What if Wizard is full of it?

I was working at a comic shop during the height of X-Files mania, like 95-97, and man alive, those X-Files comics sold like hot cakes. The #1 issue was like a $40-$50 wall book, and we couldn't even hang onto them. Insanity. I still pick them up when I find them in dollar binds because of those times, I just can't let go of it. (Same thing with Gen 13, former wall book that is dollar bin fodder.)

Hey @Shinwar I'm glad I didn't miss your NYCC episode :) 

Yes the lines and limited etc can be tough, I'm glad that there were some decent people there, and that you ended up taken care of!

You stuck with the Immortal Hulk the whole way lol been a while, but I'm glad! Congrats on making it out to NYCC and having some fun! :headbang:

That’s awesome! I was lucky to score a 9.8 for issue #1 off eBay a few years ago for $40. I have yet to read any of the comics, I’m curious thou.

Some pick-ups from past 2-3 weeks. Some are from recent deliveries. The Avatar FCBD books are actually ones I found in my own back issues/short boxes. I got a few of the Marvel Zombies #1 (spec'ing a bit on E. Bloodstone). I got some a few other Bloodstone covers, but couldn't find them when taking this picture. I overpaid for the 1:50 Thor #5....I bought from Mile High with their discount, but I feel like this book is going to take off and its a hard one to find. It's a solid 9.8 candidate....

This was an auction I won. I think I got it for $60 shipped. I believe with a press, it will regrade at 9.6 or 9.8....
