I recently ran across a small collection for $500 which had Punisher 1-40, Star Wars 1-30, 50 Tomb of Dracula books, Moon Knight books, and other assorted goodies. It didn't have huge keys but they were in great shape and the price was right.

I was at my LCS picking up my books for the week and decided to check out the "wall books". These are the higher dollar, incentive or key books they showcase and typically list on eBay.
Wouldn't you know it, tucked up in the corner is the gem I've been looking for. 1st print. Amazing shape (at least 9.6, maybe even 9.8)! $35 sticker.
I just sort of stood and stared at it for a couple minutes thinking that there was no way I was that lucky.
But I really was. They had just put it out a couple days ago and didn't even have a chance to post it online yet.

So that's my little key book found story. I know, not very exciting for most. But it sure made my month.

Anyone else have any key / grail book find stories?]]> Fri, 28 Jan 2022 11:58:29 GMT
