Congrats on picking up this jewel of a book and what is arguably the most classic cover in the entire Amazing-Man run. I bet you must have been one happy camper that this one didn't go into the insane extended bidding time period and that your bid from the previous Saturday held up for you. Thank you so much! I was so nervous because I only had 1 or 2 more bids in me lol?? I was truly happy when it finally ended. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fantastic!!! I bid on a few of these Martan Larsons, but got buried. I really liked this cover, well done! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yellow Claw 3...... but I did manage one win. I'm really happy for all of you..... it seems that sometimes everyone DOES get a trophy. GOD BLESS... -jimbo(a friend of jesus) You have great taste, Jimbo. That YELLOW CLAW 3 would have been a sweet pick up, but these GREEN CLAWs are a nice consolation prize.

Et-Es-Go Posted June 17, 2017 Share Posted June 17, 2017 I came away with two books from the auction. An Exciting Comics #5, which is an upgrade for the book in that run. I wanted at least one Larson book out of this and managed to procure Whirlwind #1. It is not of the high grade variety, and it is a bit dog eared. But, it is a Larson. If I recall Jon's account from the Comic Book Marketplace this was a favorite short run of his. But he also noted that he bought this book out of the marketplace. Recall, there were some Larson's that found their way into our hobby before Jon found Mr. Larson alive and well, and then a bunch more of his books. So I like the little piece of history this one has. It was one of several books that made Jon realize there was a Lamont Larson out there somewhere, I wonder if he still has any books in his collection. Who got the Larsen Red Raven because I think that was a bargain for a great book. The Mile High Rex Dexter a great buy for someone. Monumental auction, I need to get a catalogue since they did not deem me worthy to send one. Thanks Jon for making your books available to many collectors.

The Cap 2 that sold for $3,477 looks like an absolute steal in comparison. I guess absolutely everybody in the comic book marketplace, except for old Bob himself , must be aware by now that Cap 3 is by far the second most valuable Cap book out there. Once again selling at huge multiples to condition guide, as it has consistently done over the past several years. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
