A local person has been slowly selling me his run of ASMs. I picked up issues 86-128 yesterday. Not taking a pic of every comic in that group but here are some of the highlights.

Was it in decent condition? Most of what I’ve seen in the last two decades would be 6.5 and below.

I remember it being pretty nice.  This had to have been about 20 years ago.

Took me some time to find an affordable copy of this one. Happy to have it in the collection.

Catching up a bit here. The Avengers is an upgrade that involved the under copy.

Found some nice deals recently, including a few harder-to-find TMNT books:

This TMNT Vol 2 #13 is the error version, with the front and back covers swapped - here's a pic showing that the back cover is on the front of the book:

I have been passively after this book for over ten years. About 5 years ago I made the decision to get more serious about it and I started watching auctions and reached out to collectors who I thought might have leads. It really proved to be a tough book.

This particular copy sold at Heritage in November and I was pretty far outside the winning bid.   At that point I had pretty much given up. It just seemed expensive for a low grade copy. 

When it went back up for sale, I was very grateful to work something out with @mycomicshop .  Without their flexibility I wouldn't own this copy today. 

Also special thanks to @WolverineX who has been my comic therapist over the last several years, as I complained after every failed auction.

It's been years!  Congratulations. 

What a book

I've decided to start dipping my toes deeper into the history of the medium:

• Men of Tomorrow
• The 10-Cent Plague

[StillOnly25Cents]

was ecstatic to pick this up this week at the price I paid 

my first and only Stan Lee signed book

unfortunately though you can't see it via the photo below (and it was not shown or made know in the auction listing) the whole entire case is riddled with Newton Rings 

 

RIP JRSR

The 10-cent Plague is my favorite comic book, book. 

Great history, it goes deep on certain artists and then of course the Senate trials of the 1950s. Very well written.

Posting these as I continue sorting, making lists, and getting pictures of that massive collection of modern newsstands that I picked up.
