takeyourlemons Posted April 19, 2004 Author Share Posted April 19, 2004 Well, bobcat.enterprises had some pretty good late bronze horror tonight. Well, tough crowd on eBay tonight.weweir is a relatively new ID that seems to be the 'new' redf1shing' in terms of buying horror stuff. greggy 'almost' pulled away with probably the most important book for me Unexpected 164. I also got away with another Ghosts 61 and 73 which should be upgrades to my existing copies. Is it me or is this stuff in the right grade going up and up? Each book ended around $25-$30--even the Witching Hours, which are usually $10-$15 books. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Doesn't really matter anyways. Not a real high priority. However, I got beat in a lot of lots. Bobcat is my favourite seller on eBay now. Superior grading and service. I may have to concentrate on his Super Hero stuff now! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shiverbones Posted April 19, 2004 Share Posted April 19, 2004 i cut you some slack sterling, those ghosts were on my hit list! i won a few last time, figured i wouldn't be too greedy... and yes. Look at the prices, its getting nutty. Meanwhile pre code horror has been selling for under guide. Is it a permenant switch in markets, or temporary fire?

takeyourlemons Posted April 19, 2004 Author Share Posted April 19, 2004 Hi greggy I was drooling over those 'Young Love' issues..super awesome. Nice book there Yes, bobcat is my favorite seller. He applies CGC grading to his raw books. He even called me one time just to chat in general, and his story in regards to how he built his collection over the years is very entertaining. Overall a very nice guy, with EXTREME customer service and friendliness. I would be in if all sellers were like this... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'll try to coordinate our sniping activities to save money... My guess is that the kiddies collecting bronze are back revisiting their childhood--precode folks in their elder years selling collections that have no connection with current generation Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Those issues are just too tough and I had to pick up the ones that were scarcer. Sure, the prices were steep but it's not like another copy is likely to come up again soon! Regarding Bob's grading, I have never been disappointed with his grading. In fact, the last 2 orders were phenomenal! Got a nice DC Special 7 NM and 10 NM- graded by him that should grade at CGC one notch higher! That's why his prices realized are so high for his books. P.S. I hope I'm right about the 100 pagers not showing up soon. I bought a CGC 9.8 100 pager from Bob a few years ago for $405 but a few months afterwards, he put up another 9.8 copy of that book. It was a war related one and I couldn't believe it. I can't wait until he finally lists more! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

takeyourlemons Posted April 23, 2004 Author Share Posted April 23, 2004 actually, I remembered it a while back, but forgot about it. Oh, today I got a stack of about 20 Ghosts today that are DEFINITELY 9.4 or better-these will replace some of my VF copies. The gloss on the book is like new--and ALL have white pages. How did I luck out? (hint: get your books where it's cold). Oh, and some of my bronze horror grades that came back: Ghosts #1 CGC 9.4 White Pages Witching Hour #1 CGC 9.0 White Pages Witching Hour #1 CGC 9.2 OffWhite-White Pages Also, I got an Unexpected #109 CGC 9.4, HOM 215 9.6+, and HOS 110 9.6+ in today--and they look great!
