Thanks synch. And no, not rich (yet) especially with the bloodbath in the stock market lately. As to the cost of the books, they all came pretty cheap. The ASM 238 cost $15, the ASM 298 I bought new, DC Special Series was $25, Hulk 340 I bought new (along with 6 other copies, of which I have only graded one other that came back a 9.8 as this one should have too), Transformers were fairly cheap but I don't recall what I paid for them, Web of Spider-Man I bought a dozen copies when I was 13 for 15 cents each, Wolverine 1 bought new, and Wolverine Limited 1 was bought a set of 10 issues from the limited series for $80.
