I decided to take a spin to my three fave comic stores around me (within an hour or so around me) the other day.  
I feel I’m on a slight trend of Space-Westerns due to loving the Mandalorian 😂 and yes I’ve been binging Bond flicks lately 😊
 
 

 
 
 
 
 

Managed to snag a couple from the pedigree auctions - wasn't able to pickup some of the low census issues as my savings could only stretch so far!
Waiting on delivery still but did the #62 on auction. I hadn't got a SS volume 1 issue with Peter's signature so very happy with that one 😁

Recently found these in my father's attic.

The one book that surprised me was the #3 Variant.  It went for $10k plus and I thought at the end the two or three people were going to continue higher bids after my stop around 8750. ... search is on.  Seemed very high for final price.  

upgrade grabbed.

Finally got this back from cgc!

Yes sir! I'm just happy he didn't put it in the middle.

What weighs more?  A TMNT #16 cgc 9.8 or a stack of gold coins?  Guess we are about to find out.

It took a little while but finally got my DD 1-7 run all uniform in CGC 7.5 OW/W or WHITE...

A couple other contributions for the MMMS amongst the DD wares:
 

Yep quoting myself here, because upon going to Chi-Town Comic Con this evening...I have possibly been undervaluing this book…very much so. 
There was quite a bit of talk about 9.8 #1s and specifically CC’s 9.8 Nov auction book. I talked to handful of gents who have no doubts that book will reach $200,000+. Couple legit hombres who said they’d pay whatever it takes for one. So now I’m really gonna be as I watch the auction and possibly eating a crapp load of crow upon hammer price. 

PS     
If any Turtle guys n gals are going to the con, make sure to check out “Red Hood Comics” booth. Rob is a helluva nice guy, with a shiat load of TMNT books. Like….a whole wall of em  Never seen so many slabbed TMNT books at a booth! I had so much fun talking to him that I didn’t take a single pic. I know, I know - this post sucks without pics, I’m sorry everyone - totally my bad 
 
 

exceeded the speed limit this morning, ran a light and I am sure I failed to come to a complete stop at several intersections so pretty much a typical day
