Thanks to @ft88 I was able to add a Savage Tales #1 this week.

I have a few hobbies and have burnt out on all of them in the past, Comics for some reason have a different Nostalgia and I always am looking at adding something different, this year I focused on Magazines since everything else was going crazy. I think part of it is the span in which Comics played a part of my life. I collect toys but they had short windows whereas comics where something I collected at the same time as toys as kid but continued as a teen and adult when I certainly was not buying toys then. I sold a Massive Vintage Star Wars collection in 2008 that included several one of a kind Prototypes and every Carded figure made on the release cardback and each following release. When you are looking for a cardback due to which offer it has on it you have really stretched expanding the search. Due to fear of bubbles cracking or yellowing I decided to sell the entire collection in 08 and put the money in real estate. Selling those I had no regret, great return although if I had held the return would have been probably 25x. I did sell a ASM run, with 1-14 graded 5.0 better to buy a car I had always wanted about 3 years ago. At first I had no regrets but after a while I did regret selling it as that run has gotten completely crazy and I could still buy a Ferrari for just a little more than I bought mine for. I agree with others, based on what you own set aside some and sell off from the back end of the run. Maybe even sell off a full run and get a higher grade issue 1 or key and reduce the amount of total books you have.

Our Army at war 83. Also a very under rated silver age key.

Exactly, I have bought 3 of my bigger books in December each year. Also helps some of my incentive package pays out the first week of December.

@G.A.tor Rick when looking at books for sale.

Silverage for life. Except when you need GA bags and boards.

I noticed that as well, I was looking at adding an additional copy in that range last year thinking it would be good to have a second to trade or sale. Bought more APPL instead, right now that is proving to be the lesser return of the two.

Not surprised the comic selection and pricing was great as Heroes always impressed me, I am a little surprised about lack of attendance. If it was prior to Football season I would have certainly went but everything moving into the fall changes my availability. Hopefully as the conventions pick up next year and beyond they can shift back into Spring or Summer. Baltimore is now competing with the Cocktail party next year so I will be in Jacksonville that weekend.

I will take random comics you don’t need for 100. I did pick up some books I did need for my TTA and TOD runs but these were not on my radar (except Mask 1 and Droids 1). I don’t drink so I can’t use the “drunk bidding” story. And what makes someone want to send in the American Cancer society giveaway in that condition? I have been looking at adding the 80’s giveaway comics so I guess that one fits a need. If CL ever added the “ these books need a press” category all of them would fit.

Yes I have bought 5 of them over the years and they usually are missing something, not this one.

Had a Buddy who collects bmx bikes call from the basement of a guy he was buying from asking if he should pick up a Flagg the guy had. I told him I did not need a second one but would help him sell the ship and buy the box. The Flagg was 100% complete so I passed it on to another friend and bought the box.

I have off and on looked for one of those vending machines myself, I have never seen one some up for sale. I had even thought of finding another vending machine and have signage made for it or a slat wall set up peg hooks. I have some boxed toys that could sit on a basedeck type of deal. Thats awesome, I was buying the GI Joe issue 2 pack but after a few I stopped. I was trying to see how many different ones there were of GI Joe and try to get all of them.

Curious how many of you collect the multi packs from the 80's? They have always been something I would grab when I see them, but lately I have been trying to run down the not as common packs. For those with a focus on these, what has been the hardest to find? For me the G.I Joe pack with 25 was tough to find, it is not all that rare, but it and issue 24 are some of my favorites from that run so it I had always looked of it, you can find boxes full of the 2,26 and 27 before the 25 pack. I have noticed a few of the titles have went way up in price in the past year, Thundercats for example, those used to be pretty cheap. Also how do you guys display them? I have an upright rack I rotate normally 12-73 books but also do the mulipacks. Thanks Phillip

Hope it all works out.

You sir are not imagining. Others have pointed out as well.

My first was a mom and pop book store Fischers Books in Riverdale, GA. It was the first place I went to that had sections of comics, the smell of that place was very overwhelming and you could smell it about 30 yards from the door. When I smell that nowadays it takes me right back to walking through those doors the first time and seeing stacks and stacks of comics. Titan Games and Comics was just north and became my go to, but Fischers was like a whole new world opening up for me and when Titan comics was growing you sometimes would miss out on certain books and run down to Fischers to get them. Also as a kid they had books on the shelf you had never seen before and probably should not see at such an age, this was way before you must be 18 to enter rooms I guess. To that point I knew every gas station that had comics either on racks or in the magazine stand and would always try to influence which ones my parents would stop at for gas.

Thanks was pretty happy to find the 105. There were a couple other copies on the floor.
