So I wait years to get these books finally in their new home. Got 7 lots in today, lots of Golden Age books, and made a video to savor the event. The highlights are in the thumbnail (first Captain Marvel Jr and first Mary Marvel). Awesome books. invest in a utility knife. It’ll make opening boxes much easier.

I remember your last video years ago, glad you took the time because this one seemed a long time coming. Glad for your purchases as I've often told people this is what my dad born in 1940 remembers, and I got him a modern Shazam to read from 1976 or whatever. I've often seen the 40's editions at stores, but he hasn't got the bug yet 😂 Glad that you afforded shipping finally, and it's understandable about cgc, worse case scenario ship them back to heritage. For now I'm sure you're glad to have them, most looked in sturdy shape for a read if there aren't reprints somewhere, but I'm sure you've thought that through already Anyway thanks for taking the time to do the video!

Yup it was a really long time coming. And all these years I had no clue if that Captain Marvel Adventures 25 looked good or not. But it turned out to be the best looking of the bunch so I am overjoyed. Thank you so much for you comment and thanks to all the wonderful people here for letting me share my love and passion with you.

Stefan_W Posted April 7 Share Posted April 7 Just ran across this bad boy in a collection of trade paperbacks and hard covers I bought earlier today, and I am seriously considering sending it in for grading. Does anyone know whether thick trade paperbacks like this go under regular comic submissions? Artifiction, littledoom and Browns81 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The best CGC .5 I have ever seen and just couldn't pass it up for the price. Used to have a low grade raw copy many years ago so it's nice to have a copy back in the collection. Beauty of a 0.5‼️👍❤️ Cushing Fan 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post BuraddoRun Posted April 10 Popular Post Share Posted April 10 (edited) Alright! I guess this is the best place to post my recent random assortment of cool books I found at Half Price Books over the last couple of weeks. These weren't half of cover price, though. But still, fun finds for good prices! The 2 biggies are stickered, but the Archies were $2 a pop and the TMNT Loot Crate reprint was $10. *EDIT: Ha! I was fooled! I also bought what I thought was Alias #1 for $20, but I realized after taking a picture that it's the Marvel's Greatest Comics $1 reprint. So that one I'm returning!

Popular Post Browns81 Posted April 13 Popular Post Share Posted April 13 Picked up some nice Punisher run books to finish off the Eurohit story (I have the rest of the issues already). also thrilled to add PPSM 1 back to my collection for what I thought was a fair $35. I bought this back in the early 90s for $50 and sold it for peanuts so it’s more of a nostalgia buy than value, but I had gift cards to use anyway.

Popular Post RayJr Posted April 14 Popular Post Share Posted April 14 Today’s pickups from two different LCS @dynamitecomics definitely got me going broke with the variants of the new Thundercats series. I can’t help it though since they were part of my childhood in the 80’s. Thunder Thunder Thunder Thundercats Hoooo! added 5 more to the Firestorm, the Nuclear Man, Vol. 2 (1982-1990) vol 1 run. I’m at 74 issues with 26 more to go to complete the series. ADAMANTIUM, BA773, BuraddoRun and 2 others 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
