Please pardon my dirty scanner. Thanks to @jsilverjanet for helping me fill a nice, mostly consecutive run of my missing issues: And then I got these from a couple of different eBay sales: Nowhere near complete myself, but more or less suffering from the same later printings. That's quite an accomplishment Jesse-Lee 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's quite an accomplishment Thanks! I'm still about 14 issues away, and half of that is finishing the final "City at War" run, which can get a bit pricey. I do have a #62 on the way that I got for a decent price though - that's the final issue and tough to find in a decent enough grade. The "big" books I still need (not counting a 1st-3rd print #1 or a 1st-2nd print #2) are a #4 (either or both printings, I'm not chasing the error) and a Raphael 1st print, which is technically a one-shot, but I'm counting those too. jimjum12, nepatkm and ADAMANTIUM 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Amen! Fine goal, I started that "goal" too, but it quickly diminished due to prices or value, I still tried to pick up "keys". I admire the pluck though, are they all slabs yet? Or a grade minimum set? These are just questions, perhaps about the driveor ambition I usually take what I can get!

These are just questions, perhaps about the drive I usually take what I can get! Only the #1 4th print and the #3 1st print are graded - both a 9.2, but just coincidentally. I'm with you on the "take what I can get," but I've tried to set a minimum when possible at the VF (8.0-8.5) range. I'd say many are above that though. A lot I've actually found "in the wild" at shows or shops, but now I've been picking up individual issues or small lots on eBay too. I finished the Tales of the TMNT Vol. 1 run - only 7 issues - almost completely from finding them in the wild, except for issue 4 (first Rat King) that came from eBay.

I had sold my first copy of Flash #108 about 5 or 6 years ago.The first iteration only cost me 20 or 25 Mad Magazines with a trade at the LCS.

Popular Post Jesse-Lee Posted September 24, 2022 Popular Post Share Posted September 24, 2022 (edited) On a short trip and got to pop into a couple stores. First was a record shop that advertised comics. Everything was really pricey, but then I saw a pack of Batgirl 1-12 for $40, which was pretty decent for these highlights: Then another store had some decent back issue bins. I was running out of time, but found these: Edited September 24, 2022 by Jesse-Lee ADAMANTIUM, Namtak, F For Fake and 6 others 9 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
