  1. I dunno. It figures they probably get multiple copies from various sellers. Or it could just be coincidence. I don't know how they handle distribution with things that go back to the main warehouse VS things sold directly to and kept at the individual stores.
  2. Oddly enough, I found this same book at Half Price Books myself a month or two ago. Definitely a cool find!
  3. Pic 1 is modern, half of cover price buys. The rest came in $7 grab bags. They each had 20-25 comics in them, so these were 28 - 35 cents each. I bought 4 grab bags, and these are the highlights from them, though there was other fun stuff. Most are in F or higher condition, but that GI Joe 24 is pretty beat (though complete).
  4. I found these recently at HPB. I never knew they made comics based on the Disney World attraction.
  5. I dunno. Keeping them sealed too long may cause eventual warping and corner bending. But there may be potential buyers who hope for big ratio or exclusive variants in unopened packs. But if potential buyers just want the Walmart exclusive books, then opening is best, probably. Personally, I've opened all mine.
  6. Far too many spiders. But Slott writes Spider-Boy as a fun character, so I think it's a mix of true fan enjoyment and spec.
  7. Nice books! I especially like those Usagi pickups. I just recently got that issue of Doomsday Squad myself. Nice pickups! I love seeing what other people find at HPB. It's such a fun place to hunt for comics!
  8. Found a stash of these Saturday (1st pic), then went back Sunday to spend more time digging and found a bunch more (remaining pics). All at HPB for half of cover, so $2.50 a pop. I never bought any of these combo packs polybagged when they were new, but someone mentioned somewhere how the bags disintegrate, and I gotta say, yeah, they definitely do! The Nite Owl book was bagged and boarded but still had the polybag inside, and when I rebagged it, plastic fell everywhere and made a huge mess. Every time I tried to pick up a piece of plastic, it would fall apart into even tinier pieces. So annoying! I'm thankful literally only that 1 book still had its original polybag. The rest looked like they were debagged shortly after they were originally purchased. So Protip: if you have some of these still polybagged, take them somewhere like your garage, or outside (though that's bad for the environment), or a Dexter-like kill room or something and extract your comics carefully so you can re bag-and-board them. That plastic is nasty stuff!
  9. More HPB finds for half of cover price. The Aquaman is a little older but it's a cool book and a semi...minor...former key, I guess?
  10. I could have sworn I saw a topic somewhere a few weeks back where people were posting color errors in comics. But I can't find it, so I'll post this here because it fits...kind of. Anyway, check out Psylocke. The colorist might have been, uh...daydreaming or something.
  11. So besides the Transformers Hasbro Exclusive Cover and the By The Horns Ashcan, these weren't actually $1. They were half of cover price, courtesy of HPB.
  12. Alright! I guess this is the best place to post my recent random assortment of cool books I found at Half Price Books over the last couple of weeks. These weren't half of cover price, though. But still, fun finds for good prices! The 2 biggies are stickered, but the Archies were $2 a pop and the TMNT Loot Crate reprint was $10. *EDIT: Ha! I was fooled! I also bought what I thought was Alias #1 for $20, but I realized after taking a picture that it's the Marvel's Greatest Comics $1 reprint. So that one I'm returning!
  13. I visited a new (for me, not actually "new") Walmart recently and grabbed 3 7-for-$10 packs. Just sharing. I miss getting new packs, but it felt good to open these.
  14. This is the ugliest wrapped/cut book I've ever seen in person. Found at Half Price Books with a dollar sticker price. Worth it! LOL
