Does that HOS 108 9.6 on heritage right now not look anything like a typical 9.6 to anybody else.

[RickHigh]

Thanks. Actually, the seller graded this a NM-, which I tend to agree with. Both of the bottom corners are kinda soft. Still, it's a nice copy. The seller had a bunch of BA horror (mostly HOM), but this was the best of the bunch.

very cool pickup...my copy is "only" 8.5....and rarely shows up.

no...it looks like a 9.6 to me...that's what the label sez...

I can think of a number of better ways to spend $475...

 

Or $573 for that matter.

Here's another:

 

Swamp Thing #8 CGC 9.6 Don Rosa for $122

[buttock]

The 9.6 stuff is getting STUPID prices, but the 9.4 seems to have settled down quite a bit. I picked up one of the OAAWs for about 1/2 of what I expected it to go for.

[Timulty]

I the 9.4 #9, went for about 11 buck cheaper. My Swamp Thing collection is probably going to have to make due without a Don Rosa.

Great QP on those "high grade" copies.

Some nutjob placed an outright bid for $573, hence the astronomical bid jump from $91 to $573.

EEK!! I just noticed that. At least with the Swamp Thing #8, it had good QP!

Yep, I think some of the DC War books would have done better on ebay. But I ain't complainin'.

The labels are perfectly centered.

It seems that people buying those books are more concerned with the labels, so I am sure they will be pleased with the condition of the case.

[sterlingcomics]

All I can say is DAMN on those prices. I had to settle on more Marvel than DC on these titles. I hope whomever got these books are happy...I went overboard on the FTDM 9.8 issue...the remaining books I got were right where they should've been.

 

After looking at some of these issues, it seemed apparent to me that quite a few are pressed.

 

I think if I come back in 5 years or so there will be more than enough "surplus" of these books to get at....perhaps everyone buying these will go into bankruptcy selling these for 20% of the current price.

 

In any event...I've started to read the HOM Showcase book...Widow's Walk in 179 is awesome, as is The Game in 178 (although that story seemed to end rather abruptly)....I want to start talking about these stories shortly once my body can stay in one place long enough for me to type it up....

[october]

Widow's Walk was a good one. I made sure to read it before I flipped the overgraded copy I got a few months ago.

I know you are being funny, but I think to some extent that is a legitimate statement, sadly.

[sterlingcomics]

Yeah, the classic greed or revenge plot was common in these stories. The timid wife putting a hex on the husband was a good twist. The last panel is to die for!

 

One of the things I forgot about in HOM is that they would always have a goof page on "Page 13"...those Aragones strips are sometimes quirky and sometimes hilarious....

When I see miswrapped books that probably cost $30-40 raw going in the mid to high 3 figures I have to think it's the label. If you are going to pay a bundle at least it should have a high QP to go along with the high structure. I mean, those aren't even good looking copies! Just my opinion.

Do you have the mini TPB "Welcome Back to the House of Mystery"? It's a collection of some of the better BA horror stories and a great introductory read to the genre.
