    and lots of guys in the comments were saying that back in the day, they put their money in and couldn't get the book they wanted and were bitter for life towards the machine.

    Some of the comments I read said you could give the machine a good hip check and comics would fall into the collection bin.

    I'll be the person_too_unaware_of_social_graces who can't limit himself to 3 books

    Since @ PontoonPontoon went with four books, I'll only post two to even things out.

    1) A ComicLink win.  My first and only Ohio Pedigree.  Gotta love White Pages from 1945. 
    I think I said this last year, but I am moving more into GA without realizing it. 

    Folks, Meet Mary Marvel!

    2) Back in early November of 2023, I won a semi-local online auction of about a long box and a half.  All the books were from 1973, although I suspect there were random other comics thrown in from a different, modern collection.  I showed some of the books here.  Here is one of the pics from the auction.

    There are some keys visible.  No boards, not many bags. 
    Column 5, row 3, you'll see a of Tomb of Dracula #10.

    After a trip to my presser in North Carolina then onto Sarasota, here's what that Tomb of Dracula #10 looks like in a CGC slab.

    TLDR: They're out there
    PS: Thanks to the handful of Boardies who I've had conversation with about this book.
