well, you were there well in good time to take advartage of the god times we see for comics today.... but you made made choices to buy the books you loved at prices that made sense for you.  Unfortunately many of those have remained esoteric items (cool 50s DCs) still not absorbed into the mainstream that the new big money guys covet.

Too many of them have received undue attention. 

I put up "Keep off the Lawn" signs but, kids these days, they don't pay attention!

$90K for a Surfer #4 

Considering the classic cover, still a much better buy than a copy of Silver Surfer 9 in CGC 9.8 for $42K or a much later Transformers 1 for $44K.

Yes, I just can't stand all this SUSPENSE here even though the 1, 3, and 4 are missing:  

 

Missing or held back?

I believe it was stated that the Suspense run started from issue #5, which would explain why those early issues are missing. 

Since they aren't in the current auction, I imagine these later issues are most likely scheduled for the next Heritage Auction. 

The ones that I find rather strangely odd are Seven Seas 4 and Seven Seas 6 which are both conveniently missing from the short Seven Seas run.

Did the Action 7, Pep 22, Whiz 2 go for a steal ?  The Action and Pep looked like they ere trending that way.

Seeing how I have an Action 7 0.5, I thought Action 7 2.0 for $60k was the right price.

Yeah I don't get it. Bronze book that just sold for $264K (most ever for a bronze book), just pure insanity and makes Hulk 181 look like a modern book in price comparison.

Stoopid

Well, it's only stoopid if you are naughty  and take a look at the actual book itself with the clearly misaligned front cover , instead of only focusing on the CGC 9.8 label like you are supposed to be doing:

I needs to make up some little round stickers for my books.

That's one gorgeous book though. I can definitely live with the slight misalignment. Not $264K worth of living with it mind you, but I can live it lol.

It’s a beauty for sure, will be interesting to see if the gift-graded Promise GA books perform like these killer silver/bronze books did today.

Post Session # 1, the batch is now up to (I had missed 2 books that are now in the count) - $2,439,575 (before BP).

Since yesterday, the largest increase goes to the Eerie I believe. Went from $21,000 to $60,000.

What do people think of this price? The Eerie 1 is currently sitting at 75k (with BP) that's an all time public sale record for this book. Is it an outlier because of the ped and grade? Or has the market shifted (similar to what happened with Mask 1 and 2 in the last couple of years). I guess we'll need more sales to find out? It has been a book I thought was undervalued compared to the rest of the PCH market for a while.

What a amazing day....for Ga and Oa and Sa collectors...$9,283,050...just day 1 total....check out that R Crumb Piece I think it went for 260K...carzy

I have a question about how quickly comic lots go through on the HA Sunday auctions. This is because I try to figure what time to be near the PC, when a lot I'm interested in comes up.  Would you say 100 comics per hour, or would it be more, or ?  Has anyone timed it, to determine an average, or is there a reference?

It’s the Action 1 of horror comics. Minty example of a Great classic cover. Surprising price given its tied  with two others for top grade.

June 17, 2021.  A date which will be long remembered by funny book collectors.  New dawn, folks.  So many people with their knickers in a twist this past Spring how the sky was going to fall, the bubble this, the bubble that.

The best way to make big money in this hobby has always been to have completely plebeian tastes!

Just select to have Heritage text you when your lot is about to start (i think it's like 5 lots before yours comes up?).  You can also enable audible alerts, which cause your PC to alert you audibly (so have your speaker volume up high enough) as your lot approaches.
