It's been on my 'get it if I see it' list for a while. Yes. I was very fortunate to come across this copy, that practically went overlooked at that particular event. One of my first purchases upon returning to the hobby. Point Five 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post davidtere Posted February 9, 2022 Popular Post Share Posted February 9, 2022 I figured that I would use my own definition of 'cheap' for this group. When buying a comic (or bidding on one) I usually define cheap as a (cool / fun) comic that I want that will cost me less than $50. That being said... most all of these are recent purchases and I paid under $50 each. Adventure 161 and 132 were part of a group that I recently got from a former collector. He had a complete run from 102 to the 300's. I didn't get them all, but I ended up with a bunch of them all lower to some mid grade in the lower numbers. I estimated that I paid far less than $50 each. Since I was the guy who got third shot at the group...none of the keys, but a fun group nevertheless. I picked these two because I like the covers. Western Fighters 1 I picked up for $50 at SDCC Spec Ed. this year. It's worn, but I love the Simon / Kirby cover Heroic 67 - I was surprised to find in a dealers dollar boxes. Thinking it was a mistake I showed it to him. He didn't care and then...neither did I. Didn't even realize until later it had the little 2 page Frazetta gem inside Donald Duck FC 348 - Found this one at a local swap meet. I had to pay the dealer a few bucks more for the double cover PopKulture, Larryw7, Robot Man and 9 others 12 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yorba Linda. Always look in the boxes. That is where most of the stuff in this thread comes from. My boxes always have all kinds of weird, cool stuff. Not just carp. Check out that cool Super Mystery octopus cover… This was my booth last Sunday. Looked like this most all day.

Hey Point Five, Here's one I know was a pain in the arse for the colorist; He listed a number of variations of the color proofs on ebay a number of years back. The one I have was at least acceptable with its one color. I realize it's not a G.A. item, but it would be a PITA in any time period.
