| @southerncross "So when you do find a good bricks and mortar store cultivating a good relationship with the owner not only helps them out with regular sales it also helps you to pick up cool books more cheaply in the long run. Especially when you get first crack at the good stuff as it comes into the store. Just a observation I wanted to share with my fellow collectors." @southerncross, that's a great teaching lesson. The problem that I've always had and still have are that the owner of the store that I knew for many many years (who's went out of business a few years ago) was selling his older books for 3 times what they were worth so even if he gave me 50% off (which he wasn't)I would've still been overpaying. Finally a new store has opened in our mall and they seem nice and I have chatted the owner up but the story is the same, back issues way way overpriced. I understand that it's a tough nut to crack, having a store in the mall, but i'm unwilling to overpay for anything. I do wish them luck since it is the store my son (who reads current stuff) buys his comics there but I can't afford any of their older stock. |

| I had the first issue of this which was funny and offensive. I bought this for $1. It's mildly funny and very offensive too. The Unauthorized Lampoon of Howard Stern Vol. 2  |

| I screwed up at a comic show today. I bought an issue of Black Magic and I was thinking about the cover art on the UK version when I bought it. The UK version has an EC reprint in it. Afterwards I realized I'd bought the original US version. Duh! It was a worthy comic to own with a Kirby cover, but it wasn't really in the scope of what I collect. I traded it and added some cash to get this instead. It is more in the scope of what I want to own. Journey Into Mystery #61  I paid full price as a result of recovering from my mistake. It's a very solid copy despite the spine ticks. I usually target a slightly lower grade jut to own them. |

| @sportshort That's not good when all books are overpriced. The old store I mentioned in Australia sold to a new owner unfortunately they have another business they live off and the comic shop is like a hobby. They have a massive selection of wall books but all overpriced even the over published 90s books in the back issue bins. Shame stores are set up like that. I'm not saying all the keys should be bargains but when even the drek $1 books have a $5 price tag it's not the shop for me. |

@Frontier2Xterra Infinity gauntlet. The only comic book series that I was eagerly waiting for the next issue to appear. No other series even great to read has ever done that for me since. Nice pick up  |

Quote:Originally Posted by Frontier2Xterra Outstanding looking upgrade of the Spidey/Medusa Book. Ive been looking for a nice copy of ASM #66 (Mysterio. ASM books in this #60 to #70 are getting more and more expensive. Especially the Higher grades 8.0 and above that are more to my liking. Congrats again on that fine looking Book! |

| @Darkseid_of_town I didn't know he was going to be there until Saturday. I was going through some of my books I wanted to submit and I pulled out the 102 and had totally forgot he was going to be there. When I did remember I was telling my wife wow totally forgot Lou was going to be at the show and trying to remember (yes I'm old and forgetful) what book I had that I wanted him to sign. Then it dawned on me that I had the 102 in my case, it was perfect, time period and all. I do regret not paying the 40 for a picture | ||
