Captain America collectors are crazy.

Good luck. You may have some competition.

no worries, bring it on

however, I don't "have" to have these issues, so I won't "bidding at all cost to win"

 

From what I've seen, Rick doesn't consider other collectors "competition" on books he wants. He considers them "underbidders".

 

or Overpayers

that can happen if I don't "bid at all cost to win"

it looks like they have all the atlas superhero books from one collection in this auction.

does somebody now something about this "toronto collection"?

The craziness continues.

$677 for a raw Cap #28 with clipped coupon. And I thought it might go cheap. :doh:

Look at the bid history and see who won it. Seems a little bit suspicious. But what do I know...

[hockey&comicsguy]

you simply don't see much of this stuff.

 

what were timely print-runs compared to DC and Fawcett? 20%? 30%?

I agree,alot of these books are buried in collections and won't be up for sale anytime soon.I was also looking at that Cap #54,but got spooked from the 0 feedback,and went to CL instead.I put a bid of $350(guide) on this Cap #50,(it was listed at $450).He came back with a $415 counter offer and I took it.Did I pay too much?Probably,but in the grand scheme of things,that $65 dollars extra I spent will mean nothing when I pull this book out in 10 years.I am willing to shell out the extra cash on a good looking Timely,simply because I don't want to have to wait 5 years for another copy to surface....

 

I'm a bit confused. How can you own this book when its sitting in my case?

 

I bought that book in the last CL focused auction. That's the scan from CL. I know because I used it on page 446 of the "show me your timely's thread"

Given the Cap 61 book I recently sold 5.0, blue holder with slight glue for $950, I am pretty sure Cap collectors are truly insane.

Time flies when you're having fun with the book.

[Norrin_Radd]

I'll probably have to settle for restored copies.
