OK...What did you win on Heritage?

[ArAich]

I won Fantastic Four 18 and 39 in VF+ 8.5 ... you guys can have all the 9.4's.. just sell me your moderately priced 8.5-9.2's

 

I whole-heartedly agree...I find the best bargains in these grade ranges...

[Bronty]

? He's a cross-dresser??

[BronzeBruce13]

I've been out of the loop, what did this auction have to do with the Chicago con? Nothing?

 

Brian

 

Got me... maybe more that it was starting or ending in conjunction with a major comic happening? They want to have original names for the auctions for tracking/identity purposes I'd imagine... makes them sound unique and important as well... i guess.

Don't ask me. I didn't post that initially. I guess you have more vested interest in this question so I'll back off!

[shiverbones]

yes, he even dresses as a woman at conventions sometimes. I am not making it up, go to his website (i think its jeffjones.com) he talks about it openly!

Is that why Louise left him?

I third that.

 

Of course, I would also like to win some NM at some VF/NM prices. That would be cool too.

 

And I just got my confirmation also.

 

Brian,

 

this had to do with the Chicago Con because you could view these books there (i.e. they brought them to Chicago).

 

 

[Bronty]

Ah, he's an artist. She knew what she was getting into!

 

Who's to say Walt's any different?

[murph0]

DD, there's a couple of the variants available on the after-auction sale.. did you take a look at those?

 

Brian

[Darthdiesel]

Didn't meet resrve but didn't need them at those prices either Thanks murph and good to see you back!

[LordRahl]

Prices were low overall on this auction. Too much money already spent on the summer cons? I got an Avengers 10 in 9.4 for $530 including the BP as well as an X-Men 55 in 9.4 for $250ish and JLA 1 for $1850 or so. The JLA guides for around $2600, I didn't think I had a prayer at what I bid since it was a very low bid but either guide on that book is way off or this just went under the radar.

[Bonds25]

I won the following:

 

Fantastic Four #84 (Marvel, 1969) CGC NM- 9.2 Off-white pages. $47 (after BP) (guides for $50 in NM)

 

Strange Tales #97 (Marvel, 1962) CGC VF- 7.5 Off-white pages. $207 (guides for $280 in VF, and has the first ever appearances of Uncle Ben and Aunt May)

 

Unexpected #106 (DC, 1968) CGC NM- 9.2 Off-white pages. $30 (guides for $38 in NM)

 

[Bugaboo-migration]

I really wanted THIS ...but alas...I didn't get to it in time...

It says the book is still available.

Sigh...Rick has to go to remedial reading classes!

[realitytrip]

Well.... I still haven't received a confirmation email from Heritage, but judging by the closing bids, it does look I won an X-men 100 30 cent variant and the group of 4 Ms. Marvel 35 cent variants.

Bids were low. A lot of CGC bronze age stuff seemed to go for the price of slabbing or lower (look at the $7 they are trying to get for the slabbed Rimas...)

 

[comicmankev]

Damn, I didnt get anything this time due to my overspending on my house move. But even with that debt looming over my head, I was tempted by THIS

 

That is a beautiful copy, and I know it's been discussed already on this board, but in my opinion that was a steal. And once the fad of CGC dies down a little, anyone will see that this was the biggest bargain on Heritage this year! OMHO

???What the....was there a reserve on this book???...at that price I will wait for a "raw" HG copy...

I was bidding on a lot but only won 3:

(Hey, I spent less than Darth!)

 

I thought I got a very good price (even with the juice) on the Superboy #184 and a fairly decent price on the Supergirl in 9.6. There were a bunch of Supergirls up and I had bid on all of them, but this was the only one I got. I was bidding very conservately on them, so it was kind of a shock I even got this one.

 

I also thought the price on the Superman #42 ($471.50, with juice) was pretty good, at 8.5 I would guess the guide price to be about $660, so that's nearly $200 off. Plus it's a Rockford. But that's not why I bought it. Maybe it didn't get bid up because the white cover shows a bit of browning around the edges. But the thing is nearly 60 years old and it still looks pretty good to me. And the grade is darn good. I also bid pretty conservatively on all the Supermans that were up there and was pretty suprised I got this one.

 

The Superboy and Superman didn't even reach my max bid! So it did seem like the prices are a bit soft. Is everyone tapped out from the big conventions already?

 

I noticed this in the BIN section:

 

Action Comics #334 (DC, 1966) CGC NM 9.4 Off-white to white pages.

 

Didn't meet reserve and has a BIN of $460.00. Yes, I know it's an 80pg Giant, but $460!! Greggy, were you bidding on this? What do you think of the BIN price?

[Drummy]

Hey all -

 

Like Brian, I took a look at some of those "COW" books (something I usually don't buy)...they were beautiful! I got the Thor #160, #162, and #165 with that page quality, but from the scans they all presented 9.5, if ya know what I mean.

 

I also got a couple Captain Marvels (#10 in 9.6, #13 in 9.6) for pretty cheap. I like those covers.

 

I also put in a pretty decent bid on that Avengers #9...yet the price kept going up. I didn't expect it to go that high even though it's a tough book.
