I sold a ton of books while Alan was away on vacation last week. And they've had a collector fly in and leave with 4 short boxes of books full. Yea, there were a number of books that I was hoping to see but never saw. It's possible that Alan got copies but they sold quickly or maybe that Mark just never had them to bring in. I was able to get really nice copies of Adventure Comics #432-436 (Spectre issues) but I never saw #431 or #437 through #440. I never saw a Swamp Thing #1. ☹️ And it would been have been nice to see more Phantom Strangers and Teen Titans. Still, it was a helluva run while it lasted, that's for sure.

@DWeeB1967

I got a 433 so there must have been 2 copies of that.

There were no Swamp Thing 1 in the collection. Not a single issue which was strange.

Not sure about the teen titans.
The phantom strangers, Witching hours and Spidey super stories u kind of grabbed them as they were mostly single copy issues.
Even those I didn't get all of them as copies were sold before I could see them.

There were a few books that sold the day they would come into the store.
A couple of regulars would turn up every Thursday.

I missed out seeing half a dozen mid grade timely golden age.
Spideys including 129 that was a single copy.

The Batman 241 and other books.
There was only a couple of issues of House of secrets and no 92.
No Hulk 181, 182 but there was a Hulk 180 that came and went.
I think 3 copies of New Gods 1 for some reason.

Very strange yet unique collection.

	WOW!! SWEET!!! I'm hoping for 9.8's on both. That Demon #1 9.8 should bring in a nice chunk of change too.

That’s the problem. They’re all high grade

	Absolutely, @southerncross. Very strange collection. As I (and others) have said before, thanks to you for turning us on to this collection. It was lots of fun. I spent way too much money but got some really nice books.

	I've only graded 6 books that I bought from this collection (out of maybe 30). My two Hero for Hire #1s came back really nice: 9.8 and 9.6. I already traded away the 9.6. My two Demon #1s came back as a 9.8 and a 9.2. I'm considering auctioning the 9.8 since it has a pretty obvious miswrap. My two Kamandi #1s came back 9.8 and 8.0.

Unfortunately I never saw a issue 1, there was a issue 1 from Witching hour. And early on there was two copies of this issue which I bought both. The condition of these two books look so sweet.
