    Try Chicago Comics. Much better selection and much more reasonable prices. That's the only store in Chicagoland I buy vintage stuff at. I bet you will find something if you stop by.

     

    Thanks for the tip, I've never been there either, I'll have to make it the focus of my next buying expedition.

    I was out there a few weeks ago and couldn't find ANYTHING. Almost every book was priced at double or triple guide, even beaters. They had a box of Adams X-Men issues that had literally been underwater priced at like $20 each. That chain sucks. Period. Sometimes you can find decent stuff in the 50 cent bin, but their back issues should be avoided like the plague.

     

     

    I was pretty disappointed over all. It was fun at first to dig through boxes of Silver and Bronze books since none of the stores around me have much in the way of that sort of material in any quantity. But after seeing the high prices on so many beat up books, I soon came back to earth and bought a few BA Marvels in addition to the book I posted and headed back to the South Side.

    Took a ride out to Graham Crackers in Naperville, Il yesterday. I'd never been

    there before, and while I don't consider myself a high grade collector, most of

    their BA/SA was a little too low grade for me. I did manage to find some books

    I wanted and couldn't pass this one up.
