I bought this 4 hours before the trailer dropped, when I woke up and saw that every listing had disappeared from ebay I thought my order would get cancelled but it arrived. $4 including shipping.

Been on the lookout for this cover since 2019, ordered it from my LCS and it never came, was never able to find any local copies, finally one got listed. The foil on the cover is so well done, needs to be seen in person, really pops.

Won in an auction, I collect Hellcat and Ivan Tao was just waiting to snag a cheap copy that no one bids on.

Premise of this book sounded interesting

Got the Asm 2nd prints all for cover price a couple of weeks ago. 
Superman/Batman #8 was bought last week, a few days before the trailer drop.

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 :shy:

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!

Indeed I'm right there with you. 2017! For the win :)

@Jesse-Lee thoughts, I'm not sure what to do with these, not in the best shape, but thankful that I found these. so idk

They don't look too bad from the photos (maybe the Thrawn is a little bit rough, but the other two look decent) - did you find them cheap? 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... lol

Same wave length and parameters. Because I found them for $2 a piece  :shy:

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

Yep, 100% agree on the same wave length, I would have definitely scooped these up for $2 each. 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

Man that is a lot of nicely done grades! If you pressed, that was some patience that paid off!

Not sure about it but at $2.17 :takeit: 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.

That Captain America issue was one of the first comics I read that brought me into collecting.
