Phoenix Comicon - what I got

[ubiquiti]

Okay - to call it a comicon is a bit of a stretch. It is still pretty small, but there was some cool stuff there. Here is a rundown of my purchases:

Batman 200 VF- - $35

Avengers 96 VF/NM - $30

X-Men 124 NM - $33

the entire Owlsey/Bright PowerMan/IronFist Run - $7.50

Indiana Jones 1-15 - $6

Kojack book and record set from Peter pan records circa 1977 - $.75 - Who loves ya, baby?

Contest of Champions 1(1982) NM - $1.25 - BOO-YAAA!!!!

I also wanted to buy this Conan #1 - but it was Fine + at best and the guy wanted $100 for it - I offered him $80 and he told me to go away.

All in all - a fun morning.

Nice get on the Batman 200....looks like you didn't find any Black Panther stuff though....

[ubiquiti]

naw....

I usually have to hit ebay up for that stuff. For whatever reason - Black Panther is REALLY not popular in Phoenix.

I'm sure I'll score big in San Diego.

It's not the size, it's how you negotiate that counts!

You're lucky you found that Batman 200 before me, because I would have snagged it. I saw a set of Crisis On Infinite Earths 1-12 set (avg VF) for $12 that I passed on. When I saw there was nothing better to do with my money, it was gone. I regret that one.

No - not me. Collect pre-code horror!

Yeah - the Fantasy Comics guys had that one. They had some other pretty nice stuff as well hanging up on their display thingy.

I found it odd that Atomic Comics didn't set up a booth...but since everything they have is overgraded by one grade and overpriced at least 25% - they would have set up for nothing. I doubt anyone would have bought anything.

An Atomic employee told me the other day, "We don't grade or price according to Overstreet." So I guess they think people will choose to pay prices they choose? I just get angry every time I go into an Atomic store. Sure, I'll stop in on Wednesday to get my 2003 Overstreet, but I have a feeling I'l walk out of there angry and empty-handed. But they'll have plenty of Yu-Gi-Oh for sale.
