Ummmmmmmmmmmm .... I'm guessing the owner felt used comics should be sold at the same price as used softcover and hardcover books? Let's just leave it at that

I purchased 2 NM copies in 1988 from an LCS for $1.50 each.
Held onto both for years and years.
Regrettably sold 1 NM copy for $250 about 5 or 6 years ago.
And sent this one into CBCS last year I think it was.

I have yet to grab one, my goals this year were lethal protector 1 gold foil which I did get, and an asm 300. Hoping I can get lucky at one of the cons I have coming up and find one for a reasonable price or trade. If the stray dogs 1 copy I got grades for at least 9.8 that'll help me a good bit lol

I got these from a good friend and gave him a fair amount for them as his mom was getting on his case about them being in her house for many years. I will have photos of the good stuff maybe by tomorrow. There is mostly all comic books under the paperback and trades. There is at least 3 of the Marvel Fireside books and some key books. Some keys are Xmen 120, ASM 194, Marvel Premier 47 (1st Scott Lang Antman.)

@BrianGreenships Those Fireside books are the bomb! So undervalued and underappreciated imo. I guess it's cos they can't be "graded". I dunno.

The one, for me, that I just don't get is still so cheap is the Silver Surfer Fireside book by Lee, Kirby, and Sinnott. It is an original story. Original. And yet it lingers, lingers, lingers for sale. And I buy buy buy when I see one in really nice condition.

I'm not even sure it's ever been reprinted? If it has, it's not hitting the noggin

First time I read those Ditko Spider-Man when I was a little kid. Those pocketbooks were magic to me then. I have 2 and 3 almost brand new, just have to upgrade 1!

So odd, I was just looking at this eBay listing earlier for #1, it may interest you as it is listed as 9.0...

Also, the seller has 5 of these available at only $14 each.

I loved those pocket books as a kid, had all 3 ASM & #1 of FF, Hulk & Captain America. I don't think I had the Dr. Strange one. I had thought of recollecting these because they have sentimental value, maybe someday.

That first Spider-Man pocket book was the first time I ever read a comic book! Got it on a family vacation when I was like 5 or 6 years old. Been hooked ever since.

The superman 30 has a severe spine roll and hoping the fact its staples seem secure and paper is supple means some magic can be worked… had a bunch more Hot Wheels delivered too… and always looking for more ;-)

Nothing overly special here but landing books locally anymore makes them feel “special”.

Thanks so much for pointing that out to me. Yes the grade is great and I would get it but the $25 plus more charges from eBay global shipping to Canada kills the sale for me. I’ll find another one.

I also have the FF which is one of my favourite Gil Kane covers because of this childhood book. Also the Hulk 1, you can read the whole original run.

Anyone who’s thinking of getting these don’t wait they are still so cheap for being over 40 years old.

Stopped at the lcs today for comics from my pull list and also a quick look in the bins.

Nothing special but $9 CAD for a CPV variant is ok yes??

Had some raws I won come in today:

I've been wanting a copy of this for a while, so I got lucky to find the foil version.











And a couple of slabs I bought from a new place in my area. He has a pretty good selection. I love these covers:



My first, and only, PGX. I couldn't pass it up at $30 cause I do love the Dr. Seuss ICM cover.
