  1. I think I need to hang out where you are hanging. Somewhere in the midwest?
  2. Awesome purchase! A steal of a deal. Tumbler's are pricey.
  3. Got myself an Our Army at War #96 today at a Manhattan flea market. It looks like a 5.5 or 6. Cost me $10.
  4. You can tell that story as many times as you like. (thumbs u
  5. There's gotta be more flea market tales out there folks. Success stories are what keep us going!
  6. I stumbled upon a street sale on the upper west side of Manhattan last Fall. I am always on the look out for comics. Usually I'll come across a bunch of modern drek. This time I hit a vein of silver age stuff. The guy was asking a buck a book. I ended up with a pretty good ASM run 60-80 in fine condition, as well as a bunch of Dare Devil and Capt. America. Not too shabby!!!
  7. This is an AWESOME thread!!!!!!! Please keep these stories coming. It gives us treasure hunters hope!
  8. Thanks for the heads-up, count me in on the mercy bidding (thumbs u I will definitely be keeping my eye on some of those books as well. Ditto!
  9. Any chance you'll move some of your books here first? (hint-hint)
  10. Amen Brother. I am still searching little old ladies attics for that HOS #92 9.8!
  11. if your lady finds out, you should tell her "ya but look at that near-perfect centering, that's rare for this book" Send me your email. I'll let you explain it to her.
  12. I think that every single time....... Worse yet, If she ever found out what i paid for it...
  13. If my lady ever finds out I just bought this...
  14. 130 pages? Holy Cow!!! I quite reading at 40 something. Lucky me. I don't know if it was brought up in pages 40-129 or not, but, is it possible that the Avengers #57 in question could have somehow been cloned?
  15. Awesome room! Where exactly do you live? (hehehehe)
  16. Hello, Is there any of us Bronze age horror guys left??? Did we lose interest/momentum with the down turn in value? On the bright side, I can buy my beloved DC Horror books for a song.
  17. Unfortunately, previous owner had some restoration done to it.
  18. Ditto! I have become a high grade comic snob. Sure I'll buy mid grade on key books, but I am always searching for the fix of a higher grade copy to shoot into the big vein of my habit.
  19. She's a beauty1 Gotta wipe the drool off of my chin on that one. I always loved that cover.
