Well, not my cup of tea, but it must be for some of the other board members here. 

Time for me to take a quick nap and wake up in a hour from now as we are now into 6 long pages of the Mystery Tales books.

swept the Namora's.  Was a fair amount of the extended bidding but not furious.

 

[lou_fine]

Wow, a clean sweep.  

Now, that's definitely the way to knock them down.

 Ignorance was bliss!  Would you share your knowledge of this book's past with me?

Sure thing - found it in the links of sales in the 8.0's:
http://comics.gocollect.com/guide/view/112887

It looks like Heritage has sold it a couple times over the years:

Wow, just Wow. I honestly thought I could be spending six figures this week and ended up with only a single win. I'm a hunter of high grade classic covers and the prices keep shocking me.

Sorry to those of who I may have run up a bit 

I did take this little beauty as an upgrade copy (thanks to the under bidder for FINALLY dropping out ):

Congrats! One of the great GGA covers in the biz.

Had no idea where this would end, but I just wanted it.

Congrats! Missed the action... luckily for both of us.

 

What was the final price?

I sold that copy (and sadly many more of my favorite hoard book) to somebody here before it was graded. Here are some pre-slab pics Chris.  Glad to see this book is finally getting its due.

Oh and to think I was bidding against you. Boy I can see those pages are truly white as stated. Appreciate the pics Rick

Just to pay myself on the back a tad this was my raw sales description;

Wilbur 8- 6.5- Best copy I have seen for sale-

[jimbo_7071]

I went after the Church Nickel 3 but wasn't even the underbidder. With three copies graded higher, I thought it would go for around $1,500. I dropped out around $2K. No matter how much I like a book, I don't like going into territory where I think I might have to take a big loss should I ever have to sell.

Nicely done. I would've been bidding on them but my price limit on books without back scans meant I just had to watch.

For sure, this tied for highest graded copy of Startling 49 will not be able to hit the 6-figures mark that the Church copy managed to achieve a couple of years ago:

The only question is whether it will be able to hit the extended time bid button a few more times in order to match an equivalent graded 9.6 copy that sold for $54,970 a few months ago on Heritage?    

 

Surprisingly, still not much action (if any at all) on this classic Robot cover even though it's only a couple of hours away now.  

Wonder if it's due to the fact that there's been a marked increase in the CGC census (even in uber HG condition) for many of these classic covers from the late 40's time period, whether it be Nedors, Fiction House, etc.?  Or more possibly, I imagine it might be due to potential bidders just keeping their powder dry for now and waiting for the critical 3-minute extended time button to be hit.  

Interesting to note that there also appears to be quite a few other nice looking Startling's that will be ending this evening.  But definitely not much in terms of the HTF Centaur line in this go round here this week.  

$64,000

[GoldCap]

Very happy to get this!  One of just two (of 13 total) on the census that I could possibly afford since the rest are 6.5 and higher!

OK, but that's just one book at a time.  How do I scroll through a page of results (from last night) in a way that looks like it did when there was still time remaining?

The only effective way I've found is to put in tracking bids on every book I'm even remotely interested in, then after the auction I can look at all my previous bids and quickly pull up the last auction by clicking on "newest listed; auctions first" in the pull down menu.
