Here are some examples of my attempts to win some books at auctions (Comicconnect and Metropolis Comics and eBay)

For Anglo_American: Freelance #31, grade 8.0 CPG value $25 sold for $69 in 2013
Grand Slam Three Aces#45 graded a 2.0 had a CPG price of $3.20 and sold for $10 in 2013
Spy Smasher #2 grade 3.0: CPG $6 sold for $70 in 2013, #9 grade 5.0 CPG $10 sold for $125.
In 2014 I tried for two Triumph Comics (got one! YAY!): issue #13 a 3.0 CPG $12 sold for $350 and issue #13 grade 3.5 sold for $375 (no price for that one on CPG but it does have a picture). Nelvana of the Northern Lights, a female hero pre-dating Wonder Woman (just) is a popular reason for this titles popularity.

My hope is that if the price can reflect the true going rates that people won't just discard them if they think they're worthless, which I fear is what happened long ago. I know the books have gone beyond my price range (Check out eBay to see! Active comics, a CGC 7.0 #23 sold for $300 in 2013. on eBay right now is a #24, CGC 7.0 but they are now asking $2000! This is compared with the $87.50 CPG has a CGC 7.0 copy of this comic valued as) but still feel it important to give them their due (Check out the article in last years Overstreet for a great article on their history!)

Please let me know what you think
