 I had no way of knowing that 9.8 graded copies signed by Adam Hughes weren't what you were looking for.

I should have started using fb for buying comics a while ago...picked this up for 42 bucks in an auction. Nice looking copy besides a few spine ticks.  |

It's been a good weekend for pickups. Got these in trades/extremely cheap pickups on fb/reddit.      |

Threw down a bid and went to bed. Looks like I won this last night. I did not own anything signed by Michael Turner, and this has 2 other signatures too. |

 Have I told you about the time I dropped off 3,000 comics at SDCC?

| EDIT Oh FRAK! I am crushed! So I did my bidding on my phone and watched the last 1:30 countdown to ) after my last bid. Walla, thought I had it and my phone never updated beyond the price I saw for the last 1:30. Low and behold, when I went on my computer to check out tonight, I see no Captain Marvel #1 in my win list. In looking at the history, apparently 1:23 after my bid someone else came in and outbid me. Again, I am crushed as I thought I had won.    When I was a youth back in the later 70’s and first frequenting my LCS, was captivated by 3 comics on the wall behind the counter. They were: Savage Sword of Conan #1 Silver Surfer #1 Captain Marvel #1 It took me about 4 years to be able to save up enough and complete the purchase of SSofC and Capt Marvel. The Silver Surfer was sold before i could raise enough money. A few decades later, when @sborock was at CGC, the Conan earned a 9.6 Captain Marvel came back at a 9.2. It was a beautiful copy but for the common 1” or so color breaking crease at the middle of the bottom cover edge. This was common from the shipping strap. A couple of years later i sold that comic along with a 9.0 Capt America 100 and 9.4 Submariner #1 out of need. I would later upgrade the Conan to a 9.8 and picked up what us now a CBCS 9.0 Silver Surfer. But I have still had a desire to get the Surfer and Capt Marvel in 9.8. Today I won the following auction: 9.8 w/ White Pages….1 of only 24 9.8 in the CGC census.  |

| Congratulations, @Scifinator. A satisfying win I'm sure. I hope you got Captain Marvel at a good price. I am in search of that issue myself. I have SSofC #1 also -- purchased in early 1980's (along with Conan the Barbarian #1... which I have been waiting to get back from CBCS coming up to one year in 10 days). I have yet to send my SS #1 for grading. |

| I won an auction on ComicLink last month. I refuse to pay the percentage charged on credit card transactions, so I mail a check. By the time the check clears and they ship the book, I've forgotten what I've won. Surprises all around on arrival. | ||

| That's still money out of your pocket. It's best to do lose the stamp and envelope. 2-3% adds up quick | ||

Slowly turning Silver into Gold and this one required quite the conversion. One down, one to go. |

Two for two tonight! Exhausted a lot of built up Silver in the process, but it's all just value shift within the collection.  |

| @obrie2tm Congrats on the great book. It seems like there is too much money chasing most of the books this week. |

| @drchaos thanks! I agree, missed out on a number of other books I was shooting for, but feel I grabbed this one at a pretty fair price. Harder book in higher grade. | ||

I saw this lot of 86 Daredevil Silver age and Bronze Age books on eBay last week and thought I would put in a bid. I didn't think I would win as I usually get sniped at the last moments but surprisingly I was the only person to bid On this collection of mostly mid grade books. Pre-pandemic I had sold my collection of number one through70 something to help fund my business when the comic book boom happened I thought I would never get to re-buy the collection I had before. This takes a big dent out of that run but I'm trying to complete for Daredevil.   |
