I feel like I lucked out at my LCS yesterday. I was able to snag this piece of comic book history for $7.50 when it was all said and done. I know it’s not a rare bird and it won’t make me rich, but I am super happy to have this in my collection!

Hello @BatmanFan ,
Welcome to the WILDCATS Fan Club. You are now the proud owner of a comic that literally billions of other collectors own as well.
Enjoy!

I know, like I said, not a rare bird but cool to have a piece of history in my collection.
Its like when I find a 1936 quarter in my change and I wonder who held it before I did. Was it in JFKs pocket at one time? Did it go over seas and fight in a war?
I guess when it comes down to it, I’m a history nerd.

Found 2 copies (in amazing shape!) of JL Annual #1 today, that while not at a discount were at cover price.

Is it being specced on at all right now? I’ve had two copies listed for a Month at a pretty reasonable price…And just crickets…
It’s still selling 2-3x cover on eBay (I checked in store before pulling the trigger on them). Not fast, mind you, but still happening.
I’ve sold 4 copies of JL Annual 1 in the past two weeks.
I also liked your name @ein. It’s from Cowboy Beebop. My wife is a huge fan of Steve Blum. And has her car’s license plates to the theme song lol.

Thanks! My parents passed on a love of corgis to me (we had two growing up, one of which was a red and white Pembroke just like ein)… but also, everything about Cowboy Bebop is just wonderful.

A few fun finds from Friday. Was visiting my sis out of town (through a darn window as she is in a care facility-what sad times these are).
Got all of these for cover or less with the exception of the Darth Vader #1 2nd ($9). Was very surprised to finally find a Justice League in the wild. I had given up hope.
Most excited about that Jedi vs Sith #3… that’s the 1st cover of Darth Bane. Just a matter of time before we see him in film imo.
Anyway, fun haul of pretty diverse stuff.
Grabbed some other current stuff not pictured like We Live #1 x3 & the WW annual 4.

My LCS bought a massive collection of mostly recent-ish stuff. He says to me, “there’s a bunch of books in here that look like the stuff you read” which means not superhero stuff. XD
Anyway, I found a Paper Girls #1 in pristine shape that I got for like $4 in one pile. Hadn’t heard of much of the rest of it, and I still might grab some of the other books. Unfortunately, there didn’t look like complete arcs/runs so it would be annoying to fill the rest in which is less fun. Neat stack to look through though!

You need to go back and give that seller another C note, or seven…lol…nice score. 
What condition are the books in, iyo?
The top and bottom rows are high grade. I’d be surprised if the any came back lower than a 9.6, some 9.8 candidates such as the ASM4, ASM 569, tec880, Thors and Green Lantern 20
The middle 2 rows range from probably a 3.0-9.0, those where just buy them because they were so cheap, no intention to grade any of them and already have 9.8’s of some of them anyway.
