GreatEscape Posted May 25, 2007 Share Posted May 25, 2007 Pretty jacked about these two books which I think I picked up at a great price. So, that was you who one the Target #5. Terrific deal ...Jerry put a $250 estimate on it but Guide = $1100! GE Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Silver Surfer Posted May 25, 2007 Share Posted May 25, 2007 So, that was you who one the Target #5. Terrific deal ...Jerry put a $250 estimate on it but Guide = $1100! GE Yeah I noticed he under estimated some of the ending auction values but I think that the holiday weekend probably helped keep the price down as I was expecting this to be at least $500 higher. I see that the Mile High copy sold for less than $7,000 which was thousands below asking on Bill Hughes site. I think there still is a nice white page 7.5 copy that is available but the asking price is probably $2,000+ so this is a good deal for sure.

Socratic Wonder Posted May 25, 2007 Share Posted May 25, 2007 Well thank you rick here is one more I just got off ebay I saw that copy & wondered if a board member would grab it. Nice New Adventure pick-ups. I also bought those three issues within the last few months. I feel I got a pretty good deal on it.....I hope when I send it to CGC it comes back blue. You never know with ebay. Its kinda funny I was just going back through the new adventure/adventure thread and noticed that you had just got those three books as well. What are the odds on that?

TheEyeSees Posted May 26, 2007 Share Posted May 26, 2007 Pretty jacked about these two books which I think I picked up at a great price. Nice work ,Surfer!!! The TARGET is a nice book ... I'm shocked at low it finished. I was going for the AMAZING MYSTERY FUNNIES that Jerry had, but for some reason, the books I want always end up WELL ABOVE guide! Consistantly!

spoonerism Posted May 26, 2007 Share Posted May 26, 2007 This came from Bachara and the Crowley collection. At one time in the early 80's I bought the Mile High Slam Bang 2 and 3 for $50 each. About a year later I sold them to Bruce Hamilton for $150 each. I made a killing. Darn I wish I had those back!!!!!!! While Slam Bang had a very obscure line-up each issue is a little treasure trove and I would put the covers of 2,3,and 4 up against just about anything that isn't a Timely. I love this cover. This and another one makes me think of starting a "severed-arm octopus cover" collection. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ciorac Posted May 26, 2007 Share Posted May 26, 2007 Great books TG!!! The blonde above kind of reminds of me of someone........ Thanks ciorac! but I have no idea who you could possibly be referring to ... I just bet you don't! yo momma? Now was that very nice? Tried to pay you a compliment, and that is what I get in return?? Sorry, Bill. I was only teasing ... certainly didn't mean any offense. Guess I just didn't realize you were such a sensitive guy. Thanks for the compliment; it was very sweet! I know you were just teasing. We cool. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MrBedrock Posted May 26, 2007 Share Posted May 26, 2007 So, that was you who one the Target #5. Terrific deal ...Jerry put a $250 estimate on it but Guide = $1100!

I think there still is a nice white page 7.5 copy that is available but the asking price is probably $2,000+ so this is a good deal for sure. Surfer, Great books. I especially like the Target #5. Your info on the Mile High is a little off though. It actually sold for $12,500 with the premium. I was the under bidder on it, but just made a deal to buy it. See, all of us Timely guys chase the same books! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Norrin_Radd Posted May 26, 2007 Share Posted May 26, 2007 Congrats on the Jacquet copy of SubMariner. Very cool piece of history to own. I get more envious of your collection all the time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
spoonerism Posted May 26, 2007 Share Posted May 26, 2007 and an impulse purchase for $22. likely the 2nd little dot appearance as the first was in Sad Sack #1?? this is one month later. I love the infinity cover. (Quoting from a year ago, since I've been reading this whole thread and enjoying the covers.) My son is named Max, so I have three of these around somewhere.

I was the under bidder on it, but just made a deal to buy it. See, all of us Timely guys chase the same books! Those early Targets feel like a cross between a Timely and a Centaur...Everett, Burgos, Mills, Thompson, etc. And Target 5 has the Wolverton classic "Creeping Death from Neptune" story as SpaceHawk begins.

Inaflash Posted May 27, 2007 Share Posted May 27, 2007 Just in from Heritage: Now I have to sell my undercopy. Gotta pay for the Clink Focused Auction bids somehow... How the heck did I miss this book? I love that cover. Was that in one of their weekly auctions? Nice copy with great pages too. Congratulations.
