What buy did you make that you are so glad you scooped up?

For me a BA swan/anderson Superman page I got for $200 2 years ago

Don't think that price for those 2 artists will ever happen again.

My Tec 38. I let it get away during the Heritage auction, but luckily for me Peter in Portugal saw the winning bidder list it for sale on myslabbedcomics and pointed me to it.

[NewWorldOrder]

I picked up a great VG book from that boardie Vger7.

 

Peach of a deal.

A couple of small ones lately that turned into resells. A nice Star Wars 1 for $100 that I slabbed and sold for $250.

 

And a DCCP 9.2 that looked like it had press me written all over and that I picked up at GPA, that I sold for $550 after pressing it to a 9.6.

AF15 from GilbertoTores before he swindled half the boards. ASM 1 signed by Kirby. BA books that are now keys/ semi keys off the stand.

[Hado]

I bought a run of WD off eBay 1-23.

 

Not a bad price, most are in good shape, this one especially

My GSXM 1 that I picked up in the late-90's/early-00's for about 125-ish that graded at a respectable 6.0

 

Last year, I pulled an NYX 3 out of a 50-cent bin at a convention that graded at 9.6.

 

Also in the mid-00's, I picked up a run of New Mutants 60-something thru 100 for about $45. The 98 graded at 9.6 & the 87 graded at 9.2 (nothing special there) last year after just sitting in long boxes for the past decade.

 

Probably a few others as well.

[Xela]

Probably my raw Avengers 1, that I got a couple years back for like less than $200

[namisgr]

Hulk 180 and 181 for a quarter each. Same with X-Men 94. ASM 121, 122, and 129 for 20 cents each. Same with Marvel Spotlight 5 and Hero for Hire 1. GSXM 1 for 50 cents.

 

Those were the days.

[Vikingreed]

Yowza.

I have nothing to compete with these steals...

[gsolol]

Do you still have any of those books still in your collection ? If so post some pics of them if you wouldn't mind.

[Chris_Skeleton]

I've scooped up lots of newly listed BIN modern comics for super cheap, but nothing compares to the high grade BA12 I got at a thrift store last Christmas for $1.49.

[ttfitz]

AF #15 picked up in the late 80s for $300.

 

Answered an ad in the newspaper back in the early 90s, guy was selling his collection, and would only sell a complete title. Only had enough money for one, so I picked up Uncanny X-Man #7-77.

 

I could probably put that last one in the "sorry I missed it" thread, too, as I could have picked up some long runs of other titles at the time if I was willing to lay out the money.
