Sweet Lou 14 Posted April 28, 2022 Share Posted April 28, 2022 I just got my books from the last ComicLink auction ... and I really don't want to jinx this but none of them had that stupid sticker on the back. Could we finally be seeing the end of those awful things? And can I cancel my monthly subscription to Goo Gone? bronze johnny, Timmay, Senormac and 1 other 1 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I associate WD-40 very strongly with my grandfather who was a typesetter and later owned a hardware store. I also think of him whenever I see this classic 1950s Atlas comic book font.

Popular Post MattTheDuck Posted April 29, 2022 Popular Post Share Posted April 29, 2022 This also helps. It won't get the sticker off, but you won't care as much about it. Senormac, piper, Buzzetta and 12 others 6 9 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post miraclemet Posted April 29, 2022 Popular Post Share Posted April 29, 2022 (edited) Went 2 for 3 last night, the other Space Adventures book went for too much to me (more than these two combined,, thanks to the Captain Atom appearance). But thrilled to add two more top of census books to my title collection. They'll go nicely with my ebay win from Sunday.

mytastebud Posted May 4, 2022 Share Posted May 4, 2022 Sometimes it's good to be turned down. I made an offer on a group of books here on the boards that was equal to what I would get them on eBay. The seller countered so I had to pass. Checked out Comic Link and I picked up several more books. This one for a shockingly low price. 1/3 FMV djpinkpanther67, batmiesta and Larryw7 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Checked out Comic Link and I picked up several more books. This one for a shockingly low price. 1/3 FMV I'm not exactly sure where to draw the boundaries, but in my experience there is a set of books (which I would argue includes a book like this) where no-minimum auctions are VERY much stacked in favor of the buyer. When demand for a book is high, I am always hoping to find a copy being offered for sale outright because there's hope that the seller is motivated enough to arrive at a mutually agreeable price, whereas at auction you are running the risk that another buyer is willing to go nuclear. When demand for a book is low, auctions are the best -- especially when the auction house tucks it away among the long tail of "secondary" offerings when far fewer people are paying attention. Congrats on the pickup! Edited May 4, 2022 by Sweet Lou 14 mytastebud 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

realitytrip Posted May 13, 2022 Share Posted May 13, 2022 Lot of deals on Clink tonight. Finally picked up an X-men 14 for my run. While admittedly not the prettiest 5.5 out there, couldn't beat the price - smidge over 1/2 FMV. piper, Larryw7, mytastebud and 1 other 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mytastebud Posted May 17, 2022 Share Posted May 17, 2022 Not sure if anyone else was part of the Heritage Auction last night but my son and I enjoyed it. Lots of 9.8 Superman comics from the late 60's to the early 70's. The Palos Verdes Collection is not a Pedigree set of books? I was lucky to pick up a copy of the #254. Will the fact that it is part of the Palos Verde Collection be a future selling point even though CGC has no notation on the case?
