of course they leave bidders identities blind. They learned they can make loads more when a seller runs up the tab on his own auction. Theres really no other reason for it 

I have a lot of negatives for eBay.  Someone who committed shills and got punished for it but eBay did not extract those bids.  eBay is rather to have money from us.

I 100% agree.

Also.... I find it fun and challenging to piece together some rare comics.  I don't have the funds to buy slabbed mega keys, so if I can piece together a mega key by buying an incomplete copy and then looking thru auctions like this for CFs or outerwraps.  I have pieced together complete copies of Superman 1, Cap 1, All Star 8, using this method.  

That’s awesome! Super impressive I must say!

Works even better with my updated cover so we actually have a decent Scarecrow 1st appearance cover
I love this first appearance so much, but always thought the cover was a disappointment (hell, Scarecrow only have one single GA cover ever is a shame that needed to be fixed!)

Was the interior of the Flash #17 in this lot? The seller had the covers only in a separate lot I was bidding on. I was curious if the rest of the book was in here.

I don't think I saw anything Flash in there.

I bought the Walt Disney Comics 1 cover in one of his separate auctions though and sure enough I found the interior in this lot.

I scored 2 copies of Marvel Mystery Comics 13.  They are really rough though.  Maybe if I combine the best of both copies.....

I can't imagine being a comic seller and not fully going thru a lot like this.  The comic's ages ranged from 1937 - 1947.  It's such a sweet spot in time for grails.  The Adventure 40 I found could just as easily have been an Action 1.  In fact, when I first started paging thru it I thought it might be an early Action because of the black & white pages on a couple stories.

Neither can I but I know the seller. He is a younger guy. He likes to turn and burn as fast as he can. I just don't think he has the patience. He was involved in a real messy thread over a Detective #28 with a centerfold missing a few years ago. He bought the book from a local dealer that hadn't had time to look at it, put it on the seat of his car in the parking lot and listed it on ebay. Turns out the centerfold was missing. I can't believe anyone who says they love comics and deals in them, wouldn't have at least wanted to look at the 2nd app of Batman...

Maybe I'll find the Tec 28 centerfold in this lot.

To be fair though, coming from you Robot man, this means the guy could still be in his early 70s

I'm very glad you found some matches...but you might watch his auctions for more matching pieces;) 

I picked up the Worlds Finest 27 tonight he was selling.  It was missing the first 4 pages which I just happened to find in this collection.  Cool.

Good advice Sharon to keep watching his auctions.
