Some lucky schlub just bought off of Craigslist almost full runs of New Mutants and X-Force for $75. It did have X-Force #2, 19, NM #98, and ann. #2. I emailed seller, but was too late.

Anybody from the UK watching this thread? Just received an e-mail from AuctionZip about upcoming comic related auctions and there's a 54 book lot of 1970s Marvel and DC pence books in an August 26 auction (next Wednesday) in Beeston, Might be a gem or two in there....

Cool! Was it known before you bought it or a surprise you found after the sale? If it was from looking at the book-- did the seller know it was in there?

 

 

[jsilverjanet]

No it was marked that it had the signature. I didn't even look at the rest of the stuff they had as I was so happy just buying this.

still pretty awesome -- did it come with a significant premium attached?

 

I am always hoping to stumble across a Kirby sig on a splash page of a book I buy. I know it happens occasionally. About the closest I came to a "surprise inside" (to use an old Cracker Jacks term) was finding a Bubbalicious insert that I never knew existed. That was more interesting than exciting.

Today's estate sale find. Box of comics for $10. Nothing spectacular, but will be a nice little eBay week. Weird box, spans about 35 years. I'll bet they just grabbed stuff and threw it all in the box.

How much was the comic worth?

Might have been one of my old albums...

 

Those albums that opened up were always good for that.

[Count Zero]

ahh yes, yet another way to utilize a LP jacket

[Fan Boy]

Today I went to 2 places in morning ... one was a yard sale and another a local small flea market. I found many Whitham variants with Canadian price 75 cents (12 of them) and a few others. At flea market, I had found 5 old comics - all thriller/horror themes (Marvel and GK) which is nothing to say but fun to read.

 

Here are the Whitmans in photos:

Found this at a flea market today

 

[Boboset]

I was happy to find this stuff.

 

The Go-Bot's Command Center is complete and it still lights up and makes that horrible alarm noise. The Power Warrior is missing one missile. Both are in great shape.

 

The blue/red multipack interior book is The Champions #11 and the yellow/green one is Marvel Presents #9. All the books look like they would grade mid 9s. Never found a multipack in the wild before. Fun stuff.

Those 75 cent Whitmans sure are purdy!
