Nice!

A few years ago I went to our local huge outdoor flea market.

 

The brother-in-law noticed a gigantic box of He-man figures. I'm talking Moving Box huge.

 

Literally full of loose He-man guys. In the pile were two Wonder Bread He-mans. Those familiar with He-man history know that even one is super rare. Granted, these are not high grade items. But I was VERY pleased.

 

I still have a ton of the figures that were high grade for my collection. A lot of later releases that tend to be rarer too. But I sold the common and low grade stuff and made my money back ten-fold.

 

Only spent $40 for that entire box.

 

I wish I could run across more like this.

That Star Wars stuff is a great find!

Not a flea market this time. I found these at a local show for $8 total. WD #61 is a solid 9.8.

I can't believe the luck some people have.

You're pretty lucky actually. You know me.

picked up a G~VG+ collection of 50+ SA/GA books today, this one was in there

[Spiderphill]

My dad called me last week and said he found a long box of comics in the garbage near by his house, I picked it up tonight. There's a John Bryne FF run 232-293, small captain marvel run like 35-46, crisis 1-12, then like misc 50 or so other bronze age comics. The kicker is they were all bagged and boarded in HG like 9.0+ some moisture to the bottom of the box from sitting in the grass waiting to be picked up by the recycling men but luckily everything was bagged and nothing was damaged. I started replacing the backs/bags due to them being yellow and old. Will show some pictures tomorrow or wed when I have some time.

 

I owe this thread a picture.

 

 

Not bad for a garbage fine. Every comic is 9.0+. Best one in the lot was a teen titan #2 in the 9.6-9.8 range.

 

I forgot all about this until my dad called me yesterday saying one of his friends gave him a box of comics because she knows I collect comics. So we will see. Hopefully I have some more stuff to post tomorrow.

Nice pick-ups!

 

I hit a few tag sales the past two weekends. Found a small batch of 90s comics, but when I looked through I managed to pick out a couple Uncanny X-Men, 123 and 124 in NM, plus an X-Factor 6 that looks more like a 9.0 upon second glance. $3 each - not really a good deal but $.40 uncannys are from the sweet spot of my collecting youth, so whatever.

 

Also bought a baggie of Lincoln cents, and a smattering of other coins, plus some junk silver pieces (a thimble, couple crosses, etc.).

 

Also got a great carved marble chess set for $20, must weigh about 30 lbs.!

 

At yesterday's tag sale I was scoping out the bar area of this house and found six Marilyn Monroe wine glasses. A quick google at the sale showed that they were Bradford Exchange and ebay sales showed multiple sales at 2 for $40 plus shipping. I got all six for $12 total. That'll be good seed money for more purchases!

 

Long Island is a hotbed of tag sales, even over the wintertime.

I found this at a LCS I don't frequent too often, but its a deal, so I'll post it here.

 

The guy had Batman 608 on his wall for $8. He also threw in the ASM hardcover for free (he said he's been giving them out to customers who buy something). The Batman 608 is at least a 9.6, but I think it has a shot at a 9.8. I'm going to wait to grade it, since I want to get it Signature Series.

Oh man. I remember playing with that as a kid. Use to put Spidey on the car windows while mom was driving. Good times.

 

[Buzzetta]

Honestly...

 

I found a first printing copy of Ernest Hemmingway's "For Whom the Bell Tolls"

 

The only thing it was missing was the dust jacket. I thought that was the coolest thing I ever found.

 

As far as comic books... we do not have anything around here that draws dealers with anything worth picking up.

[batmiesta]

Picked these up at car boot sale( flea market) this morning, don't know anything about the signed books, thought I would buy them for a quick flip.

I snapped up a nice lot of toys last week, was out in the sun taking these shots a short time ago and will be listing them all on ebay tonight. There is a link to my ebay site in the selling section of the forum if anyone is interested. The thread is called "Junkdrawer is cleaning out his junkdrawer"

Nice stuff, these will fetch good money. The dragster is especially cool.
