With this issue I started officially collecting (putting comics in bags and boards and trying to read them carefully and store them.) 
-Didn’t succeed, in preserving them in high grades 🤣🤣🤣 mostly good to VG condition for another 4+ years… but at least I started trying 👍

great book @ADAMANTIUM

There’s no way I can keep getting this lucky.  Huge runs of modern Batman and Punisher at a dollar or less each just sitting there.  That’s half of the All-Star Batman run for $3.50.

I broke my $1 or less rule with the Image Firsts Walking Dead.  I figure it’s worth at least that much so no harm.

I passed on a ToD #2 9.8 some 9 years ago, and finally got another chance - and got it Well got it for about 3 times the previous price  Currently there are only 5 9.8 copies in the Census and none better:

 

Back then I passed on ToD #10 9.8 too, when it sold for nearly 2k - looking back there are indeed a few choices I do regret, lol.

About 100 in hand pre-screening for grading...

Going to be a long night still up evaluating each one. Sold 25 in about a day on my eBay store in the 9.2 to 9.6 range raw.

An impulse purchase.  I’ve never owned a copy, so why not?

@DocHoppus182 same here— The TOS was an upgrade, but the Shield Wizard was total impulse just because it was in front of me.

Bought from Goldin, MCS, and EBay last couple of weeks.

Beautiful book @Rune 

I know there are a lot of great ones, but #2 is my favorite T.O.D cover. And this copy is outstanding!!  Congratulations!!!
