Very strong prices.  Personally, I view 38 as the day things started going sideways, but I know I'm a lone wolf crying in the wilderness

Not a big Robin fan I suppose? Can't blame you really. Personally I like him better than Bucky but not as much as Speedy. Speedy, now that's a sidekick there.

Real nice books this week in Heritage. I'm watching many. Was hoping for a shot at this More Fun 67 4.0 , but my dreams were shattered after it topped 2,500. 

It went for double than the last 4.0 in 2015. 3,600.

 I have a beautiful although not terribly high  grade Mile High Wonder Woman that I got from GAtor a long time ago, I've been looking for a Mile High Sensation for a long time. I finally found one:)

I was going after that as well.  Did pick up the MF 65for more than I was hoping.

I was surprised that the 8.5 Larson Mystery Men #5 went for only $7,800.  In light of the prices other pedigree Foxes have been reaching, I thought it would go for more.

I was surprised, too. This is the first auction I've watched in a while, prices seemed to be very high except for a few books and that was one of them.

I was also surprised, though the (90%) erased signature and the wear along the spine might have put people off.

I agree.  It's tough to follow the auction when you are trying to work.  And I have to work to buy comic books.  Rock and a hard place.

Oh you got that 65? Thats great! Looks like a pretty healthy 6.5. Lots of competition for those More Fun Spectres. 

I'd like to find a # 60 in which the bidding doesn't get all Crazy Eddie like it did so many times today.

I can't see any reason how Heritage would benefit from the daytime auctions, but I'm sure they know what theyre doing. I least I think I'm sure.

I would most definitely agree with you here.  

Since nobody else bothered to mention this one here, am I the only one that's shock this book  sold for $40,800:  

https://comics.ha.com/itm/golden-age-1938-1955-/superhero/thrilling-comics-41-mile-high-pedigree-better-publications-1944-cgc-nm-92-white-pages/a/7234-92085.s?ic16=ViewItem-BrowseTabs-Auction-Archive-ThisAuction-120115

Sure, it's a Church copy of a classic Hitler cover, but $40,800 is still an awful lot of moolah to be spending on a non-key book.

Aren’t some guys crazy over bondage covers? Isn’t that a classic cover with skulls and crossbones and Hitler with no pants too?

And let’s not forget it’s the Commando Cubs we are talking about here . . .

Yep, my 1,346.00 bid didn't win it.

Talking about Commandos, I though Boy Commandos had been pretty much of a dead S&K title, but this copy here did quite well finishing up at $9,600:  

https://comics.ha.com/itm/golden-age-1938-1955-/war/boy-commandos-2-mile-high-pedigree-dc-1943-cgc-nm-94-white-pages/a/7234-92031.s?ic16=ViewItem-BrowseTabs-Auction-Archive-ThisAuction-120115

Once again, another highest graded (or tied for) Church Hitler cover, but then again, it's a Boy Commandos book.  

So, if this current comic book marketplace is so red hot as evident by some of these prices which we have been seeing lately, maybe even the long dead Fawcetts might be resuscitated and be able to come out of their multi decades long coma.

Congratulations to the consignor.  Looks like he did very well with these high grade Hitler covers.

Church copies = HOT!  Hitler covers = HOT!

Church copies + Hitler covers = SURFACE OF THE SUN!

Not a golden Age book, but I was impressed by the Western Penn Brave & the Bold #54 CGC 9.6 selling for $21,600, doubling the hammer price on the Don & Maggie copy three years ago.

Does anybody every hold onto their books anymore, or is it only collectors/dealers like Pat with his now officially and newest CGC recognized Chinatown pedigree which he has held onto for more than 2 decades and still counting.     

Amazingly, in a few more years I'll have some slabbed books that I'll have owned for a couple of decades. 

Where does the time go?
