there is no premium attached to pence priced copies (and, in fact, some feel they should be worth less), although I'd guess they're probably 1/25th as common as cents versions (just a random number...I'm assuming per capita U.S. comic consumption in the UK is less than in the USA/Canada). think of it this way: they're not at all uncommon in the U.K. and there are plenty of comic collectors over there in a country about 1/6th the size of the U.S. so, in other words...plenty of copies.

 

with that said, i buy them when i see them in the cheap-o boxes even when they might not be in a condition i would normally buy them in. they still feel novel to me after all these years.

Is there anything you don't buy out of the cheap-o boxes?

yes. at some point i run out of money. lately that point has come earlier and earlier in the buying process.

 

i'm not into classics illustrated junior, or at least later ones.

 

99% of anything from 1982 - 1997 or so I stay away from. 97% from 1998 - 2001. 90-95% from 2002 - present.

 

and yeah, there's other stuff. in more recent years i have become more grade conscious, particularly if i'm potentially buying a dupe. one of my LCS has a ton of BA books sitting in the cheap-o right now, but I have like 5 nice copies of each of them and they're mostly around Fines so I'm taking a pass.

Intriguing... what LCS is that? I hardly know any here that stock back issues anymore.

My one BA win from the Pedigree auction last night.

 

[Silver Surfer]

Nice. I wasn't too crazy about that auction, didn't have that deep of a selection.

+1

 

There were a couple nice Avengers though that i needed. Since they didnt have reserves and i actually had a chance to win them unlike the last 4 Pedigree auctions i bid in, i decided to lift my Pedigree auction boycott (thumbs u

[Brian48]

More Adams Bats for the belfry.

 

Not the highest of grades, but it's the highest I've been able to find for this particular book.

 

 

A nice raw copy I picked up at a local comic shop for $8.00.

Received today; inspired by the Dave Stevens thread...

I bought my first CGC 9.8 book! Pretty crazy that i have been buying for over 20 years and I didnt have a 9.8 graded book.

 

This was the first X Men comic I bought as a kid! Always liked this cover! Now will the 9.8 bug bite me???

Nice! Congrats man

 

I loved that book as a kid also. That issues and then 150 were the 2 issues that REALLY got me into the x-men when I was like 9-10 years old. I always loved the art in those issues

Two more ducks added to my collection

I remember when that was made available at the grocery store. My dad was a store manager and brought a handfull of the leftovers home. I think I still have a few in mom's attic, but they are not 9.8's. Nice copy!
