Popular Post Jesse-Lee Posted September 30, 2023 Popular Post Share Posted September 30, 2023 (edited) This was a fun mail day. First is something a little different (not a comic). I don't typically collect cards, but I saw these on eBay and went for them on a whim. In 1966, Topps/O-Pee-Chee printed multiple sets of Batman trading cards due to the popularity of the new Batman television show. Three of the most popular card sets were painted by Norman Saunders. The three sets are nicknamed the Black Bat (series 1, 55 cards), Red Bat (series 2, 44 cards) and Blue Bat (series 3, 44 cards), named for the color of the bat symbol on the front of each of the cards in the set. From what I could gather, full sets of these cards don't come up all that often, and when they do, they're pricey. This set of the Blue Bat puzzle back cards is very low grade, but it's complete. I stumbled across the auction while I was looking for Batman books, and it seemed like it was going under the rader - it had a starting bid of $25 (plus $10 shipping), and it was sitting with no bids until basically the close of the auction. I threw in a last-second bid and ended up being the winner at $28 with only 2 bids. Even though the set is very low grade, I think this was still a great deal at basically $1 a card after shipping/tax, and once I got them in sleeves and top loaders, I think they have a lot of character and look really cool! Â Second, I finally added this book to the collection - Fright 3, first appearance and cover of Freddy Krueger in comics - I've had my eye on it for quite awhile, but it's a pretty expensive book for what it is. I finally got in at basically an entry-level copy - it has a loose (but not popped) top staple, and there's a small tear on the back cover. It was still $55 despite that, but the cover itself looks great, especially in Mylar, and it's for my personal collection so I'm just happy to have a copy!

ADAMANTIUM Posted October 4, 2023 Share Posted October 4, 2023 I think the LCS's bargain slab bin is cool, but it keeps me from saving up to something "meaningful." It's nice to be able to bargain shop, but the grades in those bins probably only satisfy me  not a bad $48  Shazbot, Larryw7, ChrispyC66 and 1 other 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
