Doohickamabob Posted November 21, 2011 Share Posted November 21, 2011 After a week of being shut out of Schomburg covers from both Heritage and Comiclink, I managed to snag this gem from the weekly Heritage auction for much less then my max bid: I think a lot of potential buyers were wiped out from all the other auctions. I completely forgot about the Heritage Sunday auctions. It's too bad because I had my eye on Camp Comics #2 in CGC 7.0, and it went for what I consider a pretty low price.

JiveTurkeyMoFo Posted November 21, 2011 Share Posted November 21, 2011 After a week of being shut out of Schomburg covers from both Heritage and Comiclink, I managed to snag this gem from the weekly Heritage auction for much less then my max bid: Thrilling Comics 63 CGC 9.2 File Copy Seems to me the book would have fetched a few hundred dollars more (at least) if it were in the Signature auction but I guess the heavy hitters were taking the night off, or perhaps didn't expect it to show up in the weekly auction. Either way, I've felt a slight cooling in the Nedor titles in the last couple of auctions. It seems to me that some of the people who have been very active have taken a break. I'm not sure if this is a tongue-in-cheek comment or just a difference in persepctive Jeff. All my bids (which, while not tippy top of the market, weren't lowballs either) were handily outdone on every Nedor Schomburg that I wanted, and there was a good half-dozen of them this time around. The Thrilling 63 from last night almost felt like a consolation prize for getting shut out on the others. The Thrilling 70 in 9.4 (with a big gnarly red grease pencil arrival date on the FC) that sold for a whopping $1,800 didn't seem like a weak price to me. Neither did the Exciting 65 Okajima that went for $2,400. Nor the Exciting # 52 9.0 (non war, non-airbrush cover) that went for $1,550, or 2.5X Guide. There didn't seem to be a sub-par result from either the Comiclink or Heritage auctions to speak of. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I thought the red grease pencil on the 70 was particularly horrendous. It ruined an otherwise pretty book. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Straw-Man Posted November 22, 2011 Share Posted November 22, 2011 How close are you to having a full Chesler library Billy boy?? complete, but i don't collect the feature funnies and star/star ranger books as they are centaurs to me. this one frees up my windy city copy of yankee 1, which is high-grade, but slightly restored. once i track down a windy city replacement, i'll put my old yankee 1 f.s. on the boards.
