Picked up a lower grade copy of Silver Surfer #4. My first copy, and for $80, I wasn’t leaving it behind: 

Picked these two up at my LCS this week. Got the ‘Tec 411 for $60 so I was happy about the score:

Traded a few books at a local shop for this. It’s been on my want list for a while, and was glad i didn’t have to pay anything out of pocket for it. It’s not in bad shape: 

Picked up a nice copy of HOS 103. Great Wrightson cover:

Nope! My  pictures aren't displaying for me. Just take my word for it, I swear I have these comics  

Picked up these two at my LCS this weekend -- both are nice copies with a few small issues, but a press would fix those issues. Paid 15 for #404, and $20 for #357:

I've been picking up a lot of bronze age lately, but I believe that this belongs here:

Nothing special, but a nice copy of Thor 168. Great Kirby cover!

I think I will look to complete the run and give it a read. 

And in regard to #7 vs #1, I think they are currently comparable in price. Steppenwolf is getting a little heat due to being the main villain in the Justice League movie, so #7 will see a spike for the time being. 

I think #1, over time, will still hold a higher premium. #1 certainly has a few first appearances, but still only has Darkseid's third cameo. If this was his first cameo or first full appearance, I think this book would be an even bigger key. 

Picked up a few books at my LCS this week. None of them are exactly high-grade, but still nice copies that present well in mylar. New Gods #2, #3, and #7 -- nice to have some Kirby Fourth World stuff added to my collection! Swamp Thing #7 -- great cover..first Swamp Thing and Batman interaction. Got them all at a great price.

Edit: Just picked up a very nice copy Superman 233, New Gods #1 in VF condition, and Worlds Finest #199 (low grade) (3rd race between Superman and the Flash):

Some recent pick ups:

I picked this cover up on ebay the other night: The Dell'Otto euro Wolverine cover. Grabbed this French version. Such an awesome cover:

This isn't a spoiler -- For anyone reading Batman..I just read Batman 13, and there were a few panels that reminded me of the big dinner from Dinner for Schmucks..if you've seen this movie, and read this issue...I think you'll know exactly what I am talking about

Not a bad arc. Janin's art was excellent.

Grabbed a few more AH books at cover price. I really like these Barb Wire covers!

Thanks. I've been lucking out there lately. I've scored much of the AH Wonder Woman run there (all cover price). I've never seen a copy of Batman 635 in back issue bins at any shop I've stepped foot in..then I found 2 NM copies at this same shop for $3.25 each a few weeks ago. Also found Batman 666 for the same price today in addition to my AH finds. I think they use overtstreet guide as opposed to eBay to price back issues. I think it's easier for these kind of books to be bought in stealth mode vs well known keys.

One of my local shops has been buying a number of collections lately, as evidence of the number of AH covers for Wonder Woman. Snagged these three today for $3.25 each in NM condition:

Hey now..

 

Just received my Dell'Otto Marvel Secret Work today from Italy

 

 

This version came with this limited print and his autograph in the interior.

 

 

 

Can't wait for the kids to go to bed to start looking through...

 

 

Congrats on the purchase! With Christmas around the corner, I just put this on my list.

 

I've recently come to the conclusion that a Dell Otto illustrated Spider Man Anything is my favorite Spider Man Anything

 

Fixed it for you

, this is true

Here are a few of my favorite copper covers in my collection:

I went a little crazy the past couple of weeks grabbing some AH covers at local shops:

My recent AH haul:

So I got one of my orders today, the BW & Color. Should be getting my 2 secret variant orders on Wednesday/Thursday. The comics both came in the poly bags everyone was talking about. Color looks like a solid 9.8 but the B&W one might have some minor ticks. I am pretty new to grading so not sure if there's a major issue with it or not, but to be honest, the overall quality looks pretty good. They wraped the comics in a Priority Mail envelope from USPS within a common comic mailer, so as far as I can tell, they did a really good job with the shipping of it.

 

Here are some photos.

 

Sorry for the poor lighting/camera.

 

Awesome! I can't wait for my B&W cover..hopefully without spine ticks. This cover really grew on me. I love Dell Otto (my favorite comic book artist), and when this was revealed, I thought it looked good but wasn't over the top crazy about it. That has certainly changed .

Has anyone ordered the Clayton Crain variant? I pre-ordered the color version from comicxposure, and not sure which one I like more. Either way, I am excited to have both in my collection soon.

Great stuff everybody!

Here is my contribution: I found all 3 Tundra reprints back in the spring at my LCS.

I recently found #1...third print...at that same shop for $7. I eventually plan to acquire a high grade first print down the road. But until this, this isn't a terrible place-holder!

Nothing special, but found this yesterday at my LCS in good shape:
