Was there anything else?  

I bought a Secret Wars 1-12 set from the guy the week before for a good price and asked if he had anything else.  He got back to me with a list of books but they were WAY overpriced, except for this.

Found a 5"x5" tin box for a buck-ish at an antique store.

But I don't know what to put in it. Any ideas?

Neat! Reminds me.... At some point used cigar boxes became a thing I've been seeing piles of at antique stores. Some are decent sized. I picked up at least a dozen or more used Arturo Fuente and New World cigar boxes for a buck each a few months ago. And again, now I gotta find a use for them! :D

The suggestions here are better - but this is the actual source most likely…. My son had a Marvel wallet and it came in a box similar to this.  I found this one on eBay, not the exact same but had to be where this is from.

Yard sale advertised comics today at 8 am. No photos or description. I got there at 7:50. Comics were long gone. Guy came and bought them all, they said. Don't know what's worse: missing out or not knowing what was there? Maybe it's a tie. 

buy em all sounds like a swap meet dealer. It's not all gems. Could be junk with some gems mixed in.

For sure. While it’s always possible there were some gems, there are a lot of folks out there buying up every comic they see because they know comics are “hot”. I used to hit a lot of estate auctions, but I haven’t been in a while, because a few years ago there were suddenly a bunch of new people driving up prices on junk, never mind the good stuff. It’s like with my family and friends who know I sell comics come to me with their score, and I have to let them down gently that they aren’t sitting on a gold mine. Old doesn’t always mean valuable, unfortunately.
