All that comes to mind for me is also Batman Adventures #12. At the time my LCS was giving me between 30% and 40% off from cover price, so I either paid 75 or 88 cents for it.

I pretty much bought every DC comic from the mid-80's until my LCS closed in 1998 so I'll have to check and see if any issues shot up in value.I didn't buy a whole lot of Marvels so I'll have to dig through my boxes, but I don't think I have NM 98 or ASM 300.

For TMNT I was a year or two late and missed the first printing of number one, but I do have many of what were published after 1984, along with many other independent comics.

You'll have to do a little better than that...I was offered a
$100.00 for it back in 1980.

I have a few books that I bought in the 90's that are worth substantially more that what I paid for them. The few books below were purchased for .20 each.













I also picked up 4 copies of Preacher #1 at a garage sale. The seller stated her brother owned a comic book store, that closed down, and had his boxes stored at his mom's home. The seller told the brother the boxes were taking up too much space at the mom's house and asked if she could sell some of his books. The brother told her she could as long as she didn't tell her what she sold and the price. There were about 4 boxes of 90's books for 4/$1. The Preachers were overlooked since everyone was looking for books with Deadpool appearances.

I got the 4 graded and it came back with 2 CGC 9.8, 1 CGC 9.6, and a CGC 9.4.

As a child of the 80s and 90s majority of my collection is drek.

My spawn #1 black and white I bought for cover price is doing OK though.

Here are a couple more books that I think I did well with. The MSH#13 was purchased about three years ago when the Captain Marvel hype was just picking up. I purchased it for, I believe, $40. It looks to be in very nice shape (at least 8.5+).




The second book I bought back in the 90's. Even back then this book was an "expensive" book for me, but when I saw the $40 price sticker, I jumped at the deal. I thought this book would have graded higher, but the back cover had some jagged cuts on the top edge.

They're definitely getting harder to find for a good price, but they do pop up from time to time.

I think this one could be a close second to my SPIRIT #22.

Found this at a local antique shop. Have yet to send it in for grading, so idk what to expect on it. Paid $6.




Note: This isn’t a scan of my copy. Pulled this pic from comicbookrealm.com.

I paid $20 for this guy some time ago. The signature was free




I bought this guy for like $68 raw. Probably one of my favorite covers of all time. I’m sure it’s cooled off a bit since people realized Suicide Squad was awful




$150 Raw a bit before the Netflix shows started airing
