didn't this book go to auction sometime ago ?

Yes and it was sold on these boards shortly after. The poster was showing an example of what their scans use to look like.

A bug I encountered and I didn't see anyone mention it . On some books when I click the zoom button I get a no picture available message even though the pictures are available in smaller resolution .

link to an example ?

Happened on some Action Comics books , I don't have the links , was doing some late night browsing yesterday . Perhaps they fixed it now .

I still give up on searching.  The limited number of filters is obscene and so many with no images.  

I remember at least a couple of folks including Richard Evans, Greg Reece, Shortboxed, and some others that have come on here and asked members for their input on design and functionality.

For me, if I got the money I would spend it on liquor and hookers and then waste the rest.

Hey!

Is there a way to put in batch bids, or is that feature gone?

Hey!

Since you are a lawyer by reputation, I think you should know what do about copyright infringement.

I like this book and have it on my watch list(and yes, I already know I missed the boat on this one, but it fits my “buy high, sell low” mantra) In coming down to the wire on the Heritage auction, I am reviewing the playing field, and I just noticed what looks like foxing on the back cover. That is not necessarily a killer for me, but I think it’s one of those things about which hobbyists have definite opinions

I doubt the foxing will impact the price.  It is on the back cover and about 1/2 the people don’t even know comics have a back cover (I am being hyperbolic folks) and the front cover colors pop.

True.  I just wish whoever that cover artist was would have learned to draw.

Some people may consider your comment to be heresy, but I myself don’t care for a lot of his work.

Actually, I can't take credit for it. 

This is the original quote from George Best, the great British soccer player:

"I spent a lot of money on booze, birds, and fast cars. The rest I just squandered."

He is one of my favorites.  I had the good fortune to meet him and he was one of the kindest, most gentle person I have ever met.  

I respect anyone's preference to art so no qualms from me.

People buy Mask 2 for the front cover.  I doubt there will be any impact on the final result.
