That would take a loooonnnggg time to put together - you're paying less per book than on the 'Bay or elsewhere AND someone took the time and did all the legwork putting them together. Congrats! iggy 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That was the winning part of the auction / lots. For some series, being able to get a complete set was the upside of these lots.

I did buy a few books, some things that I will later flip on eBay. its all good. I have buyers for this kind of stuff. Well, if I wasn't asleep at the switch, you definitely would have had to pay a bit more for that Roy Rogers Annual. waaaghboss 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeesh! What was the grade (was it CGC)? I've never signed up for a CC account, or would have bid much more than that! waaaghboss 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DanCooper Posted November 19, 2020 Share Posted November 19, 2020 (edited) 1 hour ago, Bookery said: What was the grade (was it CGC)? It was a CGC 5.5 Compare that with a CGC 5.5 at Heritage back in 2009 that went for $717 (a 2.0 at Heritage in 2008 also sold for basically the same as this copy - $448) You may not be that far off Tim, with a CGC NM copy fetching bucks. The highest graded CGC copy (an 8.0) sold at ComicLink, back in 2016, for $2,433, so a CGC 9.4 could bring close to the numbers you were mentioning.

Sqeggs Posted November 19, 2020 Share Posted November 19, 2020 18 hours ago, DanCooper said: One way to see it, is go to the drop down box on top and select "Sold" items and in the search box type in "quick draw" then on the side bar menu select sort by "Auctions" (see the RED square boxes I highlighted below) Making this possible is one of the few improvements on their new site. Otherwise I liked the old site better. But on the old site, once a book was sold, it was hard to locate unless you had saved their emails with the links to the individual books. iggy 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
yecul Posted November 20, 2020 Share Posted November 20, 2020 Did the 45k or so estimate include the other lots (posters)? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Artboy99 Posted November 20, 2020 Share Posted November 20, 2020 youtube video update. Around 2 minutes in he discusses total costs including purchase, shipping, grading = $20,000 us. He then says the total profit was $20,000 us. So very good total calculation @thehumantorch Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So very good total calculation @thehumantorch If he took his time he could have done better but not bad for a quick flip. I can’t imagine grading was much of that total as there weren’t that many graded books for auction. Wonder if he held anything back? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What Comicconnect didnt take he sent to Kastner Auctions. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Granted, I don't think he'll get much from Kastner as it's the least interesting stuff and Kastner isn't a comic auction site. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
iggy Posted November 20, 2020 Share Posted November 20, 2020 (edited) I’ve been subscribed to Alex’ channel for a few years now, I thought it was cool how he bought an animation cel from a homeless guy who found it in the trash and after he resold it for a surprising amount, tracked down the homeless guy (wasn’t easy) to share the profits. The money he gave got the guy off the streets and he eventually was able to become self employed- I think as a handyman. Shortly after that was the potter’s house (original series titled hoarder house) which became an interesting series of videos. The latest Kastner auction will have some of the last of the potter’s pieces.

Tri-Color Brian Posted November 21, 2020 Share Posted November 21, 2020 I think he sold a few of the comics privately right after announcing them. Did anyone notice that all the good Tim Holt's were missing (ie #30, etc.), and most of the Ghost Rider's. I think someone got to him before he wised up... waaaghboss 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
