A Craigslist lead brought me to an antique store where the owner wanted to unload some comics a friend gave to him a decade or so ago. 48 2-packs, mostly DC Universe logos. I'll add a good group shot later. 

 

Congratulations! (   if you want to let any of those go )

WOW!!!  They are still out there!  Congrats on the find!  Pretty awesome to see a stack like that!

Yeah, the only thing on Craigslist in my neck of the woods is usually advertisements from people buying comics. I pop on a few times a month just in case and saw the Action 686 on top of a stack. Turns out the seller owns an antique place and didn't think he could move them with his average clientele. When I saw the stacks of multiples, it took some effort not to gawk at the stack if nine 686's! 

What do you guys think about keeping them in the 2-pack or splitting them up for sale? I don't plan of keeping any of these for my PC.

I would keep them sealed.

Agreed, personally I would only open them if I needed a 9.8 of either book and if it looked like it had a shot!

I love those Punishers. 

31 from that series is always a great one to grab.

Thanks - I'm flying pretty blind on anything after 1978, except the obvious key books so I appreciate the tip.

The ad said the garage sale would be on Sunday, but you could stop by Saturday afternoon when they would be setting up - glad I did.

It was a girl's collection from the late 60s, early 70s, about 350 comics overall, so mostly Archies and Harveys, but about 30 DC romance comics, a few oddball titles, couple of Wonder Womans, a coverless Spiderman 29, a stack of Mads, and the Strange Tales 70 was a very nice bonus.

I never seem to find these in antique malls. Do they just have these displayed or did you ask the sellers?

Never ask,never,search every corner,those 2 comics were in a bin to be reprice next week but was in the comic room for everyone to see (kind of,if you have good eye)they had the price tag of company so they had to let go.but there was a ff 47 vg+ at 28 cad but not registered from that antique mall yet so grrr...could not get my hand on it and next week the price might be too high we will see lol.in antique mall or evrywhere else where its not just comics,asking for specific number will rise suspicions and in the near future they might up their price up.my father tryed  to help one a while back explaining variant and first appearance,two things happened,the price of comics got up and when my father wanted to buy book the owner was checking on internet before selling to him,happened in a pawn shop too.some just arent greatfull of help,better shut up buy smile and get out!

Ho in flea market people lokes to hide their best stuff so dumb guys and children dont make them sticky or just lower the quality,the show that you are carefull and ask pollitely if they are hidding the best stuff ,where i am most flea market do that so seriuos buyer gets great quality,its good to ask if theres more in the back but be vague not to show too much what you are interested in specifiquely or the amount you could lower the price wont be the same

Interesting... so you just browse the store and hope to find comics?
