Count Drekula strikes again 

 

That Superman/Dr Fate cover is SO underrated!

Had another chance at some of Joe Sinnott’s 50’s file copies today. Picked up the X-Men 50 (not a Sinnott file copy) just because I never had one, it’s a nice copy, and it doesn’t seem to be getting cheaper, unlike a lot of its peers. One of a few books that I don’t think I’d have saved money by waiting on, so El Cheapo Grande finally pulled the trigger.

Superman #2. It comes with a nice repro cover too.

Scored a few nice deals on some great books for my Bat collection:

Checked out a great comic store in my town I’d never been to.  Tons of back issues and IMO fair prices.  Bought a bunch of $4 or less back issues including crazy Superman clickbait covers that I love so much.  Great way to spend a few hours.

Pick up from a local auction.

Forgot to scan this with the others.

Went to a great and fun local convention today to hunt some stuff. I thought it might be fun to break down what I got based on where I grabbed it and how much I paid...

First booth in the door - I got these in the 5 for $20 bins. The Batman 6 has some pretty rough gouges in the cover, like someone scribbled hard on a piece of paper that was directly on the cover (hence why it was in the 5-for-20). But even as a Batman collector I actually still didn't have this book, so I figured it was worth the $4 until I get a high grade copy. The Batman 286 is lower grade, but there's no way I'd pass on an intact copy of that book for $4:

 

Second booth had some wall books, priced books, and then a couple of $5 and $2 bins. I got these from their $5 bins:

 

And then these from their $2 bins - the Power Rangers is low grade, but again, for $2 I figured it was worth it:

 

Next booth, I hit the $2 bins, and I got these 3 books (marked as $3 each, but they were actually $2):

The dealer at that table also bagged my purchases in this sweet vintage Marvel 25th Anniversary bag, which was pretty awesome:

 

The next booth I went to had $5 bins, so I got these - the Batman 615-619 were packed in one bag together for $5, so basically $1 each:

 

The final booth I bought from had a bunch of 3 for $10 boxes. I got 16 books, and he gave them to me at the 15 book price:

It's worth mentioning that I own an arcade that has a stryder game, so it has appeal. There is something to having knowledge to know what it is your looking for, and you've got the games bug. I'm barely hanging with Nintendo Power Comics and some Pokémon cards. There is a lot to learn!

Cheers!

I really need to visit the other parts of the boards with the VHS and or cards and or games, ahem, more often!
