Owner's Description

Comiclink auction win - October 2015. This copy is tied with 15 (yes, fifteen) others for second highest graded on the CGC census (trailing two 9.8's). This was actually one of my earlier purchases in the run. By 2015, I had a good portion of my JLA run completed and I was getting a little restless - there were fewer and fewer opportunities for me to improve/add to my JLA run, so I thought I would look into another title.

Because the registry set for the complete JLA run also included Brave and the Bold #28-30, I had already obtained three very key parts of the B&B run. So, I figured of any title, it made sense to collect this one. If I had ever had a Showcase #4, I would've used that same logic to go after a Showcase run.

So, I was starting to collect B&B's as of 2015. It was still a secondary priority for me, though, as JLA's were still #1 for me and I would put my dollars there first rather than with B&B's. This would mean that a number of the B&B issues that came to auction would go by me. With this particular issue, the next year a 9.8 came to auction and I only put in a half-hearted bid on it. So, in April 2021, another 9.8 had my attention. As it turns out, it had the attention of a couple other people too...and my bid of $2,100 was outbid twice in the last ten seconds and it went to some other deserving home for the grand price of $3,211. Oh well, a 9.8 of B&B#73 was due in less than a minute, and I was leading on that book with a much higher reserve bid, so getting one of the two wouldn't be all that bad...uh oh.
