I'm training a friend of mine in comic picking as he has a newfound love for collecting and doesn't have the knowledge on condition and valuation. So far I've trained him well as over the last few months hunting Craigslist and garage sales he's found....
Daredevil 1 coverless
Turtles 1 2nd print
Batman adventures 12 x 2
Strange Tales 178-181 (178 off to CGC)
Secret wars 8 x 3
Detective 1st talia issue
A small higher grade Bronze Age OO collection
Multiple bronze and copper key issues and numerous decent SA books.
Treasuries, trades, etc.
Probably 1000 comics at about .20c each in his search.
So far no ASM 121,122,129, hulk 180-182 or GSX1,94, or WWBK 32 but I'm expecting he will dredge some up with his luck. I wouldn't even be surprised if he finds a SA major key within 6 months....we will see. He did score that DD1 for $1.
