After walking through half the city carrying it in my arms, I confirm it's not an easy transport.

On the plus, good training for holding the baby.

Nice! Just curious, but what'd you have to pay for those?

wolf_2099 · Post by **wolf_2099** » Sat Jan 15, 2011 4:34 am

ASM 121, 122 and 129 cost me $250 all in, all in VF condition.

Fuck, $250 for 3 comics, that's a real investment.

However:

Death of Gwen Stacy
Death of Green Goblin
First Appearance of the Punisher

That Punisher comic at shows is normally $250.

Speaking of which, how much did that giant ass book cost?

I could also compare the cost to the freakishly expensive absolute editions, too. But, you buy what you like.

Hadn't realized it was those issues. Now to get them signed by Stan Lee!!
I wasn't being negative about the cost, just being overwhelmed.
The giant book was 140€, half of which I paid with a gift card I had gotten at work.

In the mail:

Daredevil Ultimate collection 3
Punisher MAX, vol. 2, 4, 5, 6, 9, 10

Also, from my LCS: The New York Four.
Good to see this before The NY5 comes out, I had no idea that was a sequel to anything.

Also, the price for those 3 Spidey issues is amazing. I wouldn't have thought any of those issues would go for less than $250, to be honest.

The 121 and 122 are about $200, and the 129 is is $250 or so.

A work aquantince of my mom is getting divorced and being forced to sell, which is all kind of shitty for him, but my mom managed to snake me those 3 key issues off my list of wants for a deal, since he knew I would love the comics, instead of a dealer just re-selling them.

Apparently he had a Hulk 181 too, but a guy offered him really good money for it since it was NM.

He's been the only owner of them all. Pretty damn lucky.

Also, Arn, good lord that is an expensive book, have you read it?

Fuck! It's volume 2, which I indeed apparently ordered. And already had.

Read it? Have you seen the size of it? Ask me again in 10 years!

Seriously, I have yet to crack it open.

The majority of the John Francis Moore run where they leave Cable and head out on their own, which I've always wanted to get to read.

Gorgeous art by Adam Pollina.

Indeed, and I got it all for working at the shop on Saturday while the owner went to an auction.
