  1. Wins from last night. All improvements by at least two grades. Was in to the bitter end for the ASM #104. The #102 was my second targeted book. Pretty excited to get all nine.
  2. No, the picture wouldn’t upload from my phone library correctly.
  3. Edited to add the correct picture
  4. Just received this book back from CGC 5 minutes ago. Besides the grade, which I disagree with, can you spot the error?
  5. It can be easy to approximate someone else's max bid once you've figured out how each auction house's incremental bidding works, the rough value of the book(s), and account for human behavior. I have won plenty of auctions from Ebay, CC, CL and HA. As an example, during a recent auction, I won three books. I won the first two (non-keys) with my max bid. The third (major modern key) was $200 below my max bid. Lucky to be sure. I'm sure my experiences aren't unique either. Coincidences until proven otherwise.
  6. Will you provide a sample of the books you won, and the amount you paid?
  7. Latest CC wins just arrived. ASM 119 is one of my favorite covers of the entire run.
  8. Latest CC wins. Got the fever for B.A. books. A pesky S.A. tossed in for good luck.
  9. Latest CL wins. Some nice upgrades. Getting close to having 1-100 CGC'ed also.
  10. I completed my ASM run a year or so ago, excluding AF 15. I also have full runs of MTU, PPSS, WoS, Spider-Man, etc. I wasn't sure what to do next either. I finally decided to collect the 60's and 70's Spidey appearances in other titles. (I think there's somewhere online that has all his appearances in chronological order congruent with his title). I also am in the process of getting 1 - 100 graded by CGC. I'm about 75% done there. I'll also be looking to upgrade and then selling off the under copies as I go. So I'll theoretically always be collecting Spider-Man. Which brings me happiness and joy. As ASM is the only title I have any passion for anymore. I'm in the process of selling other runs to help further these goals. For example : I used to love Batman and the X-Men as well. I finally gave up collecting both Batman and Detective titles because of how the modern books were written where I didn't recognize who Batman was any longer. So much so that I began to dislike Batman. I sold off all my GA Batman and Detectives through a well known auction site a year and a half ago. I am now beginning the process with my SA books. I had/have full runs of both Batman and Detective incl. annuals from the start of the SA. Batman 122 to whatever was present a year ago, and Detective 238 to whatever was present a year ago. I do have all the Omnibus' in case I ever want to read his GA adventures. I had/have the full run of X-Men GS 1 to present and was missing 7 issues to finish 1 - 66. Same thing with X-Men, none of them resemble what I once adored and now are just characters that I pretty much despise. Letting these books go is made easier because of my antipathy for modern books.
  11. Latest CC wins. Upgraded my ASM and picked up 2 more for their respective runs.
  12. Recent ComicLink wins. Down to needing a Crow 2 in the 9.2-9.4 range.
