So true!  If the Berk collection was worthy of a label notation, I think his collection was as well.  Granted, we're not talking about GA superhero keys here, but this is by far the best collection of this type of material that will ever be assembled.  

Agreed! For me, this was the most exciting auction ever. Thank you, 143ksk!!

This auction is showing me how much “crazy priced” stuff I have sold dirt cheap here over the last two years. 

[atomised]

man someone really wanted that Ginger #9 7.5.  I thought that would be an easy pickup for me.

I won the Confessions of Love 11. Wish it would have cost less but it was a must have especially after losing out on all the other books I was watching. I really wanted the Confessions of the Lovelorn 53 as well but had to let it go. Congrats to whoever won it.

I was telling my wife the same thing. I sold a majority of my good girl art books a year or 2 too early. Luckily kept the Mile Highs.

Well, give me the heads up on the “Skybolt collection” auction.

I thought I would scoop up that one, but you and the underbidder zoomed past where I thought it might end.  Such a great cover that I think it's a wonderful pickup even at that price.

Not much left. At last count I only have 22 GGA books left in my collection out of over 500.

[Sqeggs]

Happy to get this one at a mere 11 times guide -- dirt cheap the way most of these books were selling today.

I recall you were somewhat chided on the boards  for suggesting the Archie’s girls 40 would be the next hot book... good call there, but I’m a bit skeptical if these rich guy fight prices will hold after today.

I was a big believer in B and V 40 and picked up 8 copies in a year. All are gone now before the big upswing.  

It’s all good though.

Kind of depends, I think, on whether we see more copies come to market.  As we saw with Cindy 37, when that happens, prices can fall off these highs.  The thing about these books, though, is that most of them are so tough in high grade that they get a premium in that condition that may well persist. The Cindy 37s that have been sold lately have been mid-grade, so far as I can recall.

Chamber of Chills 19 in 6.5 went for over $4600.00.

2K more than a 6.5 sold on Ha for last year.

[lpsunburst]

Only one book I was after today and it completes another, albeit short, Fox run for me

[szav]

Well I can join the oh my god the one book I wanted went for twice what I thought was my ridiculous bid club with that wings 82.

[jhm]

Dang! I wanted that Wings #82. Someone seemed way more determined that me... I figured I would take that, no problem. The colors were like nothing I'd ever seen.
