WOW, FR/GD Mystery Men 3 goes for $1434 on HA 0

Just saw the final hammer, very strong in my opinion.  It did have nice eye appeal so maybe not too surprising.

Triple guide this close to Christmas is a healthy sign. And I agree w you: the eye appeal is much higher than the grade. It’s funny how these Heritage weekly auctions sometimes have a gem hidden amongst the more common material

The real gem was the Looney Tunes #2, really wished I had tried to snag it.  Not an easy book to find.

This seems perfectly reasonable, in my opinion.  It's such a fantabulous book that it's literally impossible to overpay for it.

I am now thinking whoever bought the Church copy recently is a financial genius

It looks like much of the grade hit came from the massive tear on the back cover and tape inside the spine, leaving the front with VG eye-appeal at least. Combine that with low grade raws from Heritage sometimes getting a higher grade from CGC, and it's not much of a surprise, though the same copy sold for $657 back in May of 2016, but I'm guessing a lot of Mystery Men issues have doubled in value in the last year and a half.

Thanks Andrew. And yes I did . I was so focused on the Prize Comics in the last C'Link auction I let the (3.0?)copy they had in that auction slip by. It went for what I thought a was a bargain considering what it is, and #2 is hard to come by in decent shape ( usually only see low grade, taped up copies come up). I was regretting not getting it after losing out on the Prize, then I saw this copy pop up. I thought 'oh no, but it's closing Christmas eve'. 

I put my max bid in early, turned of the computer and enjoyed egg nog and the family. When the invoice came through that I had won just after midnight? Merry Christmas to me!

Wish I had seen that MM3.  

I often miss those Sunday night auctions.

Oh well, guess someone else gets a Christmas blessing.
