| Just have to share this with some people who will appreciate it! So I'm a sucker sometimes, I admit. I will bid on online auctions without really knowing the full contents and condition of the comics in the lots. I usually can see some nice books, so I'm not flying totally blind, but then again, the books can look better in a picture than in person (missing backs, coupons, centerpages, etc). So I just bought 2 lots, mostly because I saw some nice early Justice League of Americas and Journey into Mystery, as well as some early Defenders (what with the show coming up, why not?). Won them, get them - and the JIM are a bit rough, but JLA's are nice (including #7).  Also found it nice there were some early Captain Marvels, and then here are some of the other nice books.  There's a New Mutants 87, but gold and in rough shape, and then the rest of the comics aren't so great - was hoping for some other Silver age books (there are a few, but nothing spectacular) when I come across this nice issue:  I'm thinking, ok, thats nice. But still not so excited about my purchase. Then this issue pops up out of no where!  Solid 6.5, maybe better. Suddenly I'm very happy with my purchase . . . It doesn't happen all the time, and usually don't get such a big surprise, but this made my day. Thanks for reading! |

| @CaptainCanuck no, I usually troll online sites that show brick and mortar auction house listings - get some interesting groups that way. I will be listing most of these (except Iron Man 55, which I will send for grading at some point) so if anyone wants to make a reasonable offer I will entertain it - my eBay name is the same as my screen name here (Qua-Brot) so you can see if I am trustworthy (or not) by that. |

| Quite a score indeed! Rare in this day and age where anyone can learn the value of anything with a few keystrokes. Seems someone didn't do their homework! Congrats! | ||

| @CaptainCanuck they didn't do their homework - auction total for 3 lots (one unrelated to comics) plus premiums plus shipping was much less than the value of Iron Man 55 in 6.0 alone. | ||
