wombat Posted December 8, 2015 Share Posted December 8, 2015 I paid a measly $95, couldn't believe it. $95 + 11 shipping = 106 Great pickup for a great price! I live in the Uk, so it was $30 shipping, still very happy though. So you paid $125 in total. What do I win? My admiration. I'll take whatever I can get.

Doohickamabob Posted December 8, 2015 Share Posted December 8, 2015 Made an unexpected local deal yesterday. This guy was selling some silver/bronze Archie comics, and happened to also have an almost-full run of Planet of the Apes magazine #2 through #22. I figured what the heck and bought them for a well-below-guide price. I haven't seen most of these before -- they're off my usual collecting radar -- but the covers are really dynamic and cool.

Doohickamabob Posted December 8, 2015 Share Posted December 8, 2015 Whoa! Nice, what sort of grade? I'm thinking most are in the VG to FN+ range. Most have solid spines, tight at the staples, etc. Some of them have nice glossy covers, but some have noticeable wear. The seller had them stacked raw in a plastic bag that was inside a box, and his story indicated they had been stored that way in a garage for at least a couple decades. The first thing I did after getting them was put them in sleeves/backings. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Those mags are chok full of great Alcala and Ploog goodness! Here is a link to my (very old) review of the series. Spoilers to those who haven't read this great series.

batmiesta Posted December 8, 2015 Author Share Posted December 8, 2015 Its a very under rated series IMHO, I am trying to put together a HG set, the later issues are proving impossible to find HG. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Brian48 Posted December 11, 2015 Share Posted December 11, 2015 Vol 1 is a slight upgrade from my existing copy, but Vol 2 is new. Both are in the best shape I've seen so far for these books. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
