So, I finally got a hold of the bags and boards I needed (well, a portion of, anyway...). That means I'm currently going through the more recent pick ups and getting them sorted into the new collection. I keep new pick ups separate until after they have new bags and boards. I'm weird that way, I guess. Anyway, I've already shown off a bunch of the ones I got, so check them out in the posts I put up last year for... oh yeah...



I collected every Superman title there was for a few years there. I can't claim that all of them were good, but there were classic stories like this one. Bought it new, so I paid cover price. Well, a bit less, since it was $5 after the store discount was factored in. I've been getting a few decent Silver and Bronze Age Action Comics in the recent collection buys, but let's face it, those are often more notable for the ridiculous covers.



This one's a bit worse for wear, but I keep finding Adventure Comics in my bulk buys. And when you are getting stuff like this for $0.86, you can't really complain.



I recall saying that I bought a collection for $1900. If not, I bought a collection for $1900. This was in the box of "stuff I'll throw in just to get rid of." The guy was all about Marvel (seriously, he collected a bunch of Marvel titles starting at the end of 1978 or so, ending in about 1984. Good stuff, too. X-Men, Daredevil, Iron Man, ROM... I'll be showing a bunch of those off when I get to them). After all was said and done and I had everything cataloged, I had paid about 45 cents on the dollar for everything. This issue was about $16.



So, before I bought that $1900 collection, I realized I needed to start getting serious about selling my duplicates. And if I was going to pay 45% of their graded value, I couldn't just bring them down to my LCS. As such, I started getting a table at the local cons. Which is a tad awkward since the dealer who runs the major local con was supposed to have the ability to price match on that collection. He didn't get it. Anyway, that dealer ended up buying some of my duplicates (a bunch of which were in the aforementioned collection) and gave me a nice deal on the whole set of Batman Year One original issues. All four for $40 in 9.2-9.6.



And from recent bulk buys I've been cobbling together a pretty solid collection of post-Crisis Batman. I've had a pretty solid collection for a while, but now the #400-500 range is almost complete. There's a guy I've bought a few bulk boxes off. He does bulk buys, too, but he'll do it to get a few issues and then sell the rest. The whole death of Jason Todd story (along with some other good Batman issues) were in the collection. The collection that I got for $0.36 an issue. Not too bad.

Anyway, at this point, I'm starting with my boxes of DC. I'm part way through Batman. I'll be showing off the best finds as I go. There are some good ones.

Super lame disney. I can understand maybe buying up the publishing rights to keep them from being printed, but to destroy them, that's just evil!

I can't image the "New Adventures Of Jango Fett" sitting in the disney vault next to Aladin part 12: the many feathers of iago.

l.a.m.e.

Wow. Collect them over time or did you buy in bulk?

I think a plastic box would be nice. I think having a couple desiccant packs in each box would certainly help with the moisture. I am especially pro plastic box ever since my stupid dog decided he needed to mark one of my boxes as his territory. Luckily I keep all of my comics bagged and the pee didn't soak all the way through or else that dog would find himself with a new owner right now.

Got my grades today: 9.8, 9.6, 9.6, 9.6, 9.4

You mean this book! I too could not find it listed or anything.
It needs to be added in the proper manor. If you don't mind i'll put in for you.

That is a new series starting with the subtitle "Dragons". Mine is a one-shot graphic novel published in 2013 just titled "Jim Henson's The StoryTeller with a cover price of $14.95 US. It has a cover of the old "storyteller" and his dog from the short lived tv series.

I would like to know how you got the picture though! I tried 3 times and it never worked.

I enjoy astronomy, fishing, walking, movies and of course comics. My old name here was head-rush.

I have this comic and I can't seem to find it listed.

Thanks Tex and Crow! Here is another teaser for you:
