Love those Deathhawks, you don't see that #2 with the Dorman bondage cover very often. 

Super rare stuff. It was sandwiched inside a 1-3 set pack for 50% off

I've been holding onto these for a lot of years. One day I'll send them in for grading

I remember when I used to struggle to sell MK 1 1980 for $10

I want in!

Nice surprise from this last weekend's Wondercon.  Since it's square bound it's loose - no glue on it.  Interesting that the dealer didn't call it out.

 

Which dealer? 

Convention cheap buys

Convention $2 comics 

Convention $1 comics 

Never seen four staples in a comic. Let alone modern. 2 at top and bottom

Rare find in a 1/2 off sets longbox for $5!

Think it's a law of averages kind of thing.  Go to enough places and eventually, you will.  

the sale I went to confused me with another sale I went to a couple years ago.. I thought I was going to that one since it was in the same neighborhood. Had it not been I would have passed as I had scheduled plans for that morning. Turns out I made a great decision to go

Im saying...he couldve called a few comic shops before giving them away for $1.

It was only 6 short boxes. He must have a tiny office.

 

Why cant I ever come across one of these guys!!!! 

 

He did and he didn't want pennies on the dollar.. and that New Mutants guy also spoke to a local shop about his NM run with Deadpool but the shop wasn't interested in buying his whole run

That haul reminds me of that deleted scene from High Fidelity.

that's funny because he knew what he had value wise. just needed the office space

Please don't press books, it's just not necessary. 

I beg of you.😥

some comics desperately need it

did the guy seem to be a drug addict?

Level headed fun loving family man.. so quite the opposite

So you found all the New Mutants (and more) plus these in a weekend?

Yes I go to multiple sales in one day or over 2-3 days.. check what I passed to my friend on Friday in the "post your flea finds" thread

That is a crazy haul, how many comics are we talking about?  I'm surprised a collector would be flushing them out at a buck a piece instead of selling them as runs?

There were about 20 shortboxes laid out on his driveway. Luckily I did buy all of his runs. What’s shown are the highlights. I got full runs of X-Men from 159-316, BP 1-40, WD 7-101, etc. What I didn’t picture is a near full run of Simone Bianchi Batman and Detective Comics covers! That’s a beautiful run that I was stoked to get! And the conditions are high grade

"Certainly" double or triple the value? No.

You’re right, quadruple!

Comics are everywhere in Bottle Rocket's pharmacy scene at 6:20-7:00 mark .. on the wall, spinner rack, discount longbox.. X-Men and Hepcats can bee seen

Wasn't there just an Ontario con in December! Such close proximity!

A double cover would certainly double or triple the value. A dealer friend recently sold NTT Annual 2 (1st Vigilante) vg newsstand for $120 and What If Elektra had not died for $70 at auction .. both double covers.. one day auctions in a closed group also!
