I'm really hoping for more invincible "comics", It's as if 150 issues shouldn't be the end of the morality tale Still I'm not sure the world can get the motivation, with the type of media involved Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Corona smith Posted February 16, 2023 Share Posted February 16, 2023 (edited) I love Michael Turner but don’t understand why anyone would pay those prices on a book that literally came out a decade after the original. To each their own. Edited February 16, 2023 by Corona smith Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
icp004 Posted February 17, 2023 Share Posted February 17, 2023 Of all three Marvel Darth Vader series, this was the only additional print that had eluded me. Nothing special but I’m still happy to have picked it up! Kerdese, Blankedboy, ADAMANTIUM and 1 other 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If it were me, I'd likely flip them if I found them cheap enough. But I'm like you, I definitely would grab these if I found them for the right price, and then I'd wonder exactly what I should do with them because I don't "really" collect these - which is why half my collection is so scatterbrained...

Same wave length and parameters. Because I found them for $2 a piece I'm just not sure how well I know them, as it is below the radar. I know the books well enough, like you, to know it was worthy to pick up. I have the the 9.6 2nd print. So I mainly picked this ups in rough shape due to the 1st print Jesse-Lee 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sometimes with books like this I'll bundle them with other books as a lot if I'm selling on eBay, just to make sense with shipping and my time it takes to list and pack. I personally make sure to disclose every single flaw (on every book I sell, but that especially goes double on moderns in the F/VF range) so I don't have a buyer who gets upset. I know some people might not see the value in selling $8-10 books, but when you paid $2 each and you can maybe get $20 or so out of a lot sale, why not? My goal if I find cheap books to flip is always 3x-4x my money spent. I go for consistent singles instead of home runs, it's been fun and worked fairly well for me so far.

Bless you, understood, and Lord willing there is hope, if it were to be given with joy in board raffles of other type events we enjoy. It's nice to have provision, no matter how small. It's the only way to multiply it. Don't despise small beginnings Jesse-Lee 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ADAMANTIUM Posted March 6, 2023 Share Posted March 6, 2023 (edited) Not sure about it but at $2.17 decent read, some heart felt love for a kid that grows up in the Cap. Other than that I'm pretty full up in batwoman, so long haul or just out of plain interest.

Awesome finger bends and all, was worth just to go for broke at $2.17 Glad that I could feel something today, your story was hearty meat that nourished the soul. I'm just at a loss for words, as it takes time to read and enjoy, can't get the time back. I know what I mean, gets lost as the translation may take another read at it! Go Cap! My favorite part was when he says through me the shield, and the woman keeps saying he's got potential time for the file cabinet! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
