phase 2 is now complete: with 428 purchased, I have 404-713 done. I started this mid April so it has happened fairly fast.
The next part will be getting the missing books from 300-399, which is currently sitting at 73 books to do that.
My plan was to have that done by the end of the year, though it may be longer than that.
 
 

so with this pickup over the weekend 1 book to go! just need 428 now, and hopefully that will be happening really soon!

with 426 and 429 now in, I only have 2 books to have 390-713 done. I need the other two death in the family books.

I went to a local show here in WV over the weekend. I picked up 36 books in the 300s for my batman run. 
I have 31 books left to get in that number block.

Of all the hughes covers wonder woman 184 is my favorite, which is why I decided to buy one again. should be coming in soon.

I didn’t realize this book was a NS until I was adding it to my digital inventory. Got this at the start of my vacation this week at coastal comics in SC.

I got this book in the mail today. I think there was a weird scan in the listing of an interior page that made buyers be cautious with it. I realized it was an artifact from scanning and thought the book overall looked really nice.

with regards to the back issue sign, there is a store near me that has covered their back issue boxes up and they are not for sale. Her reasoning is she feels she was losing out on too much money. Now here is the deal, she will never go through the inventory. I know for sure too as she had long boxes in the back not out for sale that hadn't been opened in like 30+ years. Best part they were part of a water leak and got damaged. There was a minty tomb of dracula 10 in one of them I know about. totally ruined.
If you aren't going to keep up with things, just move on or step up and do the hard work that needs done.

That's hilarious.  You find a book you want for $20, so you decide to buy it.  You take it up to the register and notice the price on the sticker going up.  You ask the cashier "WTH? The price was just $20 when I picked it up and it's $45 now!"  The cashier responds with "Yeah, that was like... 20 feet ago.  We have realtime pricing."  Disgusted, you take it back to the box it came from and you notice the price going down as you walk toward the box. lol.

Maybe she is hoping that they will dry out

So where he and myself live in WV, we are in a pretty low populated state, 1.76 million this year, down from last year.
because of that, places to buy comics here are somewhat sparse. There are local shows and 1 bigger con each year. The thing is the local dealers that set up at the small shows are aware of him and what I understand avoid him.
I would think if you are angering the local spots, shows and cons, your pool of potential sellers is small and shrinking, just like our population.

Yeah. The quote from the shop owner is in this thread actually
