Magneto Posted November 19, 2012 Share Posted November 19, 2012 My appreciation for pre-hero marvels grows every time I read this thread. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
*Bronze age fan* Posted November 19, 2012 Share Posted November 19, 2012 Good luck with them! Keeping my hands off those (but working on others!). If you miss out on the AA #3 that is one I am actively trying to upgrade from my 6.0 and you'd get first crack if/when I do if you still need it. EDIT: got the one I was really after (the AAF #10 8.0) plus two others that fell to me really cheap on lowball bids I forgot about. Will post scans shortly... NICE! Congrats! I lost the AA #3. Lost 4 out of 5 so far. No big deal. And I LOVE the one person who sent me a PM telling me the ST # 76 is a tuff book and he was going to be bidding on that one. Why would you send that PM? . I am ALL in on your AA #3 is you ever upgrade! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mysterio Posted November 19, 2012 Share Posted November 19, 2012 Sorry to hear about the AA #3. As for the #76, you know I've supported your quest, but you posted that you were going for it. So would you prefer that someone bid and not tell you, or be straight with you that they were also interested and would be bidding? Not trying to be a , but other people have want lists too. So would the appropriate ettiquete be to stay silent and bid, or give you the heads up that they're bidding too? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
*Bronze age fan* Posted November 19, 2012 Share Posted November 19, 2012 No thats fine. You need it go for it. Everyone has want list that they wanna fill. What I did was kinda outside board ettiquete anyway. But, I would rather not the PM saying...I am bidding on that. So stay silent and bid. I really dont wanna start a debate about it. No hard feelings on anyone bidding on anything. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mysterio Posted November 19, 2012 Share Posted November 19, 2012 No worries, not trying to start an issue here either. We all love these books, and it can be tough going after the same ones sometimes. I am sure we regulars in this thread bid against each other way more than we realize. So for anyone paying attention to the Sparklecity books tonight, was it just me or did several go for a song? I picked up the ST #95 for what I thought was a low price, and some others seemed low too. Not all, but several good deals were had IMHO, which is unusual for Sparklecity.

(thumbs u If that true...That some went for cheap. It might be because of the number of Pre Hero books they listed. I have never seen them list that many at once. To get top dollar they should only do a handful at a time. The same people are bidding on most of these. You have to make your mind up about what your going after. Cant bid on everything. Even if we would like to. Dont forget me if the AA #3 turns into an undercopy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bronty Posted November 19, 2012 Share Posted November 19, 2012 Thanks guys! anybody got an extra large lobster fork and some butter sauce I can borrow? mmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mysterio Posted November 19, 2012 Share Posted November 19, 2012 I'm sure you could find a fork option down at the local hardware store, and maybe Sam's or Costco could supply the quanity of butter you'd need! You may need a giant pre-hero group get-together to help you eat though, shellfish doesn't keep long! What are the grades on the two covers? I can't quite read the label on my monitor and I'm curious. Here are my three pickups from the Sparkle City action last night. I was targetting the AAF intently, but the other two fell to me as bargains (or at least I thought so). All are upgrades, the latter two for raws. It seemed to me last night that there were a ton of bargains in their final hammer prices, but looking again this morning there weren't quite as many as I thought. A few did stand out, like the WOF #6 in 7.0 for $75! Or the JIM #43 in 7.5 for $255 (not quite as crazy as the WOF, but still quite low for that book in that grade). I was an underbidder on the latter. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DR.X Posted November 20, 2012 Share Posted November 20, 2012 Just back today from CGC. I may have a few cold ones to celebrate. Pic's are a little fuzzy and don't show the nice color on these. And my purchase from Wizard Chicago. Book has really nice yellows and reds on the cover. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
