Holy poo on a stick! This is amazing. That is a beautiful Batman #1 for a 2.5! And a Cap #1 7.0? Wow. Are these collections any new pedigree collection?

 

Oh, just won a book from you last week and can't wait for it! Love the books you've been putting up! :D

I wonder if Sandy will affect potential bidding ability... I predict some great deals ending tonight.

 

That Batman #1 and Captain America #1 may end up going for a steal based on where they are sitting currently... doh! Why did I spend my load on Pre-Hero books lately

 

Good Luck to all and I hope they go to boardies (thumbs u

Cap #1 7.0 ended for $63,700.. The 6.5 that Sparkle auctioned off closed at around $71k.. Last sale of a 7.0 sold for around $83k.. Yeah, Sandy may have affected the outcome

 

Bat #1 2.5 ended for about $30k.. A 2.0 sold for that much recently. My guess is due to the tape on the interior. Usually a 2.5 is a $35k book (probably would have had that price if it weren't for the tape).

 

Those are my observations
