Yikes, the stuff of nightmares.

This happened to me the other day, with the X-Men#131 I posted earlier. Packed by Dave and Adam', one slab, big box, and padding, so it survived!

This collection arrived tonight! One of my oldest friends, going back to high school, asked me about selling his collection. I offered to buy it outright, which he preferred. Last week he dropped off the toys, and tonight he dropped off 18 shorts of comics.

I’m not expecting anything mindblowing. He was a reader, not a speculator, so I’m expecting runs of 80’s-2000’s stuff, likely heavy on DC. 

I paid him a slightly inflated “friend” bulk rate. But if I find anything special, I’ll shoot him some more money. He said he just wanted them out of the house and i could have anything I wanted, but i’ll take care of him.

So, expectations aren’t high, but I took a peek in the first box and found this JLA Avengers set, so I think I’ll be in good shape.

I’ll report back if I find anything else of note!

Lol I appreciate your humbleness, and maybe I'm ignorant.

That is a casual readers collection?  1980 to 2000 I guess sounds like a long time to me, to be a casual observer, so really hoping for you. :cheers: and of course your friend!

Man my kid collection fit into 2 Corona case boxes  :roflmao:

I think I may have a green eye, but truly, looks promising and a bonding time :x

Hey there! He was a passionate reader and fan, but not one to buy speculator books, or with an eye to value. So, I expect big long runs of mainstream titles, as opposed to random “collectible” books, if that makes sense. He was a big DC guy, so I’m expecting runs of Morrison, Johns, stuff like that. But he also took very good care of his stuff, so if there are any random winners, they should be in nice shape.

That's definitely admirable! I was lucky to go by the LCS a few times, grocery store was were it was at for time for me at least. Report back! And have fun!
