Funnily enough, I know that Overstreet lists Longshot much higher than CPG does. I had duplicates of the entire series, so I decided to sell them as a whole series for $25 in high grade (9.2 give or take) as a compromise price.. They sold before the show even opened. I mean, I was still setting up my table when another dealer came by and bought them. So... yeah... definitely primed to go up.

That's awesome Doug, There's not much Longshot Australian eBay.
CPG has them at $4 each, What does Overstreet have them at Doug?
I know there are a million & 1 copies of them out there but most i've seen over the years are in terrible shape.
I only have one NM set, Had an extra $30 bucks about a year & half ago. I asked a reg. seller what he had for that price...after some not so fun choices i gave up & just then he said Longshot...after a pause i said o.k. i'll take it.
Even he noted they getting harder to find in NM now.

Overstreet has #1 at $30 in NM and the rest at $15. So, big discrepancy. Not sure who's closer, but if someone wants to pay me $30 for #1, I am happy to take it. My big worry was that someone would go and buy #1 only and the rest of the series wouldn't sell. There are indeed a ton of almost everything X-Men out there, so I'm always a bit worried when I see such a price discrepancy. Seems like dealers want them if they don't have them, but don't want to get caught holding a ton of copies.

I'm guessing I lucked out in finding 2 complete sets of the mini-series in recent collection buys, if your experience is anything to go by.

Went to LCS yesterday. 3 books for $150.

Batman #153 - Feb 1963. Pre-yellow oval Bat-woman cover.



#155 - May '63. First Silver Age Penguin



And #163 from '64. Super sweet Joker court room cover.


Not high grade, but nice enough for me.
all 3 for less than half the cost of a 1st Deadpool.

Here are a couple of cool Detective comics I picked up a
while ago.


I overpaid for these, but that does not make them any less
cool.


Here’s the way comics used to grab your attention back in
the day – without sex or violence! Imagine that!


Nobody
Leaves!





Okay, there was violence, - but it took place previously and
not shown.


(Yeah, offstage like in Shakespeare! Anyone ever heard of
that guy? Anyone but me know their classics?
Anyone at all ??? Anyway, he a was pretty good writer…)


There is a backup story of Jason
Bard, hardboiled detective.


(Not to be confused with all the
detective shows on TV at the time. Riiiiggghhht )


Here’s another one…





Careful Batman that guy (or girl?) in the mist might be
looking to do you harm!


Anyway enjoy, and leave your comment here….

I certainly hope you have never given that store owner any of your business since then. Wow! Presenting a coverless comic as a printing error and charging you full price for it was petty at best.

Nice books! I just got that FF for my collection with tattoo still in. I'm also a huge Gambit fan, so I love that X-men cover as well.

G'day fellow collectors, Well after the demise of our first forum (took me two years to build a back issues thread Lol).
But it's all good now & i'm happy to start anew!

So here we go...Enjoy.

Ghost Rider #15, Vol.3. July 1991. One of my favorite covers.



DC Comics Super Heroes, NM. 1989, 5th printing give'a'way.

Nice comics -
I especially like the Ghost Rider #15 - You forgot to mention it glows in the
dark!!! Oooooohhhh!!!
So that's how the heroes stay fit - The Good Health Activity book. (...insinuating you can be
a hero too if you eat your broccoli)

Hello - hope you all are well.
Unsolicited suggestion - loks of new folks rencently asking about find comics on CPG - apparently going by the glossy title on the cover instead of the publication data. Any chance of reviving / re-creating the Forum topic on how to find the real title of a comic in the indica?
