I have a lot to learn.

Still, I wouldn't have felt bad peeling off 1600 for it.

I thought the result was surprising.  Maybe going near the end of the GA portion in the Saturday session of this auction hurt the bids.  Might have done better on Thursday.

7.5 times guide for a non GGA cover Wings still seems like a pretty strong price... will take a few more auctions to see if there’s a settling of these books starting to happen or not.

I think that's the answer. I couldn't bring myself to bid more for an airplane cover;)

A non-GGA, non-Nazi/Japanese FH, blasé  airplane cover with 3 higher copies on the census plus a 9.2 just selling this month for a paltry $375 but geez camp-coded books are blazing - I am going to say it sniffs it but not over.

I got one right - this is a first and probably a last.  

Still amazes how much this ped has soared.  Considering that 9.2 which I referenced above and what it sold for within a month of the Okajima.  Blows what little is left of my mind.

Well done telerites, you were only one who went under $1,600!

Now we can all watch the Shadow on clink.

Your $1,600 estimate was the most impressive.  Almost nailed it exactly.

Has anyone ever seen an issue of Batman from the collection?  I don't believe I have ever seen a copy.

Interesting observation.  Nope.  There is an Action, Superman, a couple Sensation, Wonder Woman.  No Batman has surfaced on this thread or GPA sales.

Just curious, do you know which publisher is represented the most in the ped?  Was it FH?  I seem to see a lot of those (not talking just about camp-coded issues).

I'll check the number tonight

you are right! 28% of the collection is FH, Fawcett is second at 10%

Thanks.  That is quite a disparity.  Were the titles actually requested by her, or was she able to pick out from what was brought in, or just given titles without any choice? 

Also wondering if book distribution had anything to do with the books in the ped since some titles (publishers) may not have been as prevalent in certain areas of the country or were not distributed to some regions/areas at all.

the camp pictures ive seen of the Px showed a comic/magazine rack with plenty of choices, so I would say these were her choices, also she kept up with the same titles in and out of the camo....

Oh yeah, I do remember seeing some of those pics.  Thanks again.  Really marvel at all the research and sharing of information you have done.

Has anyone heard any updates on the 50 Objects project? I submitted books but was more interested in more of the story behind the pedigree.

Looks like someone had some Nyoka Okajoma books and they are dribbling out via HA

 

first two books sold for $660 (#23, CGC NM- 9.2 OW) and $600 (#24 CGC VF+ 8.5 W)

these are post-camp books.

I read this thread with interest, since I just acquired a large Fiction House collection that includes an Okajima book.
I didn't see this one listed.

Interesting.  I've never seen the stamp on the spine before.  Nice book!
