Hard to believe in a post like that, that hulk 181 is still the highest paying player. I guess heroes vs villains Yeah. The ASMs are a bit on the low grade side. The 3 and 4 specifically. The 6 is actually pretty solid. Namtak and ADAMANTIUM 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nicely done, I always waited for that GL #83 to get more steam. I had a copy yet it seemed underwhelming at first. That is some serious ink... I think Cry for Dawn, once upon a time, was the 1st statue my brother ever bought for himself the one where she goes after some kind of crown. It's a series that doesn't get talked about all that often Ira K 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's a Neal Adams cover that should be enough for people to want it. ADAMANTIUM 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’ll start with the low hanging fruit and go up from there. Wow, if I managed to get those books over the course of a year, i'd say it was a successful year... but in one day???

A good friend of mine wanted a book I had. A book that I could’ve sold pretty easily for quite a chunk of cash. But, instead, I decided to do trade for him instead of cash since cash is a bit tight for books, for him at the moment. letsgrumble, MetalPSI and Larryw7 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post letsgrumble Posted October 19, 2021 Popular Post Share Posted October 19, 2021 This week the last three months in your collection? I haven't done this in a while.
