Expand Congrats on completing the set, that's great. Love the 30 centers. Found it at the LCS for $50, I traded for it, about $62 cost to me, for these two! Only vg but I'll take it, as it was more my collecting focus, than the $62 of books I traded. I traded under copies of x-men 99 and 95 only fair condition and some invincible under copies like #68 1st dinosaurus and #75, which I already submitted one and came back 9.6. I think a vf punisher limited #2 was in there as well. So dealer got something that'll sell for him I think. B2D327 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post F For Fake Posted March 27, 2022 Popular Post Share Posted March 27, 2022 Hey all! Time for my Lexington Comic and Toy Con report. As always, I don't think I have enough to say to make it worthy of a thread unto itself, so I'll hijack this one for a couple of posts. Mike, if you need to move it, I understand. So, I haven't been to a "real" comic show since before the pandemic started, and I haven't been to this show in about four years. This is the tenth year, and it's amazing how it's grown. I used to go for the entire weekend, but once attendance crossed the 25k mark, I stopped going. Just too many people for my taste. However, they have added a four hour "Comics Only preview night" for comic shoppers on Thursday, and Friday afternoon is also easy enough to get around, so I had a good time. I had no real goals or anything on my list. My plan was to stick to the cheap stuff, which is what I like best anyway. I wasn't even looking at wall books, which is good, because prices are $$$. If there were deals on keys, I sure didn't see them. So, I stuck to the bargain bins. As for con chatter, I heard multiple people ask dealers for The Last Ronin. There were also a lot of turtle books in general. However, I chalk this up to the fact that Kevin Eastman was going to be at the show Sat/Sun. Otherwise, I heard requests for horror titles, Dave Stevens, and lots and lots of window shoppers for the big keys. I did personally observe someone pay $3600 cash for a CGC 8.5 Scooby Doo #1, so I guess that's something? There was a pretty decent selection of comic vendors this year. I felt like in the last couple of years I attended, the show was being overrun by Funko Pops and suchlike. So this was nice to see. I was going to take a lot of wall pics, but I was beat by Friday night, and quit after a couple. There were a lot of nice books there, but I think Buzzard Brothers and DT Comics had the best. So here are some wall pics. Buzzard apparently did an IG live thing on Thursday, someone told me they sold a book for $20k? I'm not sure, i didn't see that. But they had some sweet stuff. Anyway, wall pics, then I'll get to my haul. onlyweaknesskryptonite, nepatkm, djpinkpanther67 and 6 others 8 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post F For Fake Posted March 27, 2022 Popular Post Share Posted March 27, 2022 Ok, now my cheap junk. With the exception of the last couple of scanned books, I didn't pay more than $10 for any of this stuff. The first couple of pics are $1-$3, then $5-10, then $10. I got a nice mix of the kind of cheap junk I like: newsstands of 90's drek, DCU variants, copper "keys", some Mignola, some Aliens, and other assorted goodies. I got the Dead Air and the Floyd Farland from First Aid, who always have a couple of random weird books that would appeal to me. Dead Air is a white whale for about 30 years for me. I was determined that one day I'd find one in a bin somewhere. I didn't want to buy one online, I wanted to hunt it down. $30 later, it's mine! Since I also picked up the Acme Novelty first print, he showed me the Floyd Farland, which is a Chris Ware book I've never owned before. It's not a book I'd normally care about having in a slab, but I figured it was unlikely I'd run across a nicer one anytime soon. So, a lot of cheap stuff, and I'm pleased. It was fun to dig into the bins again, though my back and feet were killing me by the time I got back home. Good times. oldmilwaukee6er, ADAMANTIUM, Larryw7 and 8 others 11 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MCS shows 3 (A,B,Texas) but I am leaving off the Dynamic Forces Signed as they are still the same cover. I also have been looking for a newsstand, but as of yet have not seen one on any cover. Spoiler EDIT: Just looked at yours again and it looks like cover A as cover B looks like it doesn't have the title and more of a "Virgin" edition.
