Its not really the sort of book people sell often in high grade, I have no shock at seeing that price for that grade 

No doubt. This copy presented really well.

Got very decent copies of both of those books, but not near that shape. Stunning books.

one of the 2 big targets has gone beyond my reach, but the other one is coming to cajun country.  yay!!!!!!!!

I knew better than to compete with bayou big money and the Master 22 soared out of my range, but I did get a Raboy consolation prize.

I have never been a collector of GA comic books but I am reaching a financial milestone and decided to celebrate last night so I threw a solid bid up on one of the Archie books. Still high bidder now and I may even knock it up to full gpa! Here's hoping!

Sweet score on the National 7. Congrats! That's one I was gunning for hard until last week when I picked up a GA key. Sweet book and tough in any grade, it's a beauty!

 I had a fever all day and was working and missed most of the auction. I got on in time for the phantom ladies and completely expected to take down the 18 but then lost my nerve. I think a lot of it was because of my fever. Also all the books I was selling went real cheap.

IMO there were some very weak prices for books coveted in the hobby, the Tec 35 is one example.

I thought so too but some so-so prices but also some strong prices

More Fun 65 in 6.5 went $2868 

Looney Tunes 1 in 6.0 went for $3943

Daring Mystery 7 in 7.5 went for $2151

Superworld 1 in 7.0 went for $5497

Keys (Batman 1, All American 16, Captain America 1) went for very very strong prices

The Planet #15 went for less than I thought it would hammer for

Those "weak prices" never seem to stay down on the books I am bidding on.   Someone always seems to want the same book pretty bad.  lol.

Thought the Cindy 37 went low.  A 4.5 went higher on CLink a while back. 

Yes, although I believe that once apparently HTF book (but not so much anymore) has cooled off a bit due to the number of copies that seems to be creeping into the marketplace with each passing auction.
