a brief intro about my comic collecting history:
Read my first comic, ASM #173, in either 1978 or 1979. Didn't start collecting until about 1986. Bought a lot of new books up until 1994. Then I pretty much stopped, and was only buying a few indie titles. Sold about 1/2 of my books(about 4 or 5 long boxes) in 1998. They were all low value books. Started going through my books in about 2008, and that reignited the collecting bug. Since about 2014, it's been pretty off and on. Lately it's been pretty on. I passed the 10,000 mark last month. I'm mainly interested in books from the late 1960s to late 1970s, but I'll pretty much buy anything that strikes my fancy.
I sell a lot of books out of a resale/consignment store that my parents own. Currently, I have over 3,000 books there. I have a few regulars that come by every so often. Occasionally, I drive down to Austin and sell at various events.
I do all of my grading at the store whenever I'm working a shift. There's no scanner there, so I won't be doing much scanning like I did on the old site. I will be posting group pics every so often. I usually wait until I have a few hundred books to file away, so I can take quick pics while I'm sorting them.

Damn Robo!
Nice Man-wolf (i have a few of those but not the full run, Need a couple more) & they are good reading too, Lots of fun!
Don't know much about Ghost seen a few here & there.
Oh! you have that Aliens VS Predator cover, It is a sweet book to have. Highly under appreciated.
I had a heap of Turok & Magnus books but they are all long gone now (gave them away in the late 90's Lol).

I got The Man from U.N.C.L.E. #5 at a comic convention in 2014. The others I won as a lot in 2014 for $25.05.
MAN FROM U.N.C.L.E. 3 VG+ | MAN FROM U.N.C.L.E. 4 VG+ | MAN FROM U.N.C.L.E. 5 VG+ ($8.00)
MAN FROM U.N.C.L.E. 7 VG+ | MAN FROM U.N.C.L.E. 8 FN | MAN FROM U.N.C.L.E. 10 VG+
"Man from Uncle" comics for about $5 each - I'd hit that. Very cool.
Also like you Amazing Spider-Man comic.
On the minus side - I have a number of Atlas -Seaboard comic myself - including Iron Jaw.
Just does not seem to be much value in these.

P. S. Check out my forum thread for my comic pics...shameless plug...

Here's 8 of 9 books, I picked up for $10.32. (Ninth was Chips and Vanilla #1 - already had a copy).
They're mostly in the FN range with the exception of Xenozoic Tales (VF) and Blue Loco (NM-), but I mostly just got them for reading, so condition wasn't much of concern when I bid, especially with the purchase price being just $1.15 each.
more pics to come...
Them some crazy looking books Robo.

Those 80s indy horror comics are great reads. Someday they'll be rediscovered and shoot up in value.
non-code color comics. Complete stories in one issue.
Xen. Tales has some wonderful art.
