I’m confused.  Are you saying that CL added a reserve to an auction that originally didn’t have one?

There was always a reserve for this one, and it was met (it says "Reserve Met" if you look at the listing).  

The detailed auction listing also indicates that the auction estimate for this listing was for $90,000+.

Wasn't this offered at a fixed price of somewhere in the $100-150K range not that long ago?  Anyone able to confirm that? 

If so, maybe the seller was disappointed by the result. 

So , you might just be correct in stating that while virtually everybody in the entire comic book collecting world is flabbergasted at this result here, the consignor of this book here might actually not be that happy with the result.

I wonder how much the OA cover of TOD 10 would sell for now

Then you would have to ask Gene to see how much he is willing to sell it for?

I was happy to see a 16 year old nephew of mine who only watches mcu movies drop his jaw when he saw my af15. The younger generation will collect these when they have $$ too imo. Not worried.

My only question is am I recalling correctly that this book was offered in the $100Ks recently?  Wasn't it on CLink's "Exchange" earlier this year or last year?

 I have posted on this numerous times over the past 15 or so years we have been debating this topic on the boards, but the new generation of collectors focuses on keys, not filling runs. We have repeat buyers that started as young as 13 snapping up keys and classic horror books to collect and for the crack/press/resub game. 

 

It's alive and well.. not bad for 5 months.  (not mine)
