A friend was helping someone clean out their parents home in preparation for an estate sale of the house. He rescued this from the trash file and just dropped of to me. Based on what I see on the top, my hopes are high!

One of my favorites too!!!

This arrived today. Pretty reasonable compared to some sales I’ve seen. Not sure I’ll ever drop the coin needed for #1 though.

In ‘79 or ‘80 bought several TOD for $1 each from a used book store including a #10 that was near perfect. Stopped collecting in late ‘80’s and hardly touched my collection for 20 years. Discovered eBay and was so excited to sell that raw 9.4 (or better) TOD #10 for $149! Second place goes to the several ASM 252’s and SW 8’s I sold around the same time for $8 each.

I checked out your registry. It is beyond amazing!!!

Thanks! All but 3 are raw books. I stopped collecting them midway thru for a while and started back at the end. I used the rare Midtown 75% off flash sale to fill the gap. The exclusives I missed were a bit more costly from eBay. I thought I would never get the Wonder World Comics exclusives as they are hard to come by and costly on eBay. Then by chance I checked Wonder World website and the have them on sale. All 7 books for $59!!! Which books are you still searching for?

I completed my JTC Star Wars action figure variant set today of all days!

Now that’s a great mail day!!! Congrats on those high grades!

Two purchases from my earliest collecting years. Amazed they look this good after all these years!

All I need to complete the run is #5. Haven’t come across one I like. It’s a tough one with the black cover.

Nice!! You are acquiring variants faster than jimjum can sell them!

Awesome!!!

Anyone know the story on this one. Was this some sort of promo or part of a multi pack? When were they printed?

Came in today

Another cheapie.

This was the last of the non exclusives to elude me.

I have a soft spot for these:

Not too bad for $5. Been a while since not getting beat to the punch on a eBay BIN deal.

Secret Wars for me. Lost count of the number of times I’ve reread it.

My entry! Got a really nice deal on this last year. Not perfect but has the tats!

Just now noticing this thread and wanted to join the club. Picked this up in a dollar box at the First State Comic Con in the Wilmington DE area several years back before this comic took off.

Nice Showcase #79!

Never seen a date stamp for my BD (9/4) for any year! 😭

Very Nice!!!
