I should post scans of all the books I came in second on ... quite the collection!!!

And human psychology being what it is, my reaction is always "WHO WOULD BE CRAZY ENOUGH TO BID THAT MUCH?!?!?!" when I just bid $25 or $100 less.

Coming in second on a Heritage or ComicConnect auction is a bit different because you have to make a more deliberate "negative" decision to stop bidding, whereas with ComicLink you can take your best shot in the final moments and let the chips fall where they may.  With ComicConnect in particular, there's something uniquely painful about watching three full minutes elapse while you tell yourself you're not bidding any more and you're most definitely not getting the book.

Hey, congrats! That's awesome.

Grabbed this one. Nothing rare or ultra-valuable but one of my favorite Silver Age X-Men covers and an upgrade over my 9.2.

Picked this one up. A bit lower grade than I’d like, but these early JIMs don’t exactly grow on trees.

Classy Book!

I've settled on 3.5 for a lot less  and more common books!

Them's is the breaks sometimes

Maybe that sounded more like a complaint than I meant it to...

No worries  I think my text came off more snarky than I meant it to....!

We both read between the lines so it's all good

I meant classy book because it's tough with those books, and for you not to feel too bad about the grade!

I settled for a 3.5 TOD #10, but mainly because no other opportunity has presented itself. Really your post is a kick in the pants for me to be a little more picky

  Thanks, I certainly don't try to be a grade snob. With these early pre-hero Marvels it is book first, grade second. I like 6.0, but in books like this it often isn't possible without a time machine.

Meanwhile let's just state the obvious, that's a very very nice looking 3.5!

I agree but my heart to my brains to my fingers had a miscommunication

That was my bad. it's ok to want a better grade, what I wrote was not entirely what I meant, and I look at it as you can upgrade! 

Tough book

Thanks, I thought so too. I'm waiting to see what the back cover looks like, but even then I am quite happy to have this one.

[Black_Adam]

Thrilled to have this one stroll my way. I don't have a lot of Golden Age and zero Captain Marvel (until now) but this cover always caught my eye.

Well done sir!

My underwater obsession continues.  Honestly surprised my bid held, as I forgot about checking back in closer to the end.

Picked this up. 8 books away from a complete run now!
