Something is seriously off about that sale. MGsimba77 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ygogolak Posted September 7, 2018 Share Posted September 7, 2018 Definitely looks off. I can't imagine bidding around $600 but having my max set to nearly $4k at the hammer drop. Obviously some last minute sniping going on too. bronzilla and Grib 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hell, I have every issue in NM I would sell them all for a heck of a lot less, un bound. Any interest? . . . Take a look at the automatic bid history, somethings odd about how it jumps up in price than drops than jumps really high. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not my cup of tea, but this hobby is bleeding collectors because of Marvel and their "House lacking in ideas". It is good to see different takes on collecting.

Another problem (if you consider it such) with omnibusses....omnibi...whatever is that depending on the series you aren't getting complete issues of the original comics. For instance, if a comic had a backup series that probably won't be included. There's also something undefinable, in a good way for me anyways, about reading the comics in their original form.

This seems good for everyone with an interest in the hobby. Some stuff never gets printed in a trade or hardcover volume though and some stuff will likely never be collected into volumes. Rom springs to mind. Micronauts is another. I've recently put together reader runs on the cheap and I've considered binding them. These are mid grade copies of comics readily available so the idea of binding them is appealing and If I bind them, I get the entire issue, every page. I'd certainly never do it for high grade scarce or valuable comics though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But, there is a regular version listed for $750. So, yes, this was a premium buy based on the Canadian price. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
