Went to an LCS to look for Red Hood and Sonic books.
Struck out there, but picked up some consultation.
These particular Shattered Glass Hasbro Toy/Retailer exclusive books (Starscream and Jetfire) have sold for $50 recently (in the poly bag). Not many on eBay, and that seems to be asking price… Grabbed for $10 ea.
The Clone Wars is a nice NM or better. Still gets $15 or more. Paid $5. 1st Commander Wolffe?
The others are PC books. Howard I grabbed for $3. Spider-Man was a $1 bin find.
I’m going to start keeping an eye out for high grade Spider-Man Mcfarlane covers in newsstand as something to do. Hard to pass his work up for $1….even that series.

Speaking of McFarlane in high grade and newsstand, I have been picking up his early work on Infinity Inc. not super easy to find but it is out there and usually really cheap.

100% on both. I’ve been doing the same.
Also aside from Coyote 11, the other covers have some value as well.
I haven’t seen an my of his Coyote covers.
Heh…well bout this. Only ordered 2 from my LCS as I really wasn’t impressed with the offerings.
Pulled the 1:500 Jim Lee!
Guess I should play the lotto now.

My LCS had no blind bags out. In fact, they didn’t have a single variant cover on the shelf. But had about a bazillion cover A’s.

Happy to report that I skipped the Batman Blind Bag. Instead, I found these. My Ghost Machine obsession continues.

Hard to believe that batgirls book was selling for less than $20 a few weeks ago. Now cheapest copy is $100.
They’re still out there.
Yep. I got it for cover price. NM+ book, too. All of these books were cover, except for a few Ghost Machine and a few I didn’t show were $2 each.
That Nightwing 122 is officially gone from eBay. Might put that up for $100 and see what happens.
Didn’t find any of the hot books. Did find some early spawn in NM for .50 each today. Working on filling in my Spawn and Witchblade runs.

I hit a shop where I get all of my supplies at great prices. They ordered me 1000 BCW silver boards for $75. Found a few good books, too.
#1 was cover. The others were $1.
These were $3 each. The World’s Finest is selling around $20.
And look what I found! Not one of the super pricey ones, but selling around $50. Got it for half of cover price, which was $20.

I picked up a couple of the annuals last week and need to list a copy. I’m lazy.
Went to a local Slackers to dig as I hadn’t checked it out for a bit. Slackers is a bit like Vintage Stock or Half Price Books. A mix of movies, comics, and so forth. I found a nice mix of stuff, especially, “Adventure Time,” comics with variants that go for 15 or more bucks. Some TMNT from the series that went up to 150 issues. A decent mix.

Don’t forget to check the “sets” section at shops. I feel like these are usually ignored.
But, I found a cheap set of Robins. And the sticker noted that issue 2 wasn’t an A cover.
I sold my last Robins 2 Robles for $90.

Went into a shop today and noticed they had a few boxes buried under other boxes and DC 2023/2024 was written on the sides. I thought there would be potential for some Mora covers and I found these. They also had multiple copies of Batgirls #15 which I think is a great cover that hasn’t heated up like some of this others… So I figured these were good enough for now. I’ll be back for those Batgirls if they ever start getting the attention they deserve.

Was not motivated at work so left early to look for some pumpkin Spicy. Did not find any, but did find several more of these Nightwing annuals. These were at a honey hole of mine, not my usual LCS.
The last two books I just grabbed for the PC.

A preemptive post. A big shop has a sale Saturday. All back issues up to $10 are $1. I have a massive list to hunt, and will probably buy a bunch of DSTLRY books to read. Fingers crossed for a successful hunt!

Got a call from a LCS I buy a bunch of back issues from saying “hey we got a collection in you would like”. Joe had a game tonight and Sam had practice but in between baseball and, well, more baseball I made a quick trip. Here is what I got.
First up, an early Aquaman Nick Cardy book. I love bronze horror and this is an odd one. Second book is Madhouse, which was an Archie humor series that switched over to a horror book for three issues. This is the second of the three issues with cover and story by the legend Bruce Jones.
I love Matt Wagner and own Mage in the first print collected editions and have a near complete run of singles. #1 completed the collection. A1 True Life Bikini Confidential is a hard to find Adam Hughes cover with Hughes pinups.
The seller must have bought a lot from MCS because I picked these all up as run fillers in my Hughes Catwoman collection.

Well, this didn’t quite deliver. I shouldn’t say that. 31 books for $31, but I was hoping for a few more finds. Still, a solid hunt.
I still believe in Nice House.
Mora Madness (Putri, too)
A few variants and Tom King books
Bunch of readers
In theory, I can flip the Mora Worlds Finest to pay for all of these.
