| I've bid way more than I want to spend on one book, Superman 30. I'm waiting for someone to outbid me so I can be free again to bid on other books. | ||

I won the Superman 30, first appearance Mr. Mxyztplk, always a book I've had on the list. I'm a little in shock. I think I might puke. |

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

 I'd like to say I still turned out alright, but that would be a lie.

| @EbayMafia nice book, enjoy the debt, but if you're looking for a decent way to reduce your expenses Chase Sapphire Preferred is giving 100,000 bonus points = $1000 cash back if you spend $4000 the first 3 months of opening an account and it has a $95 annual fee. I'm not sure what other credit card deals are out there, but this may be an option, although it can take up to 30 days to be approved. Let me know if you're interested and I'll split the $200 referral fee bonus with you. | ||

| @flanders bummer, I just did something like that about 3 days ago. I wasn't thinking of using it for this purchase but that's a good idea. | ||

| somebody should buy this Thunder Agents #1 at $66. Cool Wally Wood cover in an undervalued #1. I have a similar grade in PGX slab: https://www.mycomicshop.com/search?ItemID=47711733 |

| I've decided that if I don't share my auction wins, it means I haven't won anything and am still sticking to my goal of no purchases over cover price until 2022. | ||

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

@Scifinator it looks like someone took a cheese grater to the back of that Transformers cover. The CGC 9.8 newsstand copy on MCS looks far cleaner. You should be happy you were outbid: |

| @flanders - thanks, i would have been fine with it though as I believe it is manufacture related and the cover was good. | ||
