Gave them a phone call and they told me that my standing order was for them to hold onto my books for me until I give them the approval to ship them out. They asked me if I wanted to change my standing shipping order and I simply said "nope" and to keep it as is. Well, it's been a couple of years now and I am still waiting to win another one of their books. Unfortunately, I don't think this strategy will work for the speculators or flippers who wants to play the CPR game. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post mysterio Posted November 7, 2019 Popular Post Share Posted November 7, 2019 No idea why this book was put in the "assorted" section, and I likely overpaid, but it's not every day you get a shot at a White Mountain Amazing Adventures. southern cross, ADAMANTIUM, Buzzetta and 3 others 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’m still surprised I got it, but I also blew past what I’d originally promised myself my limit would be. Ended up at about 3x (an admittedly patchy set of data on) GPA.

I know of a few Spider-Man collectors that look at it as a natural progression to collect. for one the series leads into AF15 for another reason it features many “prototype” characters even including a guy that looks exactly like Peter Parker mysterio 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I collect pre-hero Marvel anyway, but this title has always been a favorite of mine because of the lead-in to AF #15. Add my favorite pedigree to the mix and I was pretty well all in on this copy. It even upgraded my current 6.0 to boot. AA #3-4 have always seemed quite tough. I haven’t seen many copies of #3 come up for sale, and this 6.5 passes for high grade among the ones I have seen listed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

1Cool Posted November 7, 2019 Share Posted November 7, 2019 I'm always interested to here how sellers felt this round of auctions went for them. I looked at a couple books and the sale prices seem pretty strong so I hope people did well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
