Lee K Posted January 26, 2009 Share Posted January 26, 2009 After talking and coordinating with a guy for about two weeks to see approx 50,000 comics from a store backstock that closed sometime in early-mid 90s, today I finally got to go through the first 10% or so of the inventory. And I had a blast doing it. Recently, I looked at about 70 boxes of another store's backstock and the collection was mostly quarter fodder 90s drek. That wasn't the case today. There was a wide range of issues available, and some of it was drek, but there were many issues that made it a pleasure to waste 4 hours on. I'll probably go through some more tomorrow and could take awhile to go through it all. Here's a sampling of what I bought today...and did I mention the collection was chock full of issues with MJ inserts? Starslayer #2 Nice Grell issue... ...but what was really great is what I found on the backing board... Well, I may not be a CGC signature witness, but that's definately Mike's signature and sketch. Heckuva nice find! I love that kind of surprise. Lee Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Twistty1 Posted January 26, 2009 Share Posted January 26, 2009 (edited) That is a cool find.....I've had that happen to me with a couple Neal Adams books I bought as a kid at a convention once.....I still have those books to this day... Found this book in the mail today....I love this cover.... Edited January 27, 2009 by Twistty1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mo Fun Posted January 27, 2009 Share Posted January 27, 2009 (edited) Hey gang, been away from the forum and comics for a while but they always drag me back in. This week I jumped in with both feet. ASM #3 ASM #6 ASM #46 ASM #51 ASM #56 ASM #67 ASM #73 ASM #101 ASM #360 ASM #365 Watchmen #1 League of Extraordinary Gentlemen #1 (regular & Dynamic Forces) Cap #34 9.8 CGC (Dynamic Forces) Marvel Boy #1 (2001) Last week I picked up at a flea market of all things: TOS #1 TTA #1 TTA #12 (I love Gorgilla!) With the bad economy, people are really dumping collections. I went to a shop in Gadsden to discover the owner had just bought an ASM run. Never thought I'd score the Morbius issue. Have been collecting football rookie cards for the last two years, now I'm in a comic book mood. ps: just brought Sandman #1 home, it was worth getting stuck in 5 o'clock traffic for that one.

Mo Fun Posted January 28, 2009 Share Posted January 28, 2009 What grades would you estimate the early issues to be? I'd say the 3 is VG+, 6 is VG the rest are F to VF. TOS & TTA are VG+, of course I would have bought those in almost any condition because I never thought I would run across them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
