APDallas Posted February 12, 2021 Author Share Posted February 12, 2021 Looking at all these amazing comics gives me hope that there are true gems that can still be had by random happenstance and good luck. The hunt is what make collecting fun! Tri-Color Brian 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If free-range means off the spinner rack at the drugstore or from a neighbor for a nickel or at a swap meet, then yes, they were all free range...in the 1960s and 70s. Oh, and the Showcase #17 cost more than a nickel or 12 cents...it was a quarter... Edited February 12, 2021 by Tri-ColorBrian Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I would love to hear the story how that ended up in a box of random comics! Here's the original post from when I bought it: Posted September 30, 2016 For the last few years I've had ads up that I buy collections. In that time I've talked to 100s of people and have only bought one collection, which had a full run of JLA v1 and some other goodies. I bought my second collection tonight. This guy contacted me a year ago about his father's books he inherited and has stored for like 20+ years. He could never give me good pics but from what I did see it looked to be low grade (GD/VG) copies of ASM from 8 through 130ish, including 129, Fantastic Four 20-30, and Detective Comics 270-300. He said he had around 700 books total, but I never received photos of them. Over the course of a year and many phone calls, we finally came to an agreement tonight on a reasonable price. Literally a year of haggling. We meet up in a parking lot and all of the books are smashed together in ziploc bags or wrapped in saran wrap. Guy was pretty creative making bags, no boards of any sort of course. Everything is there though and I think I can make a pretty good profit so we do the deal. ASM 8 through 130, not many missing between 20 and 60 but theres a lot of gaps between 60 and 90, then hardly any from 90 to 130, lots of duplicates Superman 199 through 234, barely any missing Detective 270ish through 300ish Neal Adams Detectives (my favorites, especially the 408) Submariner 1-66, none missing 201 EmilC, jcjames and Math Teacher 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
