MOKF had so much spy stuff in it. It just seems like the movie could connect on a number of things: thriller, spy/intrigue, martial arts There's a good cast of villains with some cool visual looks too. Is he going to walk around in a bright red outfit to stick out like a sort thumb? That's the funny thing about 70s books, I guess regular people were walking around in outlandish outfits anyway back then (at least where I grew up), but he is hardly incognito here..

Popular Post lou_fine Posted April 10, 2021 Popular Post Share Posted April 10, 2021 Decided to give this thread here a long awaited and timely bump in light of the big upcoming CC Event Auction which end next week. Especially if you are a MOKF aficonado, since it looks like they have a near virtual complete run of the entire MOKF title pretty much all in CGC 9.8 graded condition if you are a uber HG collector or label chaser, starting right from this first issue right here: https://www.comicconnect.com/item/897862 Not really so much for me though since I am more of a MOKF fanatic who loves to leaf through the pages with the beautiful artwork inside, and in particular the ones with the Gulacy interiors.

I never even check their auctions any more No problem and not sure why a lot of boardies here seem so upset about the 15% BP on the Kentucky Collection portion of this Event Auction (i.e. only the Thursday & Friday portion) that they are seemingly refusing to participate in this particular auction this time as some form of protest. With how hot and how high the prices have been going lately, makes you almost wonder if there's any auction fatigue here as last time I looked, almost 15% of their lots were still under $10 while a full 55% of their lots have yet to hit triple digits. Besides the uber HG BA and CA books (e.g. Conan's & DD's) that are still sitting there at only low double digits for now, you can even see single highest graded GA books in there like this one here for only $6 with only days left to go: https://www.comicconnect.com/item/820378 \ Nice GA book from early 1940 and highest graded by a long shot with a total of only 5 copies graded to date. Not sure where it's going to end up along with the other HG issues in this run by the time it's all said and done, especially since copies in this Crackajack have been selling for not only premiums to condition guide, but also multiples of guide and well into 4-figures as evident with the recently completed CL Auctions. Maybe bidders just love to pay more money when it comes to HA and especially CL as that's where the CGC label chasers love to hang out. Then again, maybe it's nothing more than the auction format as CC goes with the 3-minute extended bidding auction format whereas HA and CL does not, but heck, at these low current bids like only $6 for some of these books versus versus a Crackajack in the mid-30's selling for something like $2,500 on CL just last month, it's definitely worth watching. It's a good thing you CA guys are never interested in any of these oldy moldy smelly disintegrating GA books. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not sure about the other parts of their website though. With their Event Auctions, it's easy to find everything because ALL of the books are simply listed in straight alpha order and I also love the 3-minute extended bidding format because that gives me plenty of time to analyze the situation and determine whether I want to go one bid increment higher or not. With that horrid CL format, it seems like if you really want to win a book, you really have to throw in one of those blind Hail Mary stratospheric bids right at the last second and then hope to heck that no other bidder is also thinking the same thing or else you are going to be digging much much deeper into your pocket than you had expected. As for their auction archives, it's not even a contest here as CL has absolutely NO auction archives at all. And in terms of their auction layout, CL seems to have so many different sessions with overlapping books from the different ages that it seems like a mish mash of almost everything and hard to find where the various books are at times, that I usually don't even bother after awhile.
