Old label Western Penns did well.

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!

You are most definitely right as I assume it must get pretty roasty HOT on the surface of the sun there.  

Similar in vein to the Thrilling 41 Hitler cover, probably one of my favorites have always been America's Best #7 with Hitler and his gang hiding under the desk.  

Here's a picture of another funny Hitler cover that's not seen as often and one that I was hoping to acquire one day given it's more affordable relatively lower graded condition, but it would be much easier to get blood from a stone:

Looks like my way over condition guide bid of $1,800   wasn't enough to snag this supposedly scarce copy of Negro Romance 4 which sold for $6,600:  

I would have bidded higher (but still would have lost), but this copy here didn't present as nice as the CGC 7.0 graded copy which sold for $6,572.50 late last year.

We don’t know who the cover artist is?

No.   My best guess is Stan Campbell, but don't quote me.

And for doing that you are, perhaps, a scoundrel of the worst sort.

It's your bad influence.

Perspective -

The Chamber of Chills cover art went for $174,000 while an unopened box of first series Pokemon Cards went for $198,000

We are amazed at some of the strong prices for single highest grade Church Hitler covers when only a few of them sold for more than either a 9.8 sig series Albedo #2 at $28,800 or a 9.9 Avatar Goon #1 also at $28,800.

or the 181 9.8 @ 49.2K (the more 9.8s get graded the higher the prices go)

Is that even legal?

Only unslabbed items are allowed to be buried. Slabbed books must be released back into the wild to be flipped in perpetuity.

Strong price for Cap 1, weak price for Bat 1.  All a function of eye appeal. Cap had the better of it

 

 

Looks like someone agreed on the Batman #1 and the buyer made an immediate flip with HA at 132k - no time to even ship it out to the original buyer.  The original buyer gets sent a check for the difference instead.

That just means they're awaiting payment on an accepted offer.  Once you can no longer even submit a back up offer its pretty much a done deal.

I have come to accept that I may never win another book or OA piece ever again.

These days, my max bids aren't even enough to make it to the live auction.

Where does the time go?

I had it in my head that I bought my first slabbed book in 2002, but looking back at my records I actually bought my first slabbed book in August 2000 and was actively buying from that point on.

However, I no longer own that book.  The earliest-acquired slabbed book that I still own is one I bought in June 2001, so I'm a bit under a year away from reaching the 20 year mark in owning a slabbed book that is still in my collection!
