At that rate you can have one copy in every room of the house plus the car.

You guys are killin' me!

It seems a lot more cutthroat now that I know whom I'm bidding against.  Or is snipin' me.     I know who you are! 

A few things I've just lost...

Austin Stone #2

Eggie and the Mirror

Kampus Kapers


Ah, but that's the nature of the game, ain't it?

[Brother J]

Sorry, my man. It's weird with eBay. Sometimes you can get something dirt cheap and other times, the prices are pretty high. If it makes you feel any better, I bid a lot higher for that Kampus Kapers than I won it for.

Don't feel too bad about the Austin Stone #2, here's a unique one of a kind one I'm depressed I didn't grab.

Here was a Buy It Now steal:

http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&rd=1&item=320214737884

Insect Fear #1, 2, and 3 for $18.50 shipped. Condition was decent, not high grade, but not falling apart, either.

E-freakin'-GADS!

[50Cent #II (1st print)]

Nice!

[oldmilwaukee6er]

OK... i popped the BIN on this one.   I was surprised to see it and I figured 2x Kennedy was OK...  Did I do good?  I debated this one all day.

[50Cent #II (1st print)]

I thought this was a big purchase at first...

[oldmilwaukee6er]

nope just $13 shipped.

I think you did fine, Fogel lists it as $10 in NM. I might have paid more for mine. I've found that another Hansen book seems to be a bit tougher is "Let's Not 'N Say We Did Funnies", which guides for $30 in the Fogel. They both came out in 1972 from Adam's Apple, I wonder if the print runs were that different or if it was a matter of content?

I always found the title of the latter book amusing, as that is a saying I say frequently, when someone says to me "Let's do..." or "Let's go..." to something I don't want to do or someplace I don't want to go, I often say "Let's not and say we did." It must be a more common saying than I thought...

yeah... interesting guide values on this one. 
Kennedy (1982) = $5
FUG (2006) = $10

i could not quickly find print run information (nothing in Kennedy). 

is this something Donahue has?

anyways... i was  last night & saw that Reddy Kilowatt cover again and went *yoink*

Don has a fine condition copy of Like Nobody's Bizness for $17, so I think you did ok.

A couple guys here know what I won, and I feel bad to have outbid them, but I am nonetheless happy to have picked up my first copy of All-Stars #2, completing my mini-set:

And yes, 50C, I did a side-by-side comparison with the one you just sold here. They looked pretty comparable, wouldn't you agree?

had no idea that you didn't already have this book, so my other post is pretty much null and void.
