Since I don't have a scanner that can handle slabs I won't wait until my 2 wins from Clink arrive. These 2 books are the beginning of my CGC upgrade of my raw collection. My pockets are pretty shallow so I quickly realized I could not swim in the same seas as the big spenders and the Rocky Mountain books were out of my reach. Not that I really care about the 'pedigree' as it's not recognized by CGC. I think the non Rocky Mountain books were ignored to a degree and I got the 60 at GPA and the 76 well under GPA.

Nobody has anything new to post from the recent auctions? I don't have any books officially here yet so I won't post till I have them in hand. How about some more FF love????

 

 

Hey, Steve. I really wanted either the FF 15 or 16 (9.2 whites!!) in the CL auction, but in the end, just couldn't pull the trigger. I did pick up a #37 in the Heritage auction. It hasn't arrived yet, but here is their scan. Overpaid for sure, but tuff in high grade. I think you also have a nice copy (except yours has those ugly white pages :baiting:.

Interesting, my brother's name is Steve. You're not him, are you? :hi:

 

If you ever come up this way, shoot me a PM.

We could probably save some $$ if we discussed out bids and decided what each of us would bid on.

Good idea.

 

I'm really wanting a #6 in 9.0 or so, ow/w or better, so don't bid on any that come up for auction. I think that is a very underrated book. Thoughts?

 

Um I actually need a 6 myself so let the bidding begin!!! We can talk about one when it does show up. It would look nice with my 2,7 and 11 for now :grin:

Okay here's my CL auction winnings (sorry for the BA book :sorry: , but it's a pretty copy! :grin:

Got it for $750, way under GPA :banana:

FF4.jpg

 

Rocky Mountain

FF42ROCKY.jpg

 

Much more affordable than $12K :whatthe:

FF50.jpg

 

Firelake copy - The single best FF issue ever written :sumo:

FF51Firelake.jpg

 

Another Rocky Mountain

FF86Rocky.jpg

NIcer than the Western Penn copy I used to have...

FF87.jpg

 

I like this cover (and the PQ)

FF97.jpg

 

Actually pizzed about this one as I didn't pay attention to the PQ :doh:

IFF98COW.jpg

 

And my last Rocky Mountain...

FF129Rocky.jpg

 

All in all - not bad. A little more $ than I thought, as I was assuming I wouldn't win the #50 the way the 9.4 copy was going, but I am pleased with the results :golfclap:

If we had preplanned the bidding and prepicked what each of us had bid on we could have saved a lot of money. The opposite of shilling. My ethics radar is beeping.

Yeah but there is more than just us on the Boards bidding on these...Besides, I had told Steve I was going for that book :baiting: , and even announced it on the boards...TWICE

Yep and I actually backed off and didn't put in a higher bid for it. I am sure my 9.0 copy will come along some day, I am in no hurry....
