Picked up about 70 comics for $1 each at the thrift store that normally doesn't have anything - they got in 3 tubs of comics from someone named Caleb - thanks Caleb!

An interview with Jim Lee on the current situation - https://www.hollywoodreporter.com/heat-vision/dcs-jim-lee-companys-future-we-are-still-business-publishing-comics-1307413 Interesting quote at the end - We’ll take the most successful books and repackage it as physical books .I think there is definitely business to be had in physical periodicals. But that said, I think there’s greater upside in digital because we can go to a more global audiences and the barrier to entry, especially in this pandemic, is lower. It’s a lot easier to get digital content into the hands of consumers that want to read stories. We want to lean into that and think thoughtfully what digital content should be, what it should look like, the format.

First flea market in 3 months - was it worth the risk? Well, I did find this for $10, so I guess so found these as well - not as well priced, but happy to get them Also found this “sculpture” that appears made of play doh that I couldn’t pass up Overall, glad to be back to the hunt!

Local pickup - paid a little less than $1.50 a book. Nice run of Tec 544-658 (missing the 4 Year 2 books) and Batman 443 - 487. Most appear to be high grade.

I bought 7 comics from Srezvan - shipped quickly and well packed

take

I'll take the Battlefront 39, Navy Action 7, and Marvel Tales 134

They just announced ECCC has been postponed until summer https://www.emeraldcitycomiccon.com/About/A-Statement-From-Reedpop/?utm_source=cmv3-attendee-all&utm_campaign=Postponed-03-12-2020&utm_medium=social&utm_term=P

My guess is they are waiting for the local government to officially shut them down so they can make an insurance claim (voluntary shutdown likely prevents them from making a claim).

Yup - that was it (hope I didn’t leave behind a good one)

Took a bit of a gamble on these, as TMNT books aren’t really my thing and I don’t know how to tell reprints from originals - guy said he bought them off the stand in the ‘80s, read them once then put them away. I said fine at about $13 each. The #1 he had was marked a reprint (not a later printing) so I left it behind. This is from inside the #2, where it would usually say second printing, so I think it’s ok.

All this for $20 - knew it was going to be a good score when he said $2 for the Tarzan book

Take JIM 71, 75, 77 Thanks.

Got a small stack of books today. Highlights were the Tec below - although I was apparently late to the party, as the dealer said someone had just bought a bunch from him Then the find of the day was this - was looking through the guys small stack of 70s Archies when he says “I have Archie #1 over here for $40 - you interested?” He had my attention - not what I was hoping for, but still very happy with the purchase.

Great morning for hunting comics - came home with a nice little stack, including a few wonderful Golden Age beaters purchased from our very own Robot Man. Best of the bunch were the 3 purchased below - guy was getting rid of his comics 3 for $5. Found the More Trash from Mad #1 from another vendor - was in great shape and had the insert, very cheaply priced.

Good morning at the flea market Paid $30 for all of these Paid $2 for this one Not comics related, but picked this up for $15 - very nice toy display sign (included the original shipping box, mounting bracket, and instructions!)

Grabbed these for $30 at the flea market on Sunday. Highlights were Batman 85 and 92 (first Ace the Bat Hound - no back cover, but not complaining for the price 😎)

I went to it (along with the PCC flea market). Great local show - you should definitely get a table for the September show - I think you would do really well. I bought a ton of dollar books (including 6 copies of a Spidey 431 that I saw for sale at the next booth over for $30) and splurged (for me) on a beat but complete Detective 127 (half priced down to $50). Was a little bummed since they normally give you a coupon for a free slice of pizza at the adjoining Italian restaurant - but, sadly, was informed on the way in that the restaurant is no more

Yesterday's haul - all this for $30 Highlights include mini-runs of Bomba, Inferior Five, and House of Mystery(including 160), a couple of Suzies, an old Archie, and Four Color 328. Most were well read, but for the price I ain't complaining

Thanks - I hope you feel better soon so you can get some more great scores

Pasadena City College (which I know is usually your neck of the woods - glad you left some for the rest of us )

It was cold and miserable this morning - but I'm glad I headed out to the flea market These were $3 each Oh yeah, these two were also $3 each from the same vendor These were $40 total from two different vendors And finally, I couldn't pass this up for $3, even though it doesn't have any of the prints All in all, a good day at the flea market.

PIcked up this lot for $50 total this morning at the flea market

Just picked these 3 up as part of a small GA pickup - definitely top 3 of the year

Hit a bunch of garage sales this morning - bought these from 2 different sales, all $1 each
