The biggest highlights ( AC1 8.5(R) and Batman 1 8.0 ) of CC auction Sept 2019 ending tonight.

Yes indeed, as it looks like Bat 1 for the Gold and Action 1 for the Silver, with the Bronze most likely being held by Spidey until he hands it off to Phantom Lady on Thursday afternoon.  hm  lol

Way behind eating their dust and sweeping up the racetrack floor will be both the rare Italian and possibly even rarer Peruvian editions of Walking Dead #1, with both of them still sitting there at the astonomical price of $1 with no customer bids to their credit yet.  :facepalm:  :cry:

:news: Well, looks like it was much more of a squeaker than I had originally thought as Phantom Lady with her outstretched longer fingernails just manages to snatch the Bronze medal out of Spidey's hands with a bid of $121K over Spidey's top bid of $120K.  ^^

Still at the back of the pack choking from all of the dust is the rare Italian edition of Walking Dead #1 at $1 and still unable to get out of the starting gate, while the super rare Peruvian version is now clearly ahead in second last place with a triple size bid of $3.  lol  :takeit:

Well, if the CGC population census report is any indication, I would have to agree with BB's assessment that GL #30 is real tough to find in decent condition.  (thumbsu

Especially since the census report indicates 1 and only 1 copy of GL 30 above a grade of CGC 7.0, while GL 36 on the other hand, has a total of 5 graded copies at a condition grade level of CGC 7.5 and up.  hm

Besides that, I also much prefer the cover for GL 30 over the cover for GL 36 featuring just Streak the Wonder Dog about to feast on a couple of baddies.  Especially since the GL 30 cover features an impossibly proportioned femme fatale in the bright yellow dress.  Makes me wonder how super tight that girdle must be that she's wearing and how in the world can she breathe at all if it's wound that tight around her waist.  :luhv:   lol

I absolutely agree that GL 30 has the better cover.

Phantom Lady 17  :flipbait::flipbait::flipbait:

True enough but the #13 CGC 9.0 at $25,500 was a far greater surprise to me.

Yes, especially since quite a few of the boardies here were thinking of possibly the mid-$100K's for the PL 17.  (shrug)

Well, definitely not GA, but I noticed this book going for the grand sum of only $320 or more than triple top of guide:

sha5.348a.jpg

The first thing that came to my mind when I saw this result was a copy of the Overstreet Update around the time that CGC first opened their doors and there at the front of their pricing update featuring a picture of a CGC 9.8 graded copy of Howard Chaykin's Shadow #1 (Limited Series) from 1986 that somebody had pay $2,500 for.  :screwy:  :screwy:  :screwy:

Once again, to each their own, but I imagine that's definitely a case of buying the label, as opposed to buying the book.  Especially since top of guide valuation for that copy of Howard Chaykin's Shadow #1 is now only at $4 after 30+ years since its publication.  :tonofbricks:

Nice paper and nice grade

Hammered at $365.00

That's actually quite a reasonable price to pay for such a fantastic cover.  (thumbsu

Congrats again on a superb pickup here.  :applause:

I really had no intention of bidding on anything tonight, but decided to throw a half-hearted jab at this one last minute.  It worked!

@october told me I should start looking for books that present better than their grade rather than crying about CGC nuking books in my submissions. 

I think this one fits the bill.

It’s a beautiful copy. You’ll dig it in hand.
