Actually, I think some of my pages are already at least SB. 

I've been slightly brittle for some time..

I think Church books have been going for very strong multiples the past couple of years.  No data to back it up, just an impression.  Whether the flood of Church books being sold lately on Heritage will take some of the shine off the ped remains to be seen.  But I'd be wary of overpaying for these books.  Unless, of course, I'm the one doing it, in which case it was a savvy move. 

So you'd be wary of being savvy, but only if you won?

No, in that case I'd be leery.

I've always thought so.

I sincerely hope that some of these Church books go to boardies.

Well spoken - good luck to the home team, wish I was playing.

I agree.

I have been looking at the books over the afternoon when I can and for the most part almost all of the books are beyond what I would want to pay and I anticipate frenzied bidding increasing the prices at auction closing. I am pretty confident I am going to be buying ZERO of these.

Look on the bright side - at least we aren't bidding against each other!

Yeah, it seems like with about 37 minutes to go, we're starting to the exponential escalation phase of bidding... (for all those math geeks out there)

I knew you had a tough season, but I didn't realize you'd been relegated.

I think you're being hyperbolic.

Not yet, but it will be close!

I think he's being cubed.

With CC's way of closing auctions, anyone who is chasing multiples of these is likely to go crazy jumping from window to window to window to window ... as the clock keeps resetting.

Now that's too elliptical for me.

All evidence to the contrary

I was involved with a fellow board member in a CC auction for a Punch Comics 12 that lasted around 40 minutes of extra time. It can be painful.
