Good lord Dwayne - I sense (and hope for) another 2 year sales thread coming!!

Got these from a friend who didn’t know what to do with them, so they were free.  I’ll grade them and put them up for sale soon.  Unfortunately, the ‘Our Fighting Forces’ has a fully detached cover, but the rest of it looks good.

First FB Marketplace score in a longgggg time!  

Saw a listing for a bunch of Dark Horse Mask comics.  As I was going through the photos, I saw a typed list that had "Evil Ernie 1 3 4 5" in a separate row as the Mask books.  I shoot a message over asking if those are also for sale and the guy responds, "Didn't realize I had those in the list.  If you spend $10, I'll give you those for free."  I'm IN!  I check out his other listings and we make a deal for 3 different theme lots he put together.  The first was horror, the second was movie related books, and the 3rd was Cherry Poptarts.  

When I got home, found a Cherry Poptart #1 1st print in the pile that wasn't pictured in the listing!  And those Evil Ernies?  Oh babbbbbby!  $30 well spent!

I got these during Covid lockdown. A guy was having an online estate sale. He had one kind of lousy photo. He wanted $100 for the group of 8. So I drove about 20 minutes to his house. When I got there, he came out and laid them on the roof of my car. They turned out to be WAY better than the photo. Whole deal was a little weird so I just handed him the money and took off. When I got home I realized he included the 3 extra ones in the bottom left of the photo. The Unexpected was #2 and the SA with the green cover was the washtone card game cover I had been looking for! The best 2020 Covid era deal ever!

Holy smokes! Dang that's a nice lot! Looks like a tailor-made haul for me. I hope to score those Evil Ernie's someday

Was able to get out and dig for the first time in a long time, this morning. Just have not had the time this summer, lots going on. Went to one of my favorite spots, and immediately scored this Marvel Comic Book Collecting box. I have been looking for this thing for many, many years. I think another one popped up in this thread not too terribly long ago, but I'm too lazy to scroll back and check. This thing came with a comic collecting kit, that included this box, a poster, some comics, a little price guide, and bags and boards, i believe. You can find the poster relatively easily if you're willing to pay for it, but the box is pretty elusive. There's a green one, and the red one, and the red one was what I had. Had to have it, really made my day.

Also picked up a couple of Spidey pinbacks in nice shape, and oddly enough, a model and toy mag I'd been looking for, for my Alien collection. I'd been planning on grabbing one of these some day, they're not valuable, but I was not at all prepared to stumble across a lovely copy at a garage sale. So now it's mine!

Didn't pick up many comics, but I did liberate this smut for a few bucks. I'm not a big Tim Vigil guy, but $2 for that Grips Special felt like a no brainer.
