Popular Post Stefan_W Posted August 21 Popular Post Share Posted August 21 Picked up a cool 1800-ish book collection earlier to day. The guy was into Spawn and had the complete run from 1-200 with several having multiple copies, and a ton of other stuff that brought it to 2 long boxes of Spawn. He was also huge into Venom and had all of the mini-series and loads of one-offs including some that I have never seen before. The pic below shows a sample of the highlights. Even though there are no huge books in this one there are tons of reasonably valued ones and a lot that are hard to find.

I will give you first refusal if I ever sell. I am having such a good time recently picking out solid eBay listings and scoping out the weekly auctions on MyComicShop. Ever since I completed the Grendels in 9.8 I no longer feel the pressure to get 9.8s. I just want to get decent books for decent prices. I feel like I just found my sweet spot again. Really cool books but for reasonable prices. ADAMANTIUM 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Really cool books but for reasonable prices. agreed! I have a registry full of non 9.8, that I almost don't know why I ever would expect to "win" but the fun is, "Filling out the forms and playing with the pencils" I guess. Kind of like since they're now slabs to then still possess the collection and enjoy them is writing in the registry, and if I just have too then buy an under copy and or reprint for pics and reading. I appreciate the offer, hopefully I don't need to wait that long! A LCS has Albedo #4 and has for at least a year, I've mentioned before that he is never interested in trade, but surely someday I'll remember AND the money/timing will be right. I haven't been bin diving due to having enough at cgc now with the inner well scenario weighing, and it has given me a chance to save number 1. 2) I still shop thrifty for deals, 3) availability with thrifty in mind 4) impulse purchase and then 5) finally buying things in the past I've wanted but money/timing wasn't right sounds like a lot, but my gut usually (all in the Lord mind you) usually digests those 5 worded guidelines in about 10 seconds. Spoiler :rant: In short it has been nice to save, just makes time to plan, which means patience and a perfect work and that is sometimes. That sweet spot of yours is precious and like a thrill of the hunt type, taking one day at a time sometimes, or for me, is that when the situation slows or you slow to catch your breath it leaves you with accomplishment and pondering, so much pondering kudos! @grendel013 Edited August 25 by ADAMANTIUM grendel013 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That albedo 3 wasn't necessarily on any list of mine but I recognized it as what I thought was a reasonable cost. I did that with some of the Cerebus issues too. Priced too cheap not to buy. The beauty of indie comics though. People fall asleep at the wheel even today. People also rather spend their money on something more mainstream. That albedo 2 is ridiculous though. I'll never own one. Lol. ADAMANTIUM 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
