I've gone too far to go back now...

 

Don't oversell the reading point....I might need to keep my undergrade copies for that

[Jayman]

Hey Sterling - Cheney's phantom is one of my fave movies of all time! I even get people who woul dhate Silent films to watch that & they are mezmerized! Great avatar!

 

I fully agree, the unmasking still stands up as one of the best "double" fright scenes in a movie. Another older fave of mine is Jean Cocteau's Beauty and the Beast from 1946. Simply a classic!

 

 

Sorry to go OT...back to the books!

[HighVoltage]

I admire you gents will go for the higher grade stuff. Just know you have a buyer for your undercopies right here when you do!!! I appreciate these books that have great eye appeal, and that could be in VF to VF/NM- and I'll be satisfied. I think they look great in the thicker mylars and the best part is I can read them again and again!!!

 

Kudos to you, sir!

[HighVoltage]

by the way, HV, your con booth was wish I had spending money. If that tomahawk didn't sell its a crime!!!!

 

Thank you!

 

And the Tomahawk did sell - such a cool cover.

Been meaning to post these sweet copies. Got them a little bit ago.

I think its a combo of things...

 

1) A large collector moving on and dropping his collection into the market.

2) The 9.2 grade was so affordable that a few collectors accepted this grade and wrote the 9.4 grade off.

3) Another high grade collector focusing to just 3 main runs and forgetting the others.

4) A few more being slabbed after people finally realizing there are buyers for this stuff.

5) Some collectors are just waiting around for the books (proven tough to find in high grade) to arrive into the market.

6) Some people are entering other once overlook genres(i.e. War and Western). You can't buy all the high grades in every genre. Unless you have very deep pockets.

 

Excellent breakdown, Andrew!

First time I've posted here. This just came back from CGC. Their turnaround times on moderns now are incredible!

Isn't that one of the books I outbid you on from Bobcat back in the day? What was the winning bid, $10 or something?

scanner is not so hot on slabs.. but these just in

actually these auctions (on clink) were kind of weird - I saw several new books listed, two of which had already sold at what I assume was the BIN price - I figured "ok, someone is snagging these books, so I better be snagging too if I want any of them.." so I quickly made offers and accepted the counter-offers. In hindsight, maybe that cost me a few unneccesary dollars.. the fierce competition ended with me. still, happy to get them (I figured I'd go for the 9.6 too, since 9.4s seem commonplace.. warehouse find?)

I'm really proud of this one. 1 of 1 in 9.6 and next highest is 9.0. I've been looking for this one for a while, and a PC ped copy to boot.

Very Nice!!! ( now shoot me a PM about your undercopies )

I wondered who snagged that in a heartbeat.

There are still some books, mostly late 70's that just have not turned up in 9.4 graded. Books like Ghosts #50, Weird war #50, HOM #262, 276 and scores of others. They must be out there, but all this pressure for years and still nothing!

 

I agree....and everyone of those I need. Of course, the usual suspects: 175,176,179, and 190.

 

What's been HTF in Witching Hour?

[sterlingcomics]

I wondered who snagged that in a heartbeat.

 

Your little song and dance about letting $25 or $50 stopping you getting a book (regarding HOM 179) sprung to my mind, so I hit the BIN. The status in the census and it being a PC copy helped settle that "Real Quick". If it was a later issue I would've picked and poked at the bid, but not these earlier issues.

My son goes into the military on Monday, but I plan on being home this week. I should make some significant progress this week.

Nice one there, Jim
