No bids for the Flash Comics Ashcan book. Like the first time around, looks like it will remain unsold

It needs to be sold with the Flash GA comics.  Likewise, Ivan needs to put the S&S Science Fiction fanzine "Superman" issue previously owned by Otto Binder and Dick Lupoff and signed by S&S with the Superman GA comics.

I thought some of the strongest prices were on beater, restored, and conserved copies. Lots of shallow water demand for these books. Like this one I thought got a great price:

DETECTIVE COMICS No. 1

I thought there were a LOT of strong prices.  But there were a few deals to be had, and I'm glad I got one. 

I sold Ian my Detective comics 3 for 11k in 2004 and I was going to bid but had to finish a break job just got home and it sold for 6k O.o

I just got in touch with Ian, earlier and he said they all went for far less than he paid.

Oh, I’m sorry. It’s the Tec 1 you got. Great job!

Sorry you missed it woo woo.
 

Is Ian the consignor? I’m sorry for my ignorance, but I don’t know the backstory

Some strong prices to be sure, but I was surprised by how many books seemed like fairly good deals.

The prices obtained for most of the pre-hero Tecs were record breakers for the respective grades.  Some examples:

Tec #1 restored .5:  $22,500

Tec #2 restored .5:  $4,062

Tec #8 restored 1.8:  $4,687

Tec #18 restored 2.0:  $5,635

Tec #23 restored 3.5:  $5,625

I don't recall ever seeing prices like these in the past.  These would have been strong prices for unrestored copies.

There were also some good deals to be had.  I thought that the unrestored Tec 5 in 7.0 for $10,625 was a bargain.  As was the unrestored More Fun #35 (one of the toughest MF issues) in 7.0 for only $3,437.  The buyers of those books should be very happy.
