One can only hope...

I am thinking, although not really, about purging a lot of crap from it though.

But.... that's a Silver Age Comic....

Bahaha.

Superman 1 then?

Pretty sure if you ever wind up with either the rest of us will simply just be in awe for years.

Flea Market 50 Cent bins this weekend got me:
Earth X 2-12 & X
Inhumans (Jenkins and Lee run, wanted to read it after reading the Sentry years ago) 3, 5-12
Avengers Forever 1, 2, 9-12
Punisher 1 (Ennis 12 Issue run)
ASM 430 431 (Solver Surfer Carnage issue)

From my back issue dude
Rawhide Kid 32 - 1 month before Kirby and Lee did Amaz. Fant. 15. Neat issue.

Dollar bin stuff from last weekend, too:
Astro City Vol 2 Image 1
Astro City Vol 2 Image 4
Automatic Kafka Wildstorm 5
Astro City: Astra Wildstorm 1
Astro City: Astra Wildstorm 2
Astor City: The Dark Ages Book 1 Wildstorm 4
Astor City: The Dark Ages Book 3 Wildstorm 4
Hellblazer Special: Papa Midnite Vertigo 5
Incredible Hulk Vol 1 Marvel 457

Then today I scored big time. A local comic book store buys old comics, and never really goes through them except to pull out good silver age marvel and DC's, so you can find some golden stuff in there. Today though, he bought some Wolverines, ASM, Cap. A, and She-Hulks.

He cherry picked some ASM, and Wolverine 1, 10 and the first mini, but missed ASM 300, since it was bundled with the she-hulks.

So I found the old Wolverine VS Spider-Man (great comic) and a copy of amazing spider-man.

Price for both of them? $2 Canadian. So like, half a euro. WOOHOO!

Welcome to Tranquility 1-12, bundled together for all of $8. Not a bad deal. The shop down here is starting to put out collections of runs on books, with the actual issues of particular stories and things when they get them. I'm a few weeks away from nabing JLA: Another Nail for $10

I don't understand why more stores don't do that to clear out more stock.

Sell a few series at less than trade prices to clean out stock ot stories that wouldn't normally sell, seems like an easy idea to me.

It's a great idea, I agree. I love being able to get actual issues of some books rather than only getting trades, but hate it when they usually lack one or two issues. So when you have a full run, bundling them and selling them for a cheaper price is a great way to move them, and a great introduction deal for new readers or people looking to expand their interest.

They have the most recent Firestorm bound up in a few packages like that, but one of them is 7-11 and like.. another in the mid 20s. So I'd love to get it, but without the first storyline I'm hesitant.

It's also great for event books as well. Last year sometime they put out these kind of collections for House of M, Infinite Crisis, GL: Rebirth, and a few others. They sold higher, but they sold quick. I love the idea.

Jesus, was there only one ASM #300 in that bin? Cause that's what they just published on Bleeding Cool :

7. Amazing Spider-Man #300 by David Michelenie and Todd McFarlane, Marvel Is this a waning of Todd popularity? Or Venom’s? Original price $1.50 Current market price $75. This was $119 in February, a significant drop.

Quite the investment you've just done.

wolf_2099 · Post by **wolf_2099** » Thu May 13, 2010 1:09 pm

Fuck, even if I were to only sell it for $20, that's still a huge profit.

wolf_2099 · Post by **wolf_2099** » Sun May 16, 2010 11:00 pm

So, I visited that guy with the 50 cent stuff again, and a got a whack of stuff I won't bother posting, buy holy shit, it's been so long since I've seen 50 cent comics, I love it.

Half Price is having a 20% off sale, which I had no clue but found awesome. I went to tell Cap'n Jack about a Topsy Turvy Tomato Tree thing that's on sale for all his tomato plants and was surprised to see the huge sale. The automatic jewel I found was the 4 volume complete Onslaught Saga, each book just $15 before the extra 20% off. When I found Cap'n Jack to tell him about the stuff he told me to let him get the books so he can use his employee discount, so I got all the books for $30! What's ironic is that he had just paid me $30 for his share of the electric bill last month and I forgot to grab it when I went shopping (not a big fan of cash). Worked out perfectly, found it pretty funny.

Teen Titans vol 4. The Future is Now
Justice Society of America #23 (current run)

my old Titans trade fell apart as I read it, probably due to too many reads or something else, so I had to get a new one, and that completes my Johns run on the current JSA title with the Black Adam kick off issue.
