Antique store pick up yesterday...

[Beastfeast]

Haven't had time to go digging in a long time and SUPER bummed I wasn't able to go to my old honey holes back on the east coast over the holidays.  Hoping everyone had some great scores and will keep on keeping on in '23.

Local auction win.

Same seller - happy with his 1st deal - offered up a much much tastier treat this time around!

$200 for all. The POTA #1 with Poster (Hulk - shown in pic) will get 50% of that back alone.

Newton Comics - now desirable - 45 yrs after 90% of them were pulped in landfills.

The irony.

Great story if you want to look them up - and a book too (recommended read)

Garage sale pick up. Asking $20, got them for $12.

[unclezebo]

Some local auction pick ups.

 

[Beige]

$60 for 250 issues.

If you are a seller-to-buy collector - this stuff is bread and butter for ebay stores. Easy turnover at $30 AUD for 5.

Nice Half Price Books find, $1 each, $2 for the Spideys.

First books I’ve bought since the early 90s.  Love the team up covers, and I can’t wait to see how Sarge gets out of this one!

Feb 11: took about a week to get to these.  Dark hawk was a really fun read!  The two Spidey books were really rough.  I don’t remember 90s Spidey being boring but these may have been during bad runs.

Found this at a library book sale for a $1. Not sure if it’s a true 1983 1st print

Based on the size in your hand I'll guess it's a Book Club edition (but I can't remember off the top of my head if this was a smaller hardcover - or if I just can't judge perspective). If it's a true 1st edition, you'll find "First Edition" printed on the copyright page, and on page 374, you'll find a printed code: Y38

Edited to add: it should also have a $15.95 price on the dust jacket.

374 being the Epilogue has Y4- (can’t make out the rest). I do see $15.95 cover price. Just not the “First Edition” on the copyright page
