[CLOSED] PRIME AUCTION- Final group ENDS TONIGHT Thurs Oct 15: 1st Miles Morales, Venom #3, Something is Killing the Children #1, the first Black Winter, and the first Punchline! Also: Batman, Action, X-Men, FF, Gwen Stacy, and more! 0

[Tedsaid]

It's time for the MyComicShop QUARTERLY PRIME AUCTION!

I've got a LOT of great stuff this week ... 26 comics total! Including: the first Miles Morales in Ultimate Fallout #4, the first Supergirl comic (Adventure Comics #381 - 9.4!), the first Black Cat, a whole bunch of Something is Killing the Children number 1's, the first Black Winter, and the first Punchline! Also: Batman (copper age), Action comics (bronze age), X-Men (recent), New Gods (9.8!), Red Sonja (great covers!), Fantastic Four, Gwen Stacy, and Amazing Adventures featuring Black Widow!

Whew! It's a lot to chose from. But you know at least SOME of these will go for a lot less than they should. It always happens. Like that House of X #2 ... sometimes it goes for $35 bucks and sometimes it goes for $180 and I have no idea why.

Or those Bronze Age beauties. Those just don't come up for sale very often in high grades, and so they sometimes don't get very many bidders. I'll be (pleasantly) surprised if that high-grade Supergirl comic sells for anything close to guide on that one. What a sharp copy! Curt Swam pencils with Neal Adams inks on that cover. Nice!

And that Amazing Adventures staring Black Widow and The Inhumans, with cover AND interior art by Neal Adams. And how about that Wonder Woman cover by Ryan Brown in DCeased? Wow! SO well done.

Good luck bidding!

Thursday night update! The quarterly auction tends to bring out the bidders who eschew the whole "sniping" culture, I've found. Not always, but often you'll pretty much know what the final bid will be well before the auction ends.

Personally, I think that's silly. But I understand the approach if you have a system, and you buy a lot, and just don't have time to pay attention to every little comic. Still, I imagine you miss out on some beauties that way.

Like that first Supergirl comic! Wow - 9.4 and white pages with perfect centering, from 1969. And in less than a week some lucky soul will get to take THAT one home.

Here are the current bids:
Action Comics #399 9.4. Cover by Neal Adams. Current bid: $22
Action Comics #400 9.0. Cover by Neal Adams; anniversary issue. Current bid: $7

Amazing Spider-Man #194 8.0. First Black Cat. Current bid: $165
Batman #406 9.6. Batman: Year One, part 3. Current bid: $10
Batman #428 9.4. Death of Jason Todd. Current bid: $41
DCeased #5 Comics Elite variant 9.8. Variant cover by Ryan Brown. Current bid: $16

Someone else mentioned how very many comics were in this PRIME Auction this time around. I guess I didn't really notice, but they actually had to split the 1980-today into TWO groups.

So, here are all the ones left, that are actually ending TONIGHT, not last night. Still 13 left! And, no surprise, the Ultimate Fallout #4 is in the lead, with Something is Killing the Children #1 in a strong second place. Thor #5 is still strong as well.

Good luck tonight!
