CentaurMan Posted February 1, 2008 Share Posted February 1, 2008 Nice book, but holy smokes, what a price tag! It sold on Heritage for $750 less than 3 years ago, and went for almost $1800 on eBay yesterday. The other Adventure for sale yesterday (#34), which was also from Heritage pretty recently, had an even bigger % move, up from $500 something to $1500 something. That consignor to Silver Age Comics has to be thrilled. Given the new market prices, I have to decide if I want to sell any pre-Sandman Adventures.... (Just kidding, swapto, don't flood me with PM's) Congrats! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CentaurMan Posted February 1, 2008 Share Posted February 1, 2008 CM, I know you have missed a few meetings, but Swapto is done with Adv...he is selling them for a new "adventure"/direction Really? I think he was the $1500 bidder on the book yesterday, and I think he bought a #37 recently as well (which went quite high given that it had like 6 inches of spine splits, although it had exceptional eye appeal). I'm not actively looking for stuff now (my job's been unbelievably busy), but I've kept some of my old eBay search e-mails and watched the recent Adventure sales. To be fair, all these record-breaking prices in U.S. dollars are much cheaper when viewed in foreign currencies. And as a guy holding a bunch of these books, I'm personally thrilled that there are now robust bidding wars for them. As there should be. Those books are super cool.

I'll defer to bennos to chime in, but as of this past week, he informed me he was selling all his Adv to concentrate on "bigger" fish Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

(Just kidding, swapto, don't flood me with PM's) Congrats! Win! You can't do that to me! I think my heart skipped like three beats I am shocked at how much both these went for as well. I had committed to winning this book no matter what, so a ridiculous snip was set. When I saw what I won it for I was pretty shocked. Double guide seems to have become the norm on unrestored pre hero Adventures. Any other opinions? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
