Alright whos the wise guy that out bid me on the TOS 49 with 2 min left?

[ericc123]

Okay fess up people no one mentioned that there was a VF/NM copy of TOS #49 on the heritage monthly auction all month so I know some of you had to have been watching it. So the big question is who won it? Did you finally get your grail Suppa? I held in there till $800 but just couldn't go beyond that. So if anyone knows who won please share .

wasn't me, i didn't even know can you post the link?

[ericc123]

Sorry Suppa I tried but it looks like it's not on their site right now. Something wierd is going on though some of the prices have changed. I bid over $300 on the TOS #56 and it now says it ended at $290 this just doesn't make any sense can anyone shed light on why this might happen???

Something freaky is going on with the Heritage site. My auction results haven't finalized yet (usually the ones I win turn blue) and they haven't gotten the "Post Auction Sale" pages up yet.

I'm glad to see that I'm not the only one getting strange Heritage web page results. I won my first book through them last night (Shock Suspenstories #6 in F- for $56!!!) and was getting dismayed to see it no longer displayed.

 

For you Heritage veterans out there, how long is it before you get your invoice from them?

[CosmicBob]

I finally got my email invoice from them a little while ago. Usually it's almost immediately after the close of the auction. You should get it soon. They will follow that up with an invoice mailed to you (if they have an address for you).

 

The Post Auction sales page is still not up though.

Well I bid you up on the 49 to $800 and I won the 56 and 68 9.2. if you bid $300 on the 56 it would not have mattered anyway.

[murph0]

I buy from them fairly often, they usually send the email within the first 24 hours..but the online invoice usually takes a full day before appearing.

Oh geez thanks Clobberintime make me feel better why don't you I really wanted that #56 too. Well glad such a nice guy got such a great book. And thank you again for the book you sold me.

Well I am with you on the 49 - $800 was my top price too. But there are a few people who collect Tos - there is one guy on ebay whose name I can't recall but i am thinking it was him. He outbid me on a Tos 44 9.0 that I bid up around $850 so he will pay way over guide for those books. And he always bids at the last minute. I had 8.5s on the 56 and 68 so wanted to upgrade while i could. Drummy also collects high grade ToS but don't think it was him either.

[ericc123]

I happen to know for a fact it was not Drummy. He has a better copy of #49 um er I mean (thats it eric hide your pain)

post auction books are up now. still no auction results yet.

[g-man]

tos #49 went for $949

[Drummy]

Eric -

 

I don't know if I would call my new copy "better," but CGC gave it a 9.2 for what it's worth. I ended up not bidding on the Heritage copy but it looked nice - sorry you got outbid at the end!

 

I'm still waiting for Heritage or ANYONE to come up with those TOS books on my want list - 46, 50, 52, 55, 67, 69, 72, and 75. Where are these books? Grrr....

 

Anyway, one good thing about #49 being hyped as super-rare is that all the major dealers are hunting for high-grade copies with enthusiasm. New copies (or recycled ones) will be emerging as they get re-sold ad nauseum. At least, I hope.

just fricking great! i should've kept my mouth shut re: TOS 49 when i first came on these forums.

[fantastic_four]

Any other hard-to-find books you'd like to drive the prices up on? GI Joe #21 has probably risen in value by 10,000,000,000,000,000,000% since Dungeon started pining over it here.

[blazingbob]

And who wouldn't know that Tales of Suspense #49 isn't tough?

 

 

[fantastic_four]

Yea, really...I remember my grandpa bouncing me up and down on his knee when I was a tyke, telling me stories of how tough Tales of Suspense #49 is to find in high grade. Ah, nostalgia.

[B-Smooth]

yeah the value of Joe #21 has risen 10,000,000,000% but yet there is STILL no 9.8. what gives, With all the contacts and knowledge all of the board members have here you would think there would be copies coming out from everywhere. Theres not.
