There are two Okajimas on eBay right now, Camp era I believe, but raw. Are they legit?

It's true, when I find an Okajima I want, I don't mess around ... especially Camp era books :-)

Yep, you got it. Camp era + unique "Camp I" markings + Captain Marvel + pretty cool cover (IMO) That was my thought at least. Who knows what the underbidder was thinking

I snoozed and losed! :-) Congrats to buyer and seller. If sale falls through please let me know!

Sorry, where is the Okajima Whiz #58 for sale?

Signs of a “maturing market,” I guess!

Who knows. I will say, I personally never wait til there are only 30 seconds left to put in an extended bid!

Seems like it crashed with 20 seconds to go, during an extended bid. now shows as sold at 2,007,500

Yes.

Try to reload for the result. CC site not loading for me at the moment though (!)

Aaaand she passes 2M.

Wow.

Yeah, I love the Comic Calvacade covers. Underrated GA title IMO!

What did it go for?

Camp copy. Excited for another Okajima!

As a somewhat n00b - I am wondering about how the auction houses (HA, CL) credit Kirby, or really any artist, when he does "layouts only" versus pencils. For instance, Silver Star #5 Page 16 in the upcoming CL auction... Primary Artist Name: JACK KIRBY Secondary Artist Name: D. BRUCE BERRY Does this mean Kirby did the pencils, and Berry is the inker? Or Kirby did the layouts, and Berry did the pencils? Or, is it unknown who did exactly what? As a contrast, Captain America #214 Page 7, references the secondary artist as Mike Royer, but states that Royer did the inks. (So, should one assume that Kirby did the pencils?) I mainly ask, because at another auction house, a recent Kirby page stated that Kirby did the layouts, and another artist did the pencils; but then on a different listing for a subsequent page in the same issue, Kirby was credited as the artist, but nowhere in the description was it stated that Kirby did the layouts, rather than the pencils. If I didn't know better, I would assume that the secondary artist was the inker. Or perhaps my analysis is totally misguided. The learning curve in this hobby sure seems steep!

No offense taken at all! I just wanted to clarify. If I ever actually want to flip it, I will post it here on the boards and save the fees

I can confirm I have no intention of selling this book. I overall love the HA website, but sometimes have trouble navigating their technical settings. I don’t remember even encountering this “account setting” or checkbox or whatever it is (let alone turning it on), but perhaps it is turned on by default, or I enabled it by mistake.

If you have camp books, please do! i will get my wallet out

Take it

Is there a definitive known cut off date for the camp books? sorry, I went through about 12 pages of the thread, but couldn't find an answer edit: per another website - Sep 6th, 1944 is the release date of the last camp era book, is that correct? (Sensation 35, 4Y?)

Any predictions where the two Whiz 2’s will hammer?

Anybody know what it sold for in 2014?

So why is this book "fabled" (or are you just referring to the story behind the Okajima pedigree?)

I wonder if Anthony bought it? Or did someone buy it and then immediately trade it..
