The incredible jaw-dropping auction results thread

[cimmerian32]

This has always been one of my favorite covers from the DD run... It is a work of art, separate from being part of a story. Some of the other "better" covers mentioned, 158, 168, etc.... don't really stand as separate pieces of art to me, as they merely illustrate a segment of a story. The DD/Black Widow cover, on the other hand, tells no story whatsoever, yet encompasses some real emotive response imagery. When you look at it, do you think "passionate embrace" or "attack from behind"? Heh... sorry to lapse into unwanted verbosity, but as I said, this has always been one of my favorite DD Miller covers, and If I had the scratch, I would've been a third bidder to push the price to even higher "retarded" levels.

A Flash ashcan is up for grabs according to this blurb on CBR... only asking 5M (USD).

All I can say is that, m108 must be a very happy camper this evening...  these books generally sell in the 20-40 range, with occasional bid-war exceptions.  But, in 6 years of watching them, I have never seen a group garner this much collective interest.  Granted, most of the higher end items were due to a bid war between two people, but even then, some of them were sniped by someone else!  Just an astounding auction to watch!

Thankfully, I only needed one of the ones available, which I won for 29.32 shipped

Thanks for the info CIMM!   
Sorry!

My copy isn't in very high grade, but I happened to get a copy of the Nov. 50 issue a few weeks ago; less than $20.  Unfortunately I figured out later that is was missing one page.  The story I specifically cared about was intact, though, along with the one I was interested in as long as I had the book, so I'm not terribly unhappy.

[Geo (RIP)]

We still need a lot of those issues as many are still in fiche, and need paper copies to replace them. I'm sure we'll see both of your copies up'd when your both done with the scanning and editing on them. Looking forward to them when there ready.

Hehe, Geo.
