I just dropped a bid on Fantastic 3, but someone musta previously left a higher one, because I was immediately overbid.  A few hours left until hammer time . . .

Obviously, it was not big enough then.  :baiting:  lol

Yes. Too rich for my dumb blood

Yes, on a more serious note though, if you combine Fox books with classic covers which are both supposedly red hot in today's marketplace, you usually end up with record prices at that particular condition grade level.  And sometimes even silly prices, but probably not in this particular case.  hm

I guess we'll just have to wait and see in another hour though.  :taptaptap:

That Thrilling #19 in the CC auction is my old copy.   Was a 9.4 with cream pages, now a 9.6 with OW-W. 

That's disheartening 

But pretty common. :)

And I was seriously thinking of increasing my bid on the book here.  doh!

Or am I already the idiotic high bidder here?  :cry: 

If so, somebody else better come along and out bid me on this copy then.  :wishluck:

I guess the 9k one would be a bargain.

That's crazy money.  I spent less than that on a 3.0 a year ago

I dropped out with about 10 minutes to go.  It ended, after all the 3 minute extensions, at $45k I think.  Triple guide is about right for that book, I guess.

Well, in my mind I was bidding on the FC3, and in my mind I lay down the winning bid! But in the real world, I was just watching, and will have to be content with my qualified FC4!

Congrats to the winner/seller.

I lost out on some books in tonight's auctions, but I didn't miss em all.  My dad, now 93, was taken prisoner in the WWII Battle of the Bulge.  I can't not collect these . . .

 

the defects are just the way I like them:  hidden.  I don't mind detached centerfolds and covers, or a bit of tape.  I end up with a nice strong cover image without having to pay a ton of money.

Well, it looks like we got our answer as this copy moved up about $20K in the last hour of the auction, with most of this move done during the extended 3-minute bidding time periods.

Definitely looks like a strong price for this grade, but at the same time it's not an irrational silly price in the end, as the book came in at something like 3.2X condition guide for one of the preeminent classic cover books out there.  (thumbsu
