Taking stock of the situation (and trying better to recall my childhood), I realized this wasn't the same system my buddy had (he had an Intellivision). Not sure how the Colecovision compares to the competition at that time, the desireability and/or collectibility factor, or if any of the games are desirable, but the games that came with the one I bought are:

 

Cosmic Avenger

Venture

Gorf

Buck Rogers

B.C.'s Quest for Tires

Super Action Football

Lady Bug

Zaxxon

Donkey Kong

Donkey Kong Junior

Tres amusing

Picked this up off craigslist today. My son is a big Hulk fan and will flip out.

I know nothing about it. Saw it and had to pick it up. Not sure if he had eye stickers at some point.

[DiceX]

That's freaking sweet, dude. I've never seen one.

Congrats on finding it.

After seeing what everyone has been finding out there, I decided to hit a couple flea markets over the weekend. Found a couple McFarlane Spideys, Frank Miller Daredevil, three TMNT books, couple early Web of Spider-Man, and a Whitman The Little Monsters. Got each book for $1 except the Whitman, which cost me $2 The stand with the Whitman had some late 60's Archie books and what nots, but unfortunately, someone had written prices on the covers with a pen At least all the books that had covers

 

Suprisingly, nearly all these books are in great shape. Mostly around NM, with a few that look pretty close to 9.8 Think I might test my luck again next weekend at some other Peddler Malls and flea markets.

I had moderate success today at the 3rd Sunday Antique Market in Bloomington, IL:

 

 

Unfortunately the Uncle Scrooge is missing the centerfold, but I only paid $1.50 for it.

 

 

NICE!!!! Now this is a score!

I am hoping to get some help on this one as I have never seen it and could not fin any info on the internet. It appears to be a invitation box set given to members of the academy for screening of movies for the Oscars. There are more pics I just didn't want to overwhelm this thread with them. Does anyone know anything about this? there is a calendar of screening on the lot. and if you read the last part the other movies will be sent after their theatrical release a month later. Just another item I picked up at Goodwill to finance my comic hobby.

That's pretty interesting. Although Shawshank Redemption should have beat out Forrest Gump for Best Picture that year

I picked up a bunch of $.25 clearance comics from Half Priced Books intending to cut them up, but when I started flipping through them I discovered that the DC Who's Who U-W issue is a double cover. It's a little rough, but still a funny surprise.

I miss Half-Price. In Austin the HP has a collectibles section, sometimes they would have pulps. The comics section was pretty nice too, but never had deals like you got. That NM #98 is great find.

I just went into a HP Books for the first time last week here and the only comics they had were Graphic Novels/Trades.

MAJOR SCORE!!

 

Found these at a yard sale this morning. Those stickers were his asking prices.

 

[Shark]

There are 4 local Vintage Stock stores in the Oklahoma City area and they're all having a labor day weekend sale today thru Monday. Buy one comic and get one free. I picked up all 39 of these books, all in sweet condition (except the Conan #24) for under $100. Needless to say, I'm going back again tomorrow.

More books today from the "MAJOR SCORE" :kidaround:a couple posts back. Asking prices were marked. A nice Cap and a nice Wonder Woman!

Today's flea market finds. All $1 each.

 

The books that aren't in bags are screaming for a press, since the guy who sold them just threw all his comics into a tub. The only one that's probably going to get pressed is DD 158.

 

Is the X-Men 25 without the foil anything good? It has a dirt stain on the spine, and I want to see if its worth the trouble to get it out (it is pretty fresh and starting to come off).

Love reading through these discoveries so I thought it was time to step-up and contribute my own find, a GA collection from 2010...

 

Last April I went to see an individual about 40 minutes away, who I found on CL, about making a purchase on a completely non-comic related item. Over the course of our discussion I mentioned that I collect comics as well. Upon hearing this he said, "Hey! I've got a stack of old books that my aunt left me when she passed away. I'm only the second owner - want to take a look?" I said sure, why not?

 

We go down into his basement and yep, he's got a bunch of comics from the 1940s just laying in magazine racks, but at least bagged. I started flipping through them and of course there's the expected cartoon comics along with some other odds and ends in varying degrees of condition. I then ask him do you have any superhero books? He then told me those are his favorite so he's used them to cover the wall behind his other pop culture collectibles. So he pulls a a few off the wall, the key books, and they turn out to be in really great condition regardless of their purpose - wallpaper. I'm guessing actually putting them on the wall protected them from kids, friends, dogs, etc. unlike the magazine rack group.

 

Long story short I made him a fair offer on the better material. It's been my one and only "find" over the years. Some of the books have made their way out into the market, locally and nationally, while I've retained others for my own collection. Enjoy (thumbs u
