Bluemedgroup Posted January 30, 2021 Share Posted January 30, 2021 Probably my best Return on Investment in the wild find was a Jetsons 1 raw I found for $10 at my Half Priced Books. I had it graded by CGC and sold it for $450 a few months this later. Tri-Color Brian, BlowUpTheMoon and Chief1332 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Different places, mostly swap meets and class mates from school. Most of my silver comics were found in the wild, but I didn't feel like posting 600+ covers... In fact, I probably bought over 100 of them off the spinner rack at the store, like those last 4 DCs I posted.

I was a 70s kid and only got what was on the newsstands at the time (so no SA) for about 4-5 years, then re-entered collecting about 7-8 years ago.

My dad would tell me about how protective his brother was of his comics even as a kid, he would laugh as he expained how my uncle (as a teen at the time) would first "train" people how to handle a comic and how to turn the pages before showing them. This was in the 40's! The horror of it all was that, while my uncle was serving in Korea during the war, his mother (my grandmother) cleaned out all his "junk" one day and threw away all of his comics! I cannot imagine!

Tri-Color Brian Posted February 11, 2021 Share Posted February 11, 2021 I guess that's one reason why I left all my comics in a locked, 6 ft high steel cabinet when I went to college. Dave2739 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
