2016 Comiclink auction thread, post 'em if you got 'em

[kimik]

There is not a lot that interests me this month. Might be a good auction to buy in, I guess, if prices are not running up too fast?

[JollyComics]

Decided and got All American Men of War #94 CGC 8.0.

 

Hopefully Russ Heath will live to sign my book!

Well, it became a bit more memorable later: Bendis wrote a direct sequel to that story in his first crack at Daredevil.

 

It's "Wake Up," in Daredevil (vol. 2) # 16-19, and it's a masterpiece.

 

The collected edition is also available on Amazon as Daredevil: Volume 3.

 

Well now I'm curious and my memory is failing me. I definitely read 25 and v2. I must go back and re-read all those issues now. Although DDv2 is drek in terms of $, it's one of the best series I've read for a modern comic. I don't remember the tie in.

Hey everyone --

 

Nice pick-ups here. I got one win this time around -- used to have some super high grade copies of this fabulous comic, but this one LOOKS tremendous at a fraction of the cost!

 

Thanks for looking,

You have a great eye for selecting pretty books

[Drummy]

Thanks! Much appreciated.

[Ghost Town]

That's a drop dead gorgeous book, Dan. It looks far nicer than a 7.5.

[entalmighty1]

Paid more than I wanted to, but the cover looks super white. White pages too!

 

[VintageComics]

Actually sort of surprised as I was at a Steve Vai concert and just threw a conservative bid in before I left.

 

Vai is coming through town this weekend. Is he worth seeing?

I can't see anything wrong with it based on the front cover.

Tough to find white and nice.Congrats!

[Michelangelo]

very nice FF 12 and X 8

Seemed like an OK price - but GPA hi/lo is 103/250 :shrug:

 

:think: I suppose the final verdict will come when I crack it out.

 

 

I'm curious as I see that several buyers of CGC graded comics will crack them out after purchase. Is this mainly because the buyer is more confident that the comic is in the stated condition than if buying raw? I can understand since more often than not the raw Bronze Age comics I buy from eBay that are advertised as NM are more like VF (or less).

My collection is basically raw - there is some assuredness in the grading end, but CGC is basically all over the board on grading too. I frequently get slabs cheaper than raw equivalents. Nice copy of a difficult book to find in HG raw.

[lizards2]

For example these were $53 and $50 - A couple more nice wins that I'm pleased with:

 

 

[entalmighty1]

I thought about chasing the Sea Devils a little, but I already have a nice raw 18. Definitely a good looking book.

[mytastebud]

I sold this book ungraded when the first movie came out. Had to have it back. Paid less than expected

 

[MustEatBrains]

Finally got around to unwrapping this from the last auction..

 

 

[lizards2]

I must have been asleep at the wheel on that one. I definitely would have bid it up a little higher.

 

I couldn't pass this up. Would have cost more just to send it to CGC.

Which one of you stole the Weird Terror #2 from me?
