Wasn't even aware there was a January Auction until I saw this....

[Buzzetta]

I submitted some books for this auction. I want to see how they go...

 

I don't plan on buying anything though.

First Clink win of 2017. I've had a tough time finding a copy of this book I liked for the money.

And the second win of 2017.

That's a great pickup at what I thought was a good price.

[1Cool]

I'm 0 for 4 on my spur of the moment bids and the rest of the books of the night that I had my eye on are too strong for my blood. Good luck guys!

[mysterio]

I was 3 for 6 last night, with two of the losses being lowballs that were outbid by one or two minimum increments. I've got a couple more I'll be looking at over the next few days (or maybe not, could have another way to spend that money...). Trying not to go crazy...

0 for 2 so far with mostly low ball bids

Some of the final prices definitely highlight the reason to not grade non key books. $50 for a 10 cent CGC 9.0 Blackhawk book seems like a waste since it cost a least $30 to get it graded. $31 for a CGC 9.0 Avengers 86 - that's pretty much giving away a beautiful book after deducting grading cost.

You ever looked on eBay?

 

I like to hope that people just miss stuff, and they really thought that 8.0 was a 9.2 but there was an interior tear or something they missed. Or these books were someone's first submission when they didn't know what they were doing. We've all been there. And with millions of books graded, and likely close to a million subs, if everyone has that weak submission or miss here or there that could account for them.

 

But yeah, if people are grading 7.0 non-keys on purpose then they're just costing themselves a lot of money.

Won this tonight, not a big book but one of my favorite Wrightson covers - blonde in a red dress, meet the crawling chaos!

Nice work, mysterio.

And probably a sure loss once you factor in the shipping charges and the auction fees which you would have to pay.

[gorgoguy]

1 out of 6 so far:

 

 

Really wish I would have stayed up and put another bid on that HOS 114. Congrats to the winner.

My first foray into a Comic Link auction. Who knows what unexpected delights I will find on the back cover!
