  I really enjoy you covering these kind of stories. Easily stuff I’d miss. What an interesting lot.

  I started collecting the "Marvel Multi Mags" (MUL TEE not MUL TIE) in 1971 and they have huge value in the bag. You would never open them..it loses the uniqueness of the item.  We tore into these bags when we were kids and few survived.  There are websites devoted to collecting these rare items. DC started it in 1962 with the DC Superpacks.

  Would love the buyer to step forward and document the process of trying to get them graded and see if they actually make a profit on this. Seems really risky but who knows maybe it'll pay off.

  With the number of misspellings in the description for a key item (or "tem") gives me SERIOUS pause about that auction house

  Hi-Bid is great for comic book sellers. Comics always go for higher than Ebay prices, even with shitty photos, and you don’t lose on the Ebay seller fee. And THEN the buyer’s premium is tacked on top, too!

  Would never spend that on a auction I couldn't inspect in person.

  I mean, people seem to forget the print counts for these comics, were not like 20 or 30 comics. It was 10s of thousands and hundreds of thousands yknow

  I love these older multi mag bags from the 1960s. Grades range from 9.2 to 9.8 after pressing. Page quality is white or off white to white. If the bag looks like it was well cared for, the books inside tend to be nearly pristine.

  I am not surprised at all!, it was just a matter of time! &nbsp;I&apos;m going to guess it was a person that had a news stand and kept them instead of selling them when they were so cheap when they first came out.<br>This guy speculated and won big time. As for the buyer?, it is what it is! If you can afford it?

  I&apos;ve used hi bids before. &nbsp;I generally find that stoage unit hunters use it to get rid of stock as well as some pawn shops. &nbsp;I find it is more geared to local communities as you can do ship[ping on many but really pick up is the main use.

  In my childhood we had those 3 comics for $5 bags at Ben Franklins.

  The person that paid 27k for that got a steal.
