Went back to a shop with some Absolutes to grab a few more Martian Manhunter and Wonder Woman 1s….turns out since I last visited a couple weeks ago they re-priced most books to FMV. Doh!!!
Still found a ok books…But not as big a score as I was hoping.
Possibly my last honey hole run for a while. Well is drying up a bit, and drives are getting a bit far. I need to start transitioning into my pressing hobby.
Hit a couple shops today. Left behind quite a few Martian manhunter 3-5 cover As.
The only Exquisite Corpses 1 I found was the Frison cover.
Batman 145 Putri appear to be a ghost on eBay now…
I found 2 copies, but the owner would only let me buy one. (First time he’s done that to me in several visits). And I never take more than two anyway. Didn’t know until I went to the counter, otherwise I would have left one there to get another day. I guess he doesn’t like me giving him business anymore.
Not sure why shops care how many copies you grab if it’s back stock…I’m a bit baffled by this.
Grabbed these at cover price today. Already listed on ebay. Sold 1-2 last week for $65 so I’m hopeful these move quickly because the shop had more at cover.
Had some free time this morning thx to blizzard work stuff and hit up a shop that doesn’t put anything out except the last few weeks. Everything is in dated boxes you need to dig through. Usually I end up wasting a lot of time which I don’t have much of, so I don’t come here too often.
Didn’t know there was a recent dell’otto Nightwing cover out there. Not too many on eBay.
Paid up for the ACE 2As…but still about half the eBay going rate. I’ll keep one so I can move my cover B copy. Otherwise all I found was issue 7B. Will hit some more ships tomorrow to look for more.
pre-snowpocalypse finds.
i never find rook or conan books, but glad to have these. Curious to see if the Cap 1 2nd print does anything with the series being a good read.
this week’s pick ups. that superman manga cover is tough but got one from my LCS. they only had one. had another in hand Tues night but the guy at the counter didnt want to sell books b/c theyre supposed to put them out Wed. there was a sign but i ignored it b/c theyve sold to me on a Tues before.
so lame, blew the sale and theyre primarily a card/playing/tournament store with new books, no back issues. went back today, only one they had was gone and 2 other spots i went to didnt have it. most likely grabbed on Wed.
Love the Punisher cover so had to grab one.
I love flipping Red Hood covers… last time I found Kerschl variants they were in the dollar bin. These were cover but they sell for around $30-$40. The 1:25 Nakayama is, imo,.one of the best Red Hood covers out there. It’s already around $100 in NM condition but I think there’s so much room for growth.
Batgirl 1-4 covers A and some variants are $20+ currently. Not sure why, probably just harder to find. This is the first time I’ve found copies and they only had issue 2.
Got a call from my local honey hole. Said he got in a collection from a guy who needed to sell and get money quick. Had some Absolute Batman books in it and was I interested.
I said what did he have.
Absolute Batman reprints mostly. But did have an Absolute Batman Annual
