Local honey hole got a new collection in. I got there one hour after opening. Just in time to see some local guy spend $20k+. It was impressive. So far it was a lot of ASM, TOS, and Avengers stuff. A few early Hulks and some other assorted goodness. Here were the rags I bought. I restrained myself fairly well today. A couple were upgrades to the books currently in my collections, and a few of these will go off for grading.          |

| Meant to start a signed Crisis Perez run before he even got sick. Then he got sick. I got all except issues 5 and 6 and he passed. 5 and 6 weren't showing up at all while he was ill. Then after he passed they did. What were on average $50 books went to $350 and I was out. I scoured EBay and this listing was buried. All for under $300. What choice did I have? I will likely try to list the issues I gathered and see if I can get some money back on those. I just felt 5 and 6 weren't going to show and if they did, they will be expensive now  |

In reality, he kept me from spending five digits in there. Here are some of the pics I took. They're kinda crap but you get the idea of what was there.        |

Just got these in today. I really wanted an older comic to add to my collection and I was interested in the Marvel Family. This comic hit all the right buttons and it’s from 1945, so Awesome.  |

Staying with the Marvel Family theme, I picked this up at a bargain because of the Purple Label (small amount of resto). 1947 publication makes this book Neat!  |

| @sportshort Whiz Comics is becoming one of my favorite Golden Age titles to accumulate that's still relatively affordable. Not sure if it will remain under the radar after Black Adam and Shazam 2. | ||

 I won another raffle over on IG ...I probably gotta stop, because I've hit a couple now and I know that's not the norm...but I hit a few in the last 4 months For example- I also won these last week  ...I already parlayed that asm 4 into a trade with a couple other books to get somethings I've been wanting...I should have more goodies in hand next week |

| Finally got one of these! Each copy was custom made and unique. You mailed in an order form that asked things like gender, your name, hometown, and a friend or loved one’s name and they are used throughout the book. Back then, just like today, if not more so, comic fans tended to skew more male so versions featuring the female Captain Universe are harder to come by  |
