Found this in a antique market for $2, my best find of 2025 so far.

Nice, I actually have a really good collection of British Captain Marvel Comics
That is a cool cover.
I got these 2 for 6 bucks total.
The Batman Adventures were .99 cents.
The rest of the these were. 50 cents each. Whenever I see indie stuff if it’s a complete run and .50 cents each I will pick it up even if I have no idea what it is. Some of it turns out to be a good read and some of it is worth some money.

That taskmaster looks pretty high grade.
The local show I went to today was mostly a dud. Crazy busy, which is a good sign. But, not a ton of dollar bins to dig through, surprisingly. I only bought a couple books.
My favorite book of the day is this C cover for Beauty, signed by the three creators. I figured if this hits a TV/movie someday, cool. Otherwise, I like what I’ve read from the story so far, and this will look nice in the PC.

I loved Beauty. Was a very solid series.

I liked what I read of it then fell behind on a lot of stuff. Need to finish this.

Went to the elitecomics11 expo yesterday and it was really good. They did a great job inviting local shops and out of state vendors that they do live shows on their IG with. Was trippy hearing Georgia and Tennessee accents in Queens 
Got some good deals and did some trading. I actually really enjoy trading at shows, I feel like it’s a lost art and not a lot of vendors are open to it unless they get to rape you. The dealer I traded with gave me 90% of last sold in trade value which helped us close the deal.
Here’s everything I picked up:

1st Sabrina and the best looking 3.0 I’ve seen

Did you get them all from the same dealer?
Great score in the Marvel Spotlight. Did you pull the Red Hood from a dollar bin? 
This show has been advertised a lot around me, but price of admission and it being a very long day (it would be about a 4 hr round trip)…well, I’m going to save that for NYCC. I also have Terrificon this summer practically in my backyard (about 10 min drive). So gotta pick my battles!

The madhouse, ASM 124 and Spider-Gwen were from the same dealer who I made the trade with. The others were each from a different dealer.
I agree that $20 admission was steep, but I figured that’s what it’d cost to ship my Steranko signing books to CGC, so I submitted them at the show and it was essentially a wash.
Is terrificon the one at Mohegan? I’m hoping to go this year.

Yes. Mohegan. If you’re not into throwing your money away at exclusives, you can gamble it away in the casino.
Just don’t forget to grab a pizza pie at Pepe’s.

Yep… was Elite expo today as well.
But my full and 100% concentration was on Vincent D’Onofrio autographs

How much were the Auto’s? Graded and raw?
I was curious about that, but I don’t have a kingpin book that was likely worth getting signed.
How long were the lines? Was it a madhouse?

Not a madhouse at all.
I waited on line for about an hour maybe? Somewhere around there.
His auto’s were $80 apiece and he took the time to chat with everyone that wanted to chat.
CGC witness guy was on the line the whole time to give you one of those CGC tamper free bags
I had purchased a couple of the Ross Timeless Kingpin covers for a few bucks, a few weeks ago to be prepared.

ahhh… you’re seeing a vision of a James Gunn Ambush Bug too huh?
I’ve purchased close to 20 high grade of those DC Comic Presents since Gunn was heading the charge.
It may not pan out, but if it does, and our visions are correct… then BOOM!

Yep! I don’t have as many copies as you but every time I find a NM copy for $5 or so I’ll grab it. It’s been surprisingly tough to find high grade copies in the wild. If they’re not NM I pass. Even if the spec doesn’t play out, it’s a desirable book, shouldn’t be tough to move.
That’s awesome that you got the autographs. I couldn’t go today, I went yesterday.
