Yes, you are correct! I used to have one from back in the day. It was a comic pack with the Gambit Marvel Legends Toybiz figurine Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mr. Spider-Woman Posted March 24 Share Posted March 24 (edited) I've read every Honor Harrington novel, many two or three times. So I had to grab these when I found them in a $1 bin. Then I had to go and buy the rest of this miniseries and the other Honor Harrington miniseries, too.

Popular Post Jesse-Lee Posted March 25 Popular Post Share Posted March 25 Technically not dollar bin diving, but I bought a random 600-book collection for $200 Saturday. Nothing Earth-shattering in there (a lot of Batman and Bat-related run fillers but no keys, a lot of various Spidey titles, Captain Americas, Daredevils, etc.) - but there were a few decent books and a nice handful of modern newsies. Even a couple beat up silver age books. Still very well worth it at a $0.30 per book average - what I don't keep for my PC Batman run will go up for sale at upcoming shows.

Do make sure you do a page check on that Spidey Super Stories 39. That issue's in the period that had "Spidey Stamps", the kid brother to the MVS. littledoom and Jesse-Lee 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BuraddoRun Posted April 10 Share Posted April 10 So besides the Transformers Hasbro Exclusive Cover and the By The Horns Ashcan, these weren't actually $1. They were half of cover price, courtesy of HPB. littledoom, Ken Aldred, ADAMANTIUM and 1 other 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They were half of cover price, courtesy of HPB. By the Horns was a pretty good little series, and that ashcan isn't super common. I'd consider that book a "hold". Frankly, Markisan Naso has had a couple good titles (Voracious, and this one). At some point, someone might notice... Much of the rest of that pickup is just silly for half cover out of a random HPB box. BuraddoRun and ADAMANTIUM 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BuraddoRun Posted April 15 Share Posted April 15 Found a stash of these Saturday (1st pic), then went back Sunday to spend more time digging and found a bunch more (remaining pics). All at HPB for half of cover, so $2.50 a pop. I never bought any of these combo packs polybagged when they were new, but someone mentioned somewhere how the bags disintegrate, and I gotta say, yeah, they definitely do! The Nite Owl book was bagged and boarded but still had the polybag inside, and when I rebagged it, plastic fell everywhere and made a huge mess. Every time I tried to pick up a piece of plastic, it would fall apart into even tinier pieces. So annoying! I'm thankful literally only that 1 book still had its original polybag. The rest looked like they were debagged shortly after they were originally purchased. So Protip: if you have some of these still polybagged, take them somewhere like your garage, or outside (though that's bad for the environment), or a Dexter-like kill room or something and extract your comics carefully so you can re bag-and-board them. That plastic is nasty stuff! Ken Aldred and ADAMANTIUM 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post BuraddoRun Posted April 21 Popular Post Share Posted April 21 Pic 1 is modern, half of cover price buys. The rest came in $7 grab bags. They each had 20-25 comics in them, so these were 28 - 35 cents each. I bought 4 grab bags, and these are the highlights from them, though there was other fun stuff. Most are in F or higher condition, but that GI Joe 24 is pretty beat (though complete).
