| Some black Friday comics. Also got some Green Lanterns to fill in some gaps in my run from the 70s and 5 Demon comics from the initial series and New x-men #114 (2001) One local shop was 40% off wall comics and the other 30%. 50% off back issues and random stuff in long boxes. combined I was under $150 after taxes. Even if I'm off by 1 full grade point I still got them cheaper than the FMV before the Spring insanity.   |

| @sportshort That's why I've come to love MCS. You get a book and an industry-respected 3rd party grade all in one. Having that tight MCS grade on raw books can be quite useful now that getting books slabbed has become such an ordeal. | ||

 I'd like to say I still turned out alright, but that would be a lie.

| My local comic shop just deals in back issues and is always getting good stuff in. Like a few days ago he picked up 5 short boxes of golden age. Funny animal, Shazam's, Superboy's, Tom and Jerry's, Miss America and a bunch of other stuff like a complete set of Tonto's A quick snap of stuff I picked up and was looking at.  Another shop cheery picked the collection and I think they pulled out a first appearance Brainiac |

I feel like the early Wrightson and Adams covers on HOS and HOM are getting bought up. Nothing here of significant value but I wanted this awesome cover: So I bought a lot on Ebay that included these cool covers:    |

| 2 more books from my other local comic book store. I know some here don't have a local store that does back issues so they buy online. Where I am fortunate that my local shops have books from the golden age up so I use online buying to a lesser extent.   |

@southerncross don't blame him, nice looking copy. My black terror 1 came back a 4.5, from the picture his looks nicer. Congrats on that honey hole.  |

| A few more goodies arrived today. Childhood memories:   And because I'm a huge video game fan:  It's in worse condition than I thought so I imagine the grade isn't going to be great. I'll probably pick up a higher grade copy later but for now, I'm happy to have it.  |

Thank you @zdoes10 for the amazing books, including an unexpected signature. I've always been a fan of Lady Death but sold my only comics a couple years ago.  |

These X-Men are not new to my collection as a matter of fact #95 was the very first X-Men comic book I bought as a kid. The other 3 were the next three I bought from a drug store. I could not afford every comic that came out, that’s why there are gaps. What is new to my collection are the Chris Claremont signatures. I know some don’t dig them but I do and meeting him was quite the experience as he is very kind and loves telling stories about the comics he worked on.     |

These are new to my collection without caveats. I’ve been after this Spider-man 59 for quite a while and am happy to have found it at a good price.  This Wonder Woman 199 has been on my list since I first saw it here on the forum. I got it For a fantastic price, super happy.  |

| @sportshort Those 4 X-men covers, 95-100, represent a good chunk of my collecting desires when I was a kid in the 80's. | ||

Quote:Originally Posted by EbayMafia Since I had to find them yesterday to have them signed today, now I know that I never purchased 96 & 98. That will give me a direction as to what to purchase next. P.S. from looking at them again I realized that they could really use a clean and press. What can I say, I was a kid. |
