Issue 52 is just a nice Quick Kick vs Storm Shadow cover, high grade newsstand.
Issue 9 I picked up because it advertised the Lake Side Tatooz were intact. But only the add was inside. Some books the month of ASM238 only had the adds, but some of those didn’t have the tats inside the add, but I’ve never come across one. So I figured I’d buy it and check it out in case I want to seek out more, and I don’t have this issue. They’re hard to find.
I’ve been looking to pick up a Fantasy Masterpieces “reprint”
Of Silver Surfer 3. Finally find a copy in decent shape for less than what I’d pay on eBay.
The Fantastic Four 296 is a very high grade newsstand of the 25th Anniversary cover. Not one of the more scarce covers, but still a tough find on NM for newsstand.
A couple of finds from my local book shop that sells a few comics in a £1 a comic box. Only the last comic is noteworthy, but that one is probably one of my best book shop finds ever.
The JLA is some kind of first, but I always seem to see them about for cheap. The Painkiller Jane had a really nice cover.(Painted by someone called Nelson?)
Then I lucked out and found a book I’d wanted for ages!
Pretty niche, but I love Budd Roots art and this goes for a pretty penny. Part of me wants it for my PC to sit with my Dave Stevens covers and the other part of wants to cash in!
Finally got around to picking up my Spidey 7’s from the LCS. Also picked up the expanse for the read. Supposedly continues from where the tv series left off, so I’m excited to read it.
I know that feeling once you find that honey hole you got to clean it out. I’ve pumped thousands into a store the last month I’ve stumbled across by accident online. Good mix of stuff I want and stuff with 400, 500, 1000% profit margins. Break even on my order within 24hrs of it arriving with a few sales. I’ve put away a short box in a hall of silver age keys for my pc in that month.
One must clean out a honey hole before someone else finds it. I found a sweet honey hole that sold old postcards & they were only open a few months during the summer months. Actually I didn’t find it but my sister and brother in law did and they let me know.
He also had a stash of Silver & Bronze Age DC & Marvel books he was selling for $2 each. However if you didn’t take the top loaders they were in they were only $1. All were high grade and I didn’t sell one book for less than $100. I bought everything he had over the course of a month and it was several hundred books in all.
Since we’re on the topic!
I believe I talked about recently deciding to cut the cord on a couple of nice Heir to the Empires. Sold a 9.8 and a newsstand 9.6.
Found my own little honey hole and reinvested a portion of my profits into this. $800 out the door.
I still have a nice chunk of money left to spend at a con in a few weeks on a big book.
Super happy with these. The conditions are beautiful as well. I already had a lesser Giant Sized Chillers I paid nothing for, so I can sell it now also. I love horror stuff so the Creature Commandos stuff was a fun, FOMO cheap buy in with good potential.
I grew up playing Dragons Lair in arcades and that comic book is not only sooooo cool, but a real pain in the arse to find. You just don’t see it from my experience.
The Kirby art on those Thor’s…just so good.
