Auction Watch #41
Posted by Chad Perry in Auction Watch, UofM News on June 3, 2010
Normally Auction Watch attempts to showcase auctions to M.U.S.C.L.E. collectors that would be interesting for a variety of reasons: uniqueness, price, scale, etc. Occasionally an auction is featured because it is absolutely outlandish. Auction Watch #41 features three auctions – each more peculiar than the last.
Auction Watch #40
Posted by Chad Perry in Auction Watch, UofM News on May 25, 2010
Auction Watch #39 had an example of a collector identifying a popular figure, Satan Cross, and offering the seller a Buy-It-Now scenario to snatch up the figure. Eschewing the morality of that situation, Auction Watch #40 showcases an opportunity for all M.U.S.C.L.E. collectors to have a great Buy-It-Now opportunity plus an interesting Color figure auction.

Auction Watch #39 features the single largest lot of one specific type of counterfeit M.U.S.C.L.E. figure ever seen, plus the M.U.S.C.L.E. figure that has created his own false value – Satan Cross.
Auction Watch #38

Sometimes it’s fun to just see something because it is big. Sometimes it’s fun to see something because it’s dumb. Auction Watch #38 lets you see both.
Auction Watch #37

Art 100 showcases the variety of counterfeit figures created in the wake of the popularity of M.U.S.C.L.E. figures. For some collectors these figures represent nothing more than sloppy copies of the beloved figures. Other collectors might see the uniqueness, kitschiness, and/or historicalness of the figures. Auction Watch #37 gives us an opportunity to focus on one unique counterfeit figure, and acknowledge the other figures.
Auction Watch #36
Posted by Chad Perry in Auction Watch, UofM News on April 9, 2010
Satan Cross might be the M.U.S.C.L.E. item that best eludes the confines of predictability. However, M.U.S.C.L.E. posters may soon dethrone Satan Cross as the most unpredictable M.U.S.C.L.E. item.
Auction Watch #35

Is this shameless self-promotion? Yes.
Is this currently the most interesting M.U.S.C.L.E. auction? Again, yes.

Satan Cross has been a popular topic within the University of M.U.S.C.L.E.. It has been featured in write-ups regarding its price and been highlighted in, at least, a half-dozen Auction Watch entries. Auction Watch #33 showcases two more auctions for this celebrated and commonplace figure.
