I don't really follow the Centaur market, but the AMC #22 seemed to have done well. Congrats Rick 

Happy a couple of super collectors went after it

Since we are talking about $54K+, I qualified your comment for you so that it would be a much more accurate statement.  

Congrats on your super first day auction results as I can't think of a nicer board member who deserves such a big winning day.

I heard a few results from some folks. But I’m not looking at all till entire auction over. I have an expectation so fingers crossed!

Taking home an older A-man with a classic cover and first Speed Centaur!

In that case, you should probably stay away from this thread till the end of the week because we'll most likely end up talking about some of the final results here in the interim.  

You could ask the Mods to ban you from these boards for the rest of the week.

Thank you Gator.  I’ll cherish this piece.

Woke up this morning to find out the one that I really wanted took a jump of about 60% overnight  while I was sound asleep dreaming about tucking it into my collection. 

A 60% overnight jump means nothing in isolation.  That could mean it was at $10 and is now $16. 

What did the price jump mean in terms of the book's FMV?

You must think I am made up of money or something if you are talking about ten whole dollars.  

You should know by now that I can't play in the deep end of the pool where all of the big boys like you hang around.  My end of the pool involves chart-topping books like this one here:

Of course you would have to sort the chart by Lowest Price First since this one here is still sitting at a whopping $1 after all this time.  

Maybe if I play this carefully and dig deep into my pockets, I can mannup and bump it up by 100% when the clock runs down to only 1 second remaining.

Rick;

Similar to the "S" marking on the AMF V2#7 posted above, I also noticed the exact same marking on both of these 2 AMF's:

 

Based upon your experience, would you happen to know if books with this particular "S" marking all came from the same original collector or not?  I remember seeing similar markings on several of the early Fox Mystery Men and Wonderworld books, except those appeared to have been done with a black grease pencil.  If I remember correctly, all of the books seemed to be in relatively nice shape, especially considering the early time period from which they all came.

I think someone got a steal on that FN copy of Adventure 48.

I could say the same on the All Winners #12 San Fran ped.

You do realize that this is a GA DC book and an Adventure Comics at that.  

Unfortunately, that's 2 big knocks against it as many of the GA DC titles have been on the cool side for past decade or so in what otherwise appears to be a rather selective hot GA marketplace.
