aardvark88 Posted June 14, 2017 Share Posted June 14, 2017 Hurt my wrist scrolling down that long list of Berk's slabbed and raw comics. Could not figure out a way to screen Comic Connect site for Berk's GA or 1950s comics only to avoid the more common SA and Valiant comics. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gives me time to fill in a few more online loan applications so I can fund my next bids. ThothAmon 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Now that you've got one from 10 years before your birthday, you should get a book for each of the years in between. There are so many wrong ways I could answer that, lol.... thehumantorch 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It seems a handful of less obvious books are being picked up for great prices, lost in all the hoopla over Church copies, hot titles, and classic covers.

I would have bid 8500 but than the book would have went over 10k Yeah, I was right on that Fantastic 3 but my dog peeded on the floor and I looked back and it was gone!

I can have it removed and expect maybe a point or two drop in a blue label case. Yeah, it amazes me the prices being paid for conserved, resto, even 0.5 copies that would usually be scorned. It's that CC and Berk magic I tell you... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Point Five Posted June 14, 2017 Share Posted June 14, 2017 Did anyone here win the Exciting Comics #3 6.5? Finished at $1213. I thought that was a real honey of a book. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Robot Man Posted June 14, 2017 Share Posted June 14, 2017 3 hours ago, lou_fine said: And Chuck had the entire Fantastic run listed at the outrageous price of $1,035 in his original MH catalogue. And to think that most collectors were balking at his prices back then because he had the nerve to charge premiums or in some cases, even multiples of guide for books which was unheard of at the time. Not sure when his MH catalogue came out, but the 1977 Overstreet had the entire Fantastic run (exc. the 17 to 19) at only $706. Only a 46% premium to top of guide which is peanuts compared to what we saw yesterday. Nobody wanted books like that back then. Heck, even Tarzan, Flash Gordon and Prince Valiant were much more popular and worth way more. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
