 cent cover from HOM 250 (looks like a Ghosts cover reject)

 

 

Here's HOM 241 which reminds me of the Adams HOM 177 Classic Cover (not the art, just the fact it's about cats)

 

[shiverbones]

yeah, that HOM is a low point, as is the surfing cover

[sterlingcomics]

oh yeah---forgot about that one...

[RickHigh]

Thought I'd post a few more scans.

 

I've always thought this book was kind of overlooked, what with all the Wrightson issues surrounding it, but this is really one fine cover...

 

 

 

[RickHigh]

Here are a few House of Secrets issues that have "just ok" covers (IMO). Although, I do like the #130...

i really like the 104, the colors sell it for me!

[RickHigh]

Is that the same guy on the cover of the 104 and 118???

[shiverbones]

hahaha, he never learns!

[sterlingcomics]

Well, if and when I get back home (storms in WI last night prevented me from getting back home to see my beloved family ) I will be using my Express certificate to get three books graded.

 

My books and estimates below:

 

House of Mystery 175 CGC 9.2

House of Mystery 208 CGC 9.6

House of Mystery 211 CGC 9.6

 

So, I'm playing a little guessing game with myself. I'll post back when they return. (I really think the 211 is a 9.8 but I don't want to jinx myself).

[sterlingcomics]

Nice to see greggy, sterling, and the donger at Vault Auctions.

 

This should get interesting in 14 days.
