Is it too early to start asking why the book hasn’t gotten here yet and being a prima-donna of a customer?
Cancelled……j/k.
I tell ya, as long as they do not come untagged and taped to a cereal box and sent in an envelope, I am a pretty easy going customer.
Don’t forget unbagged, no “backer” board.
Auto correct changed my unbagged to untagged. I swear autocorrect makes more errors than I do.
Not exactly an LCS (an Hour drive away). This place is a collectible warehouse that opens up every few week and has comic deals.
Fill a long box for $x, and 50% off “keys” or whatever.
Anyway, discussed my experience in another thread, but here are my pick-ups.
22 books for $80 total. You can let me know if I did alright.
First up are the books I intended to flip to hopefully pay for the lot.
The Detective 38 reprint is actually polybagged with 2 other comic reprints. Batman #121 and Detective 359. These were Toys R Us reprints. I have all 3 in high grade already, but was cool to find them still in a polybag.
High grade Titans Go I always check out. Most pass on these, but some can be good flips.
1st Darth Talon (newsstand). Geiger hopefully will heat up someday.
Wonderman Newsprint in potential 9.8 grade. Iron Cat variant used to be a hot book.
These I’m not sure what to do with yet. Lower grade, but nice covers. Can fetch good money if grade was better.
Grabbed some lower grade older Batman’s for the PC. The B&tB 93 is a good flip if you can find it cheap. If I find a better copy I’ll let this one go.
An early Jason Todd issue. Plus a Scarecrow BM Adventures cover.
Some Hobgoblin ASMs I’m not sure I’m missing…so I just grabbed them. The ASM 66 is is rough shape, but cover still attached. Nice reader copy.
A Star Trek GK I needed for my run. I need to start gathering NYX Middleton covers if I find them cheap. Then I’ll go for the bigger keys. I thought the What If Doom could be a spec book….if doom becomes a good guy…? Cool cover and maybe a good read made it worth a grab. Decent condition too.
And a couple GI Joes for the PC. First Beachhead and the other was just a high grade newsstand early in the run.

Iron Cat was a fun gimmick. They oughta bring it back!
@MrComo ships quickly and packages well. Much appreciated for the speedy delivery and GI Joe reader.
Still left negative feedback because that’s the kind of guy I am.

Thank you, sir! Appreciate it! You know what they say - any feedback is good feedback….unless it’s not positive feedback - then keep it to yourself

I seriously didn’t realize I ordered it four days ago. Shipped super fast. Much appreciated (and for the record folks I left glowing feedback.)
I can confirm the glowing review. Thanks!
I got one book at the LCS today. They got in a collection of Green Lantern and Justice league.
Only book I found paid $4

Easy flips still at cover. Haven’t had a much luck with new release/flips, so this was a pleasant find.
Second pic are $1 books that actually have decent value, not well known & easily passed over by most.

Stopped at a few shops I’ve never been in before today about an hour from home. First shop, which didn’t have much for back issues (more of a card shop) I found these. They didn’t have price tags but the guy said $50. They’re not in NM shape, but I think between the Joe 21 (3rd print) and Godzilla books (issue 24 is probably VF/NM) I can get my money back plus a small profit.
These I found in some collectibles shop in the mall…paid $2 each. Kind of cool to find an early Tick book, first print too.

I stopped briefly at a shop while out of town. Only found a couple, but they were good finds. All cover price.

Were they in specific alphabetized back issues or just mixed in randomly? I ask because those are good finds and I am impressed nobody else had scooped them up!
Perfectly alphabetized. I was also surprised.
