Check out what they did with Dr. Strange astral projecting himself through the cover of Strange Tales #111!

His second appearance has to be one of the most lack-lustre covers in the whole of the Strange Tales run.    Who ever did the cover for Marvel Collectors Items Classics, thought so too.

Two more added to the personal collection!! 
Originally I wanted to complete 169 to 183, but ventured over to grab some of the Strange Tales that feature Doc Strange on the cover.

First time purchase from ComicConnect. A real beauty! 
 

Their last auction was a Doctor Strange extravaganza for collectors, with record prices set across the board!!!

$5,568 for a 9.6 #169!!!

I'm a last 10 seconds bomber, but the bid price had already left my orbit, so I didn't chase it.  I did get the Pacific Coast copy of #176.   I have never seen that book before.  


Congrats on the 176! I would’ve bid on it but I had a tight budget and wasn’t sure where 179 was going to land. Also, this was my first experience with ComicConnect and I thought I could be a last minute bidder. But I was surprised to see the auction extends 3 minutes with each bid. I traded bids with someone for 177 but gave up (sorry if that was a fellow boardie). 
I hope we see more 9.6’s and 9.8’s in the future but not so many at once lol. Someday I will get a 9.6 169 :-)

The 3 minute extensions are interesting, I wasn't expecting it either.   I ended up wearing one bidder out, with the time involved as each 3minute was added, again, and again.   And another bidder, just hit his max, as the book had the "15% will be added to the final winning bid".   This last bit seems only to apply the big ticket books, I'm not entirely sure how it works.

I looked back at what I paid for my #169 9.8 western penn copy in 2007, and I remember at the time I thought it was bonkers.   But the book just never came up for sale in high grade at all back then, so I pulled the trigger.   Now it looks like an absolute bargain.

There needs to be a Jealous button on these posts!! A 9.8 169. Wow!

Back in the 90’s I think I overpaid for every book I bought. Two Strange Tales 110 at $300 and $1,200. Eerie 1 for $1,300 (at CGC now). Two Gaines file Tales from the Crypt at $600 each. My friends called me an insufficiently_thoughtful_person. Dealers loved me. But I still have the books!! 🥰

Now I’m paying more for grading and insurance than I paid for the books. 🧐

Yup, there's no such thing as buying a great book at a great price.   I'd love to see the two 110's when they come back. (thumbsu

I got the 110’s graded last year. It’s the Eerie 1 at CGC (in Quality Control so we’re almost there lol UPDATE - the Eerie 1 graded at 8.0 ❤️).
