July ComicLink focused auction

[Murphman13]

My one win to pair with the annual #5 I won in last months auction

 

 

Maybe the sept. focused auction will have an annual #3

[red rocks-migration]

Yeah - Batman did her and then did her. Just like Robin.

 

 

your going to love that book, its got blazing colors from a high grade collection, its a really killer copy, you can stare at it for hours. Looks right off the presses. The original owner must have bought this and stored these in his dark closet forever at the right temperature.

 

I have about 30 more like it I didn't blow the money slabbing (good idea, because after slabbing fees I'd feel the need to sell them)

The defect is the cover vein on right edge, otherwise the book had a 9.2-9.4 shot

Checkout now so I get my money

 

working on the DC first are we

 

1 bid, one loss

 

will try again tonight

It doesn't matter when I pay, as you'll get paid 30 days from now anyways, jackazz

I use walk through service, not modern economy

My modest wins. Not sure why I've started collecting Conan, but the Smith run is something I've always liked.

I completely forgot about this comic. I remember buying it off the racks as a kid. I loved that ghastly stuff. Now I've got to find me a reader copy somewhere.

Love that cover! Minimal yet Powerful. Classic!

I guess I'm learning something here - I didn't think CGC downgraded for printing defects.

1 for 2 so far

Prices seem a little stronger tonight, at least the stuff I'm watching.

Remember to check The Exchange, guys! I am selling many comics there.

Good lord a'mighty, what the heck happened with that JIM 3 in 6.0?

[bstevenscomics-migration]

As a kid, "Fireball XL5" was my favorite TV show. A little more than 5 years ago, I discovered that somewhere in the CGC universe was a top graded 9.4 slab of a 1964 one-shot "Steve Zodiac and the Fireball XL5." I searched online...I posted here...I looked everywhere to track down who owned the book. I never found it. That is until that book showed up in the July auction and tonight I made it mine. Paid more than I'd hoped but I'm a happy camper tonight.

What should have happened. I was waiting for it to jump. I thought the price it got was reasonable and could be argued to be low.

The final sale price was higher than any on record in the GPA database for any grade of the book, and a 6.0 just sold for 1/3 the price in December.

Crazy stuff can happen in Clink auctions, especially in pre-hero Marvels like this. I know I would have snapped up that December copy if I'd seen it. Where did it sell?

Agreed! I haven't collected Bronze Age for a while, but the Neal Adams Tec/Batman covers from that era can't be beat. (Love the sig line, by the way!)
