I have been so inspired by everyone on this board that I decided recently to go out into the wild and try to score some barn fresh books.

 

I have driven all over a 2 state region only to have people no-show, or want a mint for poor books. It is very difficult for me to walk away but I have done a lot of driving and precious little buying.

 

So, a guy posted online that he would be selling some comics in his community center parking lot for $3 each. Best of all, he was only 2 miles from my house.

 

I went in to work early so that I could leave a little early, and to my surprise I was the only person who showed up.

 

Most of the books I bought were in better than expected shape. The pictures that follow represent about half of what I bought. He was a real gentleman, and was kind enough to give me a volume discount.

 

Thanks to all you boardies for the continuous inspiration.

Best of all, he loved my wife and said that when he comes across more comics I will be the first person he calls.

Ultimately, it is nice to have these out of a storage bin and into a personal collection where they will be cared for.

 

Now, I have leads on 2 storage locker collections. If I could only get those guys to answer my calls.

 

Many thanks again to all of you in the community.

You don't know me, but I have enjoyed your company on these boards all the same.
