Here is a start to the good low cost opportunities of some books that we need
Please announce if you plan on bidding and what you alias is and how much you want the book for yourself or to scan.

If nobody else is trying for this one I'll probably put in a relatively small bid; in the 10-15$ range.  Nothing spectacular, but we might get lucky.

And this reminded me to check for some other Matt Baker books; I've got Authentic Police Cases 35 on the way from Buy It Now.  So this thread has done some good, at least indirectly, already.

[OtherEric]

And somebody outbid me on the Teen-age Romances; such is life.

Just a side note:  Don't hesitate to post interesting Buy it now items, as well. 

[Yoc]

Thanks for all your buys and shares here Eric.
Sorry about the Teen-age Romances book.   

[OtherEric]

Such is part of eBay life.  I missed the romance book, I got a crime book instead.  I wouldn't have thought to go looking for Baker if somebody hadn't mentioned it here.

That time I went after a batch of coverless Harvey's I only managed to bag one of them but I finished up with an early issue of Jungle Comics which was an unxpected bonus.

On Ebay some you win and some you lose.

I don't have the budget after grabbing some stuff already this week; but this might just qualify as a "good enough to scan but beat up enough to afford" copy of Phantom Lady 19:

[OtherEric]

Actually, after talking with the seller, they're willing to wait until I can pay for it in a couple weeks if I win.  So, I'll go ahead and ask:  What seems like an appropriate bid on this book in this condition, and was anybody else interested in making a run for it?  If the GD 2.0 list is about 180, and they're saying it's between 1.0 and 1.5, I'm inclined to say an appropriate bid is around 150 given the popularity of the title; a bit over Guide but not _that_ much over guide.  I'm not used to bidding on books like this; I would appreciate some advice.  And I don't want to step on the toes of anybody else here going for it; so I'll wait at least a day before bidding.

[narfstar]

Price drops quickly with grade.  If it is a 1 then the price should be less than half of a 2.  Popularity may make it higher but I would not expect over $100. Just my 2 cents.

[rez]

Looks like it would be a fun cover scan to reconstruct. She's pretty beat but may not be brittle.
I'd advise waiting till the end of the auction and then sending in your best bid instead of showing your hand early and letting others see your interest. You might end up getting it for the $50 or there abouts if someone tries spiking it a one or fiver at the end.
Good luck.

In your corner.

Well, the cover is probably the one thing we don't need to worry about; I'm sure we can find a high quality copy on heritage.  Anyway, it looks like I'll be making a bid on this one, even if I do wait until the last minute for the obvious reasons.  So unless somebody else wants a go; I'll plan on handling this one.  Wish me luck!

[JonTheScanner]

There are actually sniping programs you can run which will automatically bid for you in hte last few seconds of the auction.  Don't recall the names of any, but some posters here use them I know.

Top Spot Comics # 1 (Top Spot Publishing ... Gerona ...  Holyoke) with The Duke of Darkness & The Menace.  Ends on September 27, seller has 100% on 6500+ feedbacks, so the guy obviously isn't into ripping people off.  It's up to $78 US + S&H on 4 bids, which is more than I'm willing to pay for a comic.

Good luck to anyone willing to give this a shot.

thelesneydude is definitely a class act...  I bought from him a few years ago when I was trying to finish up a couple of Bronze Age series...  consistent grading, and nice packing are his trademarks

He has several books not yet scanned not too expensive. Several Ajax
