Thanks for your confirmation post in this week in collection! Knowing to post here now, which makes more sense...

I don't want to assume, so I'll inquire, was this a more personal setting for you? I know you hit up estate sales and etc as this thread suggests and I'm wondering if you had time to peruse? I agree $500 seems like a good deal when the seller is satisfied. I'm also wondering if you had time to see the sigs before hand or placement and by whom? When he bought them one at a time, I can only imagine how long this took him over time? Or if he got sigs done in person? Still I love this story and as of late or with the "season starting up again this year and so soon?" I see it as good for you, just the feedback of having been doing diligence and then the perseverance to aquire having all parties satisfied!

Thor would thusly be impressed 😁

If this isn't your first time, well then you still have taught me to one day be able to for myself! Lord willing

Im sure LCS do this everyday but for me I feel it wouldn't be as often, as I'm not as prominent to acquire 😂 regardless well done.

 

This was a regular yard/garage sale that happened last Saturday. The first non-rainy sunny Saturdays in weeks/months. Not my first rodeo. I did have some time. I go rather quickly b/c u never know when the competition arrives. It was supposed to start at 8am and I didn't see anyone setting up outside until 7:45. Some of the autos I didn't even notice. A dealer friend picked up two Groo Sergio Aragones signed books that were remarked at the bottom. He sold those for a pretty penny. I did happen to miss a Deadpool 1 Limited also. I think he got them signed all in person years/decades ago. I didn't pry. Acquiring this welcomed junk also has its work lol.

1st that's awesome! 2nd I won't ask cost, but would raise other questions that I'd have asked myself when purchasing... the story is awesome though!

Does the condition of them warrant anything? Cgc Registry? Or just basic slabs for a collection? I'm tempted to say how much that is an instant collection, even if just Thor, given when Thor starts after journey into mystery!?!

I'm in awe!

Thanks for the kind words! I posted a more detailed story in the Garage sale thread. I rarely CGC grade. The seller's brother told him he should collect one hero's series title and they decided on Thor. So Thor it was! He ventured to buy every issue one by one over time. That's sticking to it. He paid more than he sold it to me for but for reference I paid $500

Na-na-na-na-na-na-na-na Na-na-na-na-na-na-na-na Newsstands!

How'd you get that many?

Too many to list 

FF 48 in 9.6

 Hulk 181’s in 9.6/9.4/9.2

Giant Size X-Men 1 in 9.8

Star Wars 1 35 cent variant in 9.0

TOS 39 in 7.5

Werewolf By Night 31 in 9.8/9.6/9.4

AF 15 in 5.5/5.0

Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles 1 in 9.2

On the flip side, all these regrets have probably lead to great satisfaction for the buyers

Passed on a ‘60s era Peanuts Sunday for $700 at an antique show in Rochester. When I returned to buy it a few minutes later it was gone. 

Can you explain this? Not sure what the loss is

I assume you guys saw the clip that littledoom was referring to at 16:48. It's a Marshall Rogers Batman sketch a lady picked up at an estate sale for $20.

That's what I was getting at. thanks lol.

That appraisal is ludicrous. The 86 Jordan has corner creases and is a PSA 3 or 4 at best. Literally appraised those cards at close to 10x what they are worth. 

He's one of the sports memorabilia appraisers. There's an older woman who also covers sports and should have appraised these as she's evaluated sports cards before

That’s pretty brutal lol. I respect the amount of DC on the wall and ASM at the bottom

I think a good number of people in this thread deal specifically in modern

There’s more moderns out there to sell so it makes sense 

It's been a while.. first post of the new year. You can tell the appraiser is a real dilettante
