You have no reason to be upset. :makepoint:

 

That is one great haul there! :applause:

Thanks man. I'm not really upset. I get more than my share of awesome deals, and there's ALWAYS going to be someone there before you. No worries. :) We hit about 12 yard sales this morning but there was nothing for me. However, I'm sure that somewhere in Myrtle Beach someone had a yard sale this morning that had comics or Star Wars or something... It's all the luck of the draw! :)

 

I was just having some fun with you Chip. :grin:

 

And you have more patience than I do going to 12 different yard sales. I decided a long time ago to stop hitting all or many local yard/garage sales unless they actually advertised "comics". I'm sure I've missed out on some really good stuff, but at least I'm saving a lot of gas. :D

Today I went to 2 flea markets and 1 prison auction... Zero. Zilch. Nada. (shrug)

It was fun to lurk around in an old dilapidated prison though...

 

On the way home I popped in an antique store just before closing...

Under a pile of crusty books was this... I literally had to knock the dust off of it after I dug it out!

I didn't want to create a thread for it since it was a small con of not much consequence, but I went to the X-Con World Show yesterday at the Myrtle Beach Convention Center. Not sure if I'm going to head back tomorrow as there wasn't much there. Only about 6-7 comic-only dealers with most having WAY high prices. The best booth was someone selling his private collection for $1/each (with a short box of some higher-priced books) and discounts if you bought a lot. I bought a lot, but mostly because I was pissed someone cleaned him out about 20 minutes before I got there (Swamp Thing #37 for $1...stuff like that). Grrr. :) Anyway, I found some good 50/75-cent stuff regardless of the noise and junk.

He had a couple of choice books (Batman #4 in about 5.0 raw and a 9.6/9.8 raw Spider-Man #1 Chromium) but wanted silly prices for them ($3,200 and $350). He also had a full run of Iron Man for a silly price (again $3,200) with the #55 in CBCS 3.0 signed 3x and the #1 about a 6.0 raw.

Here is the first picture lot of what I was able to find this weekend.

 

All of these 80's Joe's, and a lot of extra pieces, I picked up for $7.00.

These cartoon stripings are from the 1930 to the 1950's and there are a lot more than what I have taken pictures of.
