38 and 69 here.  we need to kick up the boardie percentage.  @Artboy99 we were dueling it out for 53.  congrats on picking up that beauty.  ending up going hard on the 38 since i thought that was my last chance to get a mile high.  i didn't know i won 69 until after the auction was complete.  :headbang:  69 ended up being the cheapest mile high sold if i am looking at the numbers correctly.  congrats to all the boardies that picked up these bad boys.  i really wanted 70, but signal died while waiting for kids to finish gymnastics.  

Superb! I will edit my earlier "recap" post to include 38 and 69!

Didn't happen tonight, but I've missed on books while juggling multiple widows and overlooking the outbid e-mails. 

Gosh, I can't even juggle one widow! How do you keep up the stamina?

I make sure they're small and thin.

Thanks for doing that Zolne! Extraordinary divergence in hammer prices. Some have sold for scarcely more than non-ped copies in the same grade might have been expected to realize. On the other hand, a few went way past reason - #58 9.4 at $8200? [Not even an especially well presenting copy IMHO].

 

Is my impression correct that we are seeing those issues with the strongest covers [as well as the scarcest issues] across the run separate themselves further from the herd to a measurable extent regardless of actual grade? [Given they are all high grade copies, whether 8.5/9.0/9.2/9.6/9.8] . Not all of the super high grade copies have done as well. [#58 in 9.4 handily outdid #59 in 9.8, and while #58 has the better cover, #59 is a nice cover too.] It's almost as if the multiples factor [9.6=2x9.4, 9.8= 2x9.6 or whatever it is these days] has in many cases been offset against the Church top ped factor [say, 2.5 x non-ped values].

 

I wonder how some of the missing might have performed? #65, #66, #71, #72 in particular...? Maybe one day we'll get to solve 'The Case of the Missing Planets'.

 

Oh, and 'Uber bidder beaten out by brave boardies' is my headline of the day. Congrats boys!

I would have been in with both (left) feet on the 73 if there had been one.  By far my favorite cover.

Although the bidding didn't always reflect it, for me, there are Church copies and CHURCH copies.  The former are nice books, but the later are uber high-grade (at least 9.4) and have White pages.  It may just be me, but I'm not usually inclined to pay a premium for one of Edgar's books unless it's truly a CHURCH copy.

I believe I have a sufficient amount of OCD to post a summary.

First, the success of us boardies is worth emphasizing! In numerical order: 

#10 - Zolnerowich
#16 - Straw-Man
#17 - Ricksneatstuff
#30 - LordRahl
#33 - Ricksneatstuff
#34 - Ricksneatstuff
#39 - Ricksneatstuff
#49 - Zolnerowich
#50 - Bat34
#51 - Tim Weaver
#53 - Artboy99

Thus, out of 73 Planet issues, 15.1% of these are in the hands of boardies.

Perhaps a more relevant metric would be based on the total number of Church books that were up for auction. There were 14 missing/lost/misfiled Planet issues that didn't make it to the auction: 25, 37, 40, 41, 55, 57, 62, 64, 65, 66, 67, 71, 72, 73.

So based on 59 available Church Planets, 18.6% are boardie-owned. That's nearly one-fifth of the books. Not a bad showing!

If I left anyone out, please let me know.

--------------------

NOW, onto the overall performance of the Planets:

This adds up to a grand total of $697,511.

And to all a good night!

Nicely done!  Shows the boards are a pretty substantial force in the hobby, particularly since there are likely some boardie wins not listed.

Congrats to everyone:) I have not seen a book posted that was not wonderful.

Forgive the plug for my friend Tim's Christmas contest. You have to guess the number of coins and there are hardcover prizes (even some GA). He goes all out each year to do something for the community and there are less people playing than he expects, so if you have a second, please guess:)

I got the 58!  It’s not the highest on the census, but I don’t think I’ll see either of the 9.6s anytime soon.  Hey, it’s still the Church copy!

Such a great cover! X-ray skeleton arms! I've added your book to the recap.

I generally agree the books with stronger covers sold well, additionally the rarer books also had strong prices.

Had 66 been in the auction I would have gone after it strongly since my current copy is in dire need of upgrading as it is a 2.0. I just cant seem to be "there" when copies come up for sale. I am patiently waiting for my upgrade.

It's a spectacular cover (although I'm afraid you'll have to take my word for it :insane:)

Even better than 71, my second favorite.

73 doesn't have as much of a GGA/sci-fi monster vibe as the others at the end of the run but it has a terrific interior.
