  1. Shortboxed was a disappoint for me. Better than Wondercon at least. But that bar is now barely above the floor. SB had some very good dealers(Worldwide and Bedrock being my favorites by far), but nothing of great interest book wise to me. Plenty of "generously" priced books overall unfortunately. I spent more eating at the Hyatt than I did at the event. I instead spent my event money at both of tonight's HA and CC auctions picking up more upgrades! Cons have pretty much become nothing more than an expensive table browsing occurrence. Maybe Torpedocon will change my mind. Probably not.
  2. Was busy last night winning a few upgrades off of both Heritage and CL. Toss in a Ebay win as well. 151 in a decent grade was eluding me in any of the comic auction sites.
  3. More HA wins. The great thing about upgrading my ASM collection is that the only impedance is my own cash flow as every auction house always has opportunities to improve it.
  4. 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.
  5. No, the picture wouldn’t upload from my phone library correctly.
  6. Edited to add the correct picture
  7. Just received this book back from CGC 5 minutes ago. Besides the grade, which I disagree with, can you spot the error?
  8. 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.
  9. Will you provide a sample of the books you won, and the amount you paid?
  10. Latest CC wins just arrived. ASM 119 is one of my favorite covers of the entire run.
  11. Latest CC wins. Got the fever for B.A. books. A pesky S.A. tossed in for good luck.
  12. Latest CL wins. Some nice upgrades. Getting close to having 1-100 CGC'ed also.
