@sportshort - Sorry and thank you; but I would consider trading it to you if you make me an offer I can't refuse! Or feel free to ask me about several thousand other books that are available.

@esarvo, don't be sorry, I don't have anything at this point I am interested in trading. As i mentioned on another thread (i think) i thought I would slab and sell but when the books came back i kept. tough letting go.

P.S. My wife is ready to kill me if she sees one more comic mailer come to my house!

P.P.S. So i have them delivered to the UPS store (shhh...)

@sportshort - My wife (of almost 33 years) made a deal with me. I can buy as many comics as I want, as long as I sell, trade, giveaway, or throw out 10 issues for every one that I receive. (It’s probably been closer to 5:1, but don’t tell her that.)

Sportshort, glad it's not just me! My wife just doesn't understand comics. I honestly think as long as I continue to invest in only high grade ( 7.0 or better)keys (silver and bronze with a smattering of copper) that the returns will beat the market. Additionally, there is a lot more enjoyment investing in comics than stocks. I am for the first time in decades renting a table at a local comic con in the Lehigh Valley next month in hopes of showing her there is money to be made in this industry. Nuff said other than your UPS secret is safe with me.

My wife lets me get comics she just doesn't want me to spend more than 20 dollars every week or two on comics. She knows when a "package" arrives it's more than 20 dollars, and she's seen too many recently so I am back on the leash. UPS store rocks...

I have a bargain in my household too...I somewhat get carte blanche as long as Bill's are paid, or if an emergency comes up I am willing to part with some to pay off some emergency bills... also, comics are my only vice...I don't drink, smoke, gamble etc...so she let's some of it go as I was a bit more rambunctious about 15years ago.

This is a funny diversion on this thread...

You've got a good deal. apparently, my wife gives me carte blanche also as long as she doesn't know about it. But she's sneaky that one, somehow she deduced that the comic shaped packages had comics in them.

LOL @sportshort! My better half is a federal agent and nothing gets by her! We finally agreed that I could open up a separate bank account just for comics with the understanding that all purchases are funded through it as well as monies going in come from the sale of books.

That a nice arrangement. To bad she’s now going to have to kill you for outing a Federal agent. You will be missed.

I’m jealous.

I would love to meet a woman close to my age, 5th degree black belt or higher. Hot date in a sparring match... even if she kicks my ass!

Those Star Comics covers are difficult to find in decent shape - as a bonus the Heathcliff is news stand!!!

Just did a quick check - now have 16 of the 29 covers

Care Bears and Muppet Babies are going to be the tough ones to find in good condition and cheap!!
