VERY nice! Congrats! (thumbs u

I know brother,just helping the guy out.He's got great books. I am stsarting to think his method works...I couldn't avoid it..innevitably ..I watched one.. It's like dangling a carrot in front of a rabbit.

Kudos to Peter Palmer (Adam) for some nice raw ASM's and to ciorac (Bill) for a couple of Marvel TPB's. Thanks guys!

I'm trying to find one too without breaking the bank.

Yeah, you're right. Nothin' but junk in that box.

And on the way back through Rockford, I stopped at a garage sale and started going through his dollar boxes. And lookie what I found:

OK. Here's some pics of some of the stuff I picked up today at a flea market in Wisconsin: Journey Into Mystery #82 (last issue before Thor starts) The cover's loose but I picked it up for about $7.00. The following books were picked up at $1.00 each: Beautiful copy except for an impact ding at the lower right corner which can be removed with pressing. Also picked up copies of Rai #0 and #2. Part of a 12 issue run (1 thru 12) that I picked up for a buck each. Nick (Bosco) just posted scans of his two 9.8's of #5. Should I have bought the rest of the run (13 on up)? And for me, the coup de grace of the day: Sports Illustrated Vol. 40 #15 from 1974 celebrating Henry "Hank" Aaron's 715th home run (when he broke Babe Ruth's old record) Picked it up for $5.00.

I have a few good items I picked up today. When I get a chance, I'll take some pics and post 'em later tonight. (thumbs u

Very nice!

A drastically underrated series, Sarah. And some incredible talent contributed to the stories and artwork, so super all-around. My favorite issues are Scout 9 (1st Modern intro of Airboy), Airboy 1, Airboy 3 (return of the Heap), and 5 (I'm not sure why, but something grabs me). It's gotta be the gun....HAS to be the gun.

And belated kudos to kdoginohio for a nice Iron Fist #14 at a great price and to namisgr for a sweet Giant-Size Spidey #2 slab. Thanks guys!

Big kudos to CDaBruce for a total of 8 Spidey slabs (6 received and 2 coming). Great packing job and nice prices. Thanks Cristian!

I'm heading to a big flea market in Wisconsin on Sunday and on the way back I might catch the tail end of a flea market at the local fairgrounds. I'll let you guys & gals know if I come up with anything of interest Sunday night. (thumbs u

Very nice books! Don't sell him anything, Paul. He's a book withholder. What you talkin' about Willis?

Very nice books!

Judging by your sig line I assumed that you did. Doesn't hurt to try right?

I don't know if you'll believe me but...dude, I really dig this book of yours.. It and four 9.4 copies are for sale in my current sales thread.

More nice books back today:

Purchased from flatrock02 here on the boards, pressed by joeypost and back from CGC today. Purchased from comicwiz on the boards and back from CGC today also: Purchased from eBay and back today (color touch was NOT disclosed).

I'll be having another slab sale tonight as a batch of new books arrived today. All Bronze and Copper Age books (ASM, Iron Man, Marvel Super Heroes Secret Wars, one Batman and one Superman.

Jaydog, Definitely let CGC know about the cracked cases. They should reholder them at no additional cost to you. (thumbs u

Great find! I've been pretty lucky finding comics at local garage sales, flea markets and antique malls. I perform a search a couple of times a week on my local paper's website for the word "comic" and find many garage sales that way. Over the last 8 years I've managed to come up with some pretty good stuff: 1) Iron Fist #14 (1st Sabretooth) for about $10.00. I submitted it to CGC a few years back and it came back an 8.0. 2) A Marvel Spotlight #5 (1st Ghost Rider) from that same garage sale for another $10. It just came back a CGC 6.5 with WHITE pages. 3) A nice run of NM Conan the Barbarian issues from 30 thru 50 that I paid $1.00 each for. 4) A MAD #24 (1st Mad Magazine) at an antique mall in central Illinois that I bought for 55 cents. It came back a CGC 3.0. 5) A pink Harbinger #0 variant issue that came back a CGC 9.4. I picked it up at a local antique mall for $5.00. Treasures are still out there to be had. Just keep your eyes and ears open and think "comics" all the time and you'll find something good out there.....someday. (thumbs u

What? No pics? I posted a few of the books for sale in my Mixed Age Sales Thread. http://boards.collectors-society.com/ubbthreads.php?ubb=showflat&Number=3976154#Post3976154 I honestly haven't had time to scan as many as I would have liked to have scanned by now. I hear ya. Scanning books seems to take FOREVER.....especially when there are thousands to scan.

What? No pics?

Thanks for the heads-up, count me in on the mercy bidding (thumbs u I will definitely be keeping my eye on some of those books as well.
