I've been searching for that xmen book for years no success

 

Congrats

Went to a local used book shop that had a small comics section. Was kinda shocked to find that X-men book. Definitely one of those rare finds. The X-Men was a buck and the Morlocks #1 was fifty cents.

 

 

Well done!

 

BTW, for those who are confused, that's the rare variant. There's a 25 cent price, but the bar code says $2.25.

That's helpful! I love this thread, but sometimes I scratch my head at some of the finds as I am not up to speed on modern books. Or, even the hot movie/TV stuff sometimes.

You know what's funny is that back about 5 years ago, this was one of the books I was looking out for to complete my Uncanny X-Men collection. I had pretty much all of the variants and reprints that existed between #1 to #500 with the exception of #297 Pressman and #423 Newsstand Error. At that time, #297 Pressman could be had on Ebay for a premium but #423 Newsstand error was nowhere to be found. Eventually I ended up giving up collecting all the variants and even sold some of them since then. Who would have thought 5 years later, I would find one at a used book store of all places?

Given how rare the book is, I'm curious to see how much this will go for.

Ive heard this book is found more on the East Coast. I know Pikes Comics has found 2 in the wild in FL.

Got a call to go look at a 8000 book collection at dinner. Didn't really have time to do this but with the help of my lovely wife we got through it in a few hours. Here is what I picked up. A lot will go in my collection but some I will sell off to try a recoup some of the cost. Sorry for the not so great photos but its late and I'm tired.

I go garage saling almost every Saturday, but haven't been having much luck finding any comics for the past few months. Well my drought finally ended.

 

I picked these up today. They're mostly low grade, but there's a few that are close to fine. In addition to these in the photos I also picked up a small stack of Archies, some Harvey Titles, and a few Charlton/Gold Key titles. There were over 100 comics in the lot I picked up. They are mainly late 1960s to early 1970s, but there a few older and a few later.

 

I thought it was decent haul considering I paid less than 50 cents a book.

From an estate sale I was able to procure 3 Nova #1's (VF/NM), a FF #111, and a few other books, but had sold them before I could take a picture to share. One of the dealers I wholesale to bought everything. Sorry.

[Shark]

Congrats to all of the recent finds.

[Half-Gringo]

Great feeling to find so many comics that the floor is your backdrop!

 

A hearty congrats to all the many acquisitions and thanks for sharing them.

 

This thread always rocks... Tip of the hat to Shark (thumbs u

[Gatchaman]

I miss not having those three X-Men books.

[jaeldubyoo]

Found these in an antique store.

 

[Shark]

It was 30% off on your highest priced item today at Half Price Books so I popped into the local one to see what they had. Dug through the top bin of comics and found a few goodies....Quicksilver #1, Silver Surfer #1(1982), Vision and the Scarlet Witch #1 (1985), Soap Opera Romances #1 (Charlton), a Vampirella #49 in mid-grade and a few others including Todd #2, 3, 5, 6 and 7.

 

What really caught my eye were these:

 

 

 

I mean, how the hell could I pass up 65 minty Warlord of Mars comics - most featuring a damned near naked Dejah Thoris with Campbell and Jusko covers - for a measly $17.00? That's right - I couldn't.

 

I then moved on to the Vintage Stock store and found sweet copies of Solar #3 and #10 (1st printing) for $3.59 each. (thumbs u

This was one of those finds that gives me goose flesh... Picked these up around 8AM at my favorite Sunday Flea Market.

[yecul]

Wow. I didn't know those existed. Awesome find.
