@southern cross I take it they're all sold out now?

Not the books that have some multiples and their single issues still unsold. And there's probably another 30 boxes still to come in and I haven't seen a HOS 92 yet though that's already sold if one comes in. (Not to me though)

Are any on eBay?

Well that's the back story to these books.

The only question now, is how they remained untouched until recently?   Those books are in time-machine looking condition, just remarkable.    I take it you've pulled the best of the best. 

[southern cross]

Well I've pulled some nice books for myself, yes.

So many books I've missed a few but it's like I miss a book there's a dozen I'm interested in to buy instead.

So if I get any of these graded and they grade higher then a 9.0. That's a win right?

Unfortunately the iron nan I was hoping it would be a 9.8 but alas, it's too low grade and only copy found in the collection 

I'm nearly weeping at the amazing condition of these books!

Here are some samples for Comiclink Sept Focused Session 1A and a really small number of Session 1B (basically first day or so only).    Despite the nice results of the previously mentioned DC Horror books...these results aren't great.    I always felt like the auctions immediately following the Platinum Heritage and Featured Comiclink  (both of which ended less than 2 weeks ago) tended to be soft.     

There's more red there than a Dario Argento film.  
Multiple books are down by 70%!!!

Here's a couple more books that were just one offs.

This Daredevil has stacking curl so it would need a press to bring it back to its former glory.

And I've even bought books like this solely because they just look pretty.

Just love high grade black covers.

Now not every book is in Uber condition. They've been stored for over 50 years like these.

And this Savage Tales 1 sold to me as VG

Even though lower grade they have nice gloss and white pages.

So in the raw market books are selling quite well when quality is offered and there's been a few run collectors filling in their runs and or doing upgrades.

DCs were hoarded as well.

Well I said #1s were speculated on, and Demon is a kirby book and Shadow 1, and yeah, Swamp thing with the Wrightson art got speculated on beyond #1, true.  But Sinister Secrets and Weird War tales are not really hoarded books, just because you see a few together doesn't mean that. The speculators 50- years ago were much less into DC books, but they did like Kaluta, Wrightson, Kirby.  Green Lantern was sp speculated on it practically got cancelled shortly after the John Stewart appearance? I once owned 20+ copies of Albedo 3 (2d Yusaji), does that make it a hoarded book?
