Wish me luck on a new collection

[ft88]

Received a call on a collection of 20-25 long boxes of late 70's and 80's comics. I'm expecting very little but if it hasn't been picked through it could be quality. OO mentioned that he bought multiples of issues like X-men Spiderman and FF and kept them unread. He bagged them but didn't board them

 

Also mentioned lots of Legion and really emphasized that he had all the limited series, especially X-men related.

 

Anyway, wish me luck, I'll be flipping the bulk of them on the boards if I get them.

Huzzah!!

 

Got these tonight and it looks about as expected. Quite a few boxes of 80's fillers but the multiples were there. 3 copies of ASM 238 and others. Plus 2 30 cent X-men variants that was a bonus.

 

Anyone need any Amethyst?

What is that on top of the long box? An Avengers poster?

No Amethyst needed here, but is that some sweet Marvel New Universe I see?

[Old Fashion PB and J]

I dont even own one spidey 238..

[heinlein99]

That's the General Mills logo on that one manila envelope. I wonder what that is.

Oh yes, a hundred or so New Universe issues. Also came across the "Generic Comic" jeez, where was management to squash ideas like that.

That's from a different collection but I had to move them. They are unopened "Wheaties Wings' from 1944 used as a promo. If you google it, you'll see these are used for paper airplane contests and are considered the greatest paper airplanes of all time.

[silverage12c]

I see a nice set of 4 X-men posters, too --- right under that Avengers poster. Still have my set of these from my youth.

 

Which X-men 30¢ variants did you get? I hope they are in nice condition.

[the blob]

are you going to list the drek here? criminey, i had better get my drek up first....

[ft88]

The problem with drek is organizing and listing it, all for what, $0.25 each? Or sell it by the box for a bit less.
