Instagram is my guess. 

I have IG to thank for showing me the awesomeness that is L.B. Cole. Oh and my wallet hates me because of it too. 

Do I still have time to sell some plasma?

Has CGC or CBCS ever graded a 10.0?

I don't think 10.0 is possible with these thick books. Would be nice though! 

Saw Joker last night. Looking forward to the re-watch! 

ALL NEW COMICS 12

Awesome Kubert splash.

Next time I'm at this Walmart I'll take another look but I don't remember seeing any baseball cards in the front area, either.

Not all Walmarts have a section. I went to probably 10 during the hype of the Ms. Marvel variant cover. It's always in the front with the baseball cards. 

Maybe once an official trailer is released or actors confirmed. Until then, supply and demand.

With everything that is going on with this book, why not leave it raw?

What's the fun in that?

Yuppers, one of the harder issues to obtain (don't ask me how I know).  If you have glue, tape, and the new staple removed, wouldn't they then give it a PLOD?  Might be best to simply submit it as-is.

Wouldn't it be the opposite from PLOD if all of the above was removed? Mainly the glue, might even come back blue label with notes "dried glue on cover, extra staple added". If anything, glue removed and leave everything else as-is.

by far my 2 best craigslist purchases (and easily my scariest non-purchase) have been in the type of situation described above. so there's that.   

Good luck!  Also I've shared this before, but another great trick (if possible), is getting the cash out ahead of time and making your offer loud enough for the wife/gf to hear or directly in front of her.  A lot of times they just want it gone and are happy to get anything, as they think its junk taking up precious space (although to be fair it often is).  Also bringing smaller bills so it looks like a fatter stack of cash (obviously make sure the bigger bills are more visible).

Reminds me of the scene from the movie "Kingpin"

$100 bill wrapped in monopoly money

Nice..

Is the top staple new?

Yup. Someone added an additional staple.

Glue or tape?

There's a few drops of glue around the green face and around the skull. Kinda hard to tell from the scan.

Maybe the tape too.

Seriously!I've only seen a handful in the years I've been here.

Here's one more. I'm thinking of getting this one graded and hopefully the glue on the cover can be removed.

Like Pablo mentioned. IG has an awesome tight knit GA community. There's some nice books out there!

I have found that in LA the best area for picking garage sales in South Central or Mid City. Most folks are a little intimidated to go there and you have very little competition. Lots of old houses from the 1920’s-1960’s. Got a Latin friend who lives there and picks up a lot of great stuff for me there. So that would probably “Old Brown and Black Money”

I appreciate the tip. I will have to reconsider my hunting grounds.. 

See you on Super Sunday. I'll be there bright eyed and bushy tailed.

Gotta go to the older areas of town I guess.

It does help..I call that "Old White Money"
