There have been many books I have purchased that I never knew either existed or were readily available unless I did this. I do this too. I have over 50 pages of books I have bid on and I can keep an eye on what prices books have went for in past auctions.

You didn't ask me, but I'll answer anyway! For me, I generally will go into CLink the morning after the auction cycle begins (since they usually kick off around 8pm, and I'm not on the computer at that time of night) and scroll through all of the listings, throwing a buck or maybe $5 on everything I'm interested in. That way, whether I'm the "winning bidder", or outbid, the book will still show up on under my Auction Bids in my profile, so I can track everything of interest. batmiesta, Larryw7, silverseeker and 1 other 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I always throw track bids on every book I’m going for as soon as the auction starts. I’m generally the first (and last) bidder.

You've answered it for me, this is exactly what I do, but I am in the UK and at work when the auctions start so I do it then, obviously I make sure my works done first though.

That is just cgc's tier distinction, which is different from defining an era of comics. The definitions of eras as subjective, but the 70s are almost always classified in the bronze age.

These books are awesome. I just did a jigsaw puzzle of #29 (Frazetta cover, probably my favorite in the run) and it made me think seriously about tracking down a copy of the book itself.
