Great story...in this case you can know that the winner would have paid a lot more ...maybe that will make you feel better 

Am i misreading this or did you win this GAtor?

  - impressive way to cap this off with Silver Streak 2, I must say.

I find it absolutely shocking to see a mere 9.0 in there.

Your standards must be slipping.

I love that Our Flag cover.

Who can sleep when there's so many nice comics on the auction block?

It does, and now I feel a little bad that I cost them more than they needed to spend, but I figured there was someone out there that wanted this at any price, and I couldn't compete with that.  Grats winner!  I gave it my best shot!

That's what auctions are for, never feel bad bidding what you are willing to pay for a book!

Exactly.  No need to feel bad because some other greedy dude refused to be outbid by you.

Plus, Jon is probably absolutely delighted by this story.

Well done Rich!

I hummed and hawed about these and decided to fully commit only as the endgames played out. One more increment, and I was out on either one. High prices, but I have other copies to flip, or I wouldnt've gone in at all. I might never see copies with these colors again, and that's what it's about for me. I also think this single auction will begin to alter our thinking about resto - especially minor resto. I guess time will tell. But if it's good enough for the great JB, it's certainly good enough for the likes of me.

I'm just hoping everybody else is broke before tomorrow's auctions close.

I was broke before - I'm twice as broke now!

Define 'up'. Did you score anything, Andy?

 what a replay! I've done the same thing 3 times before. Won 1, lost 2. 

I try to avoid bidding in the extended bidding phase. Something clicks in the brain and impulse takes over. Thank goodness I didn't win any of the Church Jungles in a previous CC auction. I was gutted at the time. I also found it incredibly, heart-poundingly frustrating to be outbid with 10 seconds to go on every single book.

 

So this time I just put in my max well before, and watched 'em play out. Was sure I'd get outbid, but it never happened.

I would love to see this someday, especially if you ever crack it out. I was talking to a buddy last night and I was considering whether or not to bid, because I thought it would be stunning. Those metallic inks in the title banner....

Really nice pickup.

The Planet 18 is spectacular! I was very tempted to bit on it. Nice pick up.

Michael, would love to see a rescan of the Planet #18 when you get it. Curious if the background color is as reddish-purple as it looks in this scan vs. the bluish-purple tones we usually see.
