Some highlights from yesterday's garage sales - ad said "Simpsons, Uncle Scrooge, and Batman comics" - And this one Definitely a copy a kid read - probably a 6.0 (that's just glare on the right edge) - but for the price, I'm not complaining. Had to sweat it out though, since he said he wanted to keep a few for sentimental reasons. When he got to the BA12, I held my breath, but he just kept on flipping along - he did pull out the Batman Adventures 1 and a few others, which was fine by me.

$25 garage sale pick up - nice selection of sketch books from about 15 years ago when the guy attended SDCC. Unfortunately, he was holding onto his comics.

Unfortunately - no glasses - just these thrown in But, the guy did throw in a vintage Rocketeer shirt, and a large size promo card for the 1994 Marvel cartoon series

Craigslist pickup - nice Dave Stevens/Rocketeer lot, and some Marvel mini series runs.

$20 garage sale pick up

This morning's garage sale haul Also purchased this interesting piece of art for a fair price

$50 on OfferUp - a little toasty, but I couldn't drive to the guy's place fast enough to pick it up

Flea market pick-ups - comics were 50 cents each, magazines were $2

Tony Fleecs was signing at my LCS, and did this sketch for my sister of her dog

Not much of a story - it was sitting in the front of a short box at one of the vendors booths - I made a beeline for it and grabbed it (and began furiously looking for #2). Nothing else of note in his three other boxes (I picked 3 other junkie books just to make it $1 ) The funny part is there was a comic book dealer already in the booth looking around when I got there - I was shocked he didn't see it since it was right in front, plain as day, but didn't ask any questions.

25 cents well spent at the flea market

All from the same garage sale - I think the second one is an internal DC style guide. The third one was the big surprise - when I got home and took a closer look, it turned out to be a Jim Lee signed giclee print limited to 150 - not bad for $2!

The ad said the garage sale would be on Sunday, but you could stop by Saturday afternoon when they would be setting up - glad I did. It was a girl's collection from the late 60s, early 70s, about 350 comics overall, so mostly Archies and Harveys, but about 30 DC romance comics, a few oddball titles, couple of Wonder Womans, a coverless Spiderman 29, a stack of Mads, and the Strange Tales 70 was a very nice bonus.

Highlights from a small stack of $1 finds at the thrift store today

I assume you are talking about this sale? Do you know how much they went for? I assumed this one would be a sleep over affair to get them.

Busy day at the flea market with lots of finds First up were these 3 for $5 each Next, I bought a bunch of Star Wars Dark Horse books - nothing too great, but the guy gave me 40% off sticker price, so I was happy Some random books I picked up along the way - the DC Comics editorial presentation was interesting These were really interesting - Mexican printings of Classics Illustrated from the early 80s - I loved the cover art on these And right before I left, I ran into a vendor with 2 long boxes of $1 books - here are some of the highlights Honorable mention to this first edition (but not true first printing) of the first Peanuts strip compilation book for $5 - has bone white pages And this $15 piece which looks like an illustration of Robert Redford from the 70s - but I can't make out the name of the artist All in all, a good day to go out hunting!

Nope - wasn't there. But, completely unrelatedly, he had the complete Epic/Marvel run of ElfQuest (1-32), so that was nice.

Yup - the deals are out there. Case in point - paid $30 for all of this yesterday - nothing too spectacular, but the books were in great condition, and you can't beat the price

Pickup from a Craigslist ad - about 200 comics, mostly Epic/Eclipse and other random mid to late 80s titles. I missed the best of the bunch when I was looking at the collection - but was pleasantly surprised to see the Raphael jammed into the right side of the box when I got home and took a closer look

$40 Craigslist purchase - about 85 books including 15 DC Universe logo books and 2 copies of Flaming Carrot 27

$3 Thrift store find- gotta always check inside those books...

Went back to the thrift store where a couple of months back I purchased a nice stack of comics that were once owned by someone named Caleb. They must’ve brought out another box of Caleb's books, because I bought another 20 or so today - mostly sketchbooks and indies circa 2007-2013, the highlight being Head Lopper 1 and 2 (self published version) - not bad for $20 all in.

Yup

Picked this up at an estate sale this morning- wasn’t cheap, but was able to bundle with lots of other stuff so that the total price for everything I purchased was very reasonable. The estate had literally tens of thousands of books - but very little in the way of comics (although it was day 3 of the sale). What’s interesting about this (to me) is that it appears to be a reviewer copy - but the bibliography is still cut out - although the classified ad inside said it was intact.

Craigslist find - 150 random Bronze Age books - 100 Marvel, 50 DC. Nothing too spectacular but the price was right
