I picked up a few Fox#1's in the early days of ebay. They are up for sale now at heritage

Would you be referring to this big big Fox Comics Showcase Auction with 173 Fox book that Heritage has scheduled to end on December 1:  hm

Actually  my offerings are much more modest, and not a part of that  auction

I have up A Green Mask #1 and a Sansom #1 which I must have bought in the early days of ebay .  I part of 13 books I consigned three months ago.

I guess I did not put up the Flame #1

Here's the Eagle group shot. When I started collecting the run I figured issue 4 would be the toughest, like many of the end of the run Fox super hero books, but it turned out to be the first book I found. The toughest for me to find was issue 2, which interestingly has the lowest census numbers.

Great run, congrats:golfclap: You rarely see any of them (with the exception of the Fox auction at ha currently).

Thanks! The Heritage Fox auction is incredible. So many really tough books all in one place. It will be fun to watch the results on this run and so many others.

Looks like everybody is still keeping their powder dry since all of the bids are still "scraping the bottom of the barrel" low right now.  :takeit:

Seems to be a lot of “dry powder” in the comic market right now. There have been some solid GA sales on the Bay recently but only for the pretty and very desirable books. People, (my self included) are being a lot more conservative in their comic buying. 

With the holidays, things historically slow down quite a bit. But add in inflation and a rather “fearful” view of the future, things seem a little slower than normal this year.

Those who want “Covid prices” on average stuff or “Promise” books had better wake up.

It won’t be forever but the comic market, like the general economy, is seeing a natural leveling off right now.

Congrats! That is one TOUGH run to complete. I have never had the opportunity to obtain even one of them. Those are very nice presenting copies as well. Love to see them raw and enjoyable from cover to cover!

Unfortunately I wouldn’t expect that to last. I expect that auction will be on fire during live. It would be nice if it weren’t, so maybe I could pick up a few rarities but I’m not expecting that.  I think books like MM30 are gonna go bananas and just bring even MORE attention to how cool (and rare) some of these fox books are. Best of luck to those bidding.

Thanks RM! If a long time collector like you has that opinion, they are certainly seldom seen! I love having them raw as well, so much cool stuff inside.

That’s a cool one, congrats. Doesn’t show up often. Perfect example, it’s not even in the fox auction this week. 

Thanks! It went from it's original owner location, to the buyer of the collection, to me, so it's quite uncirculated. I only have a few Fox books now, unfortunately. Looking thru this thread is like a buffet of cool, rare books! You've sure posted some great copies!

I was lucky to grab one of these myself recently but not nearly as nice as your copy.
