I think I paid the most for a copy over a year ago! Doh! 

This book was cheap early 2000's picked up 3 copies VF for less them $100. now same copies will cost me way more. Yes still very desirable GGA book with classic cover.

There was a time in the early 90's when several of the "up north" convention dealers were bringing out small multiples from the Bell Warehouse acquisition. Some were just copies of the same types of books in the Koch Brothers ads, heavier on 1965 and up. There were also books in multiples from the earlier 60's, like Amazing Adult Fantasy 7-14. These were all Fine or better with downgrades coming mainly from storage wear. I remember a deep stack of ASM 23 that had some transfer staining on the back cover of otherwise VF or better copies for $ 50 each for one and cheaper if you took a few. I accidentally took two and a friend told me I was stupid when I returned the extra one the next time that I saw the guy. Early X-MEN were plentiful, with very nice copies of #8, and up, available with a dozen of each to choose from. FF's from #35 up, and many more. It was a cool time to be a flipper/collector. GOD BLESS... \

Another warehouse find was made out of the northwest by Mark Wilson of World's Finest Comics.  In the mid 90s, the company sold from their quarterly catalog multiples of the Marvel 1968 'number ones' (including Hulk 102, Dr. Strange 169, and Cap 100), with some number twos and the two Spectacular Spiderman magazines.  You could choose between copies for each issue in VF/NM, NM, and NM+ condition.

These were a few that I bought at the time and submitted unpressed to CGC.  I also bought sweet copies of Ironman 1 and Subby 1, but don't have scans of them.

Here is a Koch Dolgoff Koch ad, not the full catalog from an ASM from 1988.  The full catalog had prices for G/VG VG/F FN/VF.  This ad is only for VF-NM.  Why didn't I buy more of their higher grade stuff.

I have just read and truly appreciate this thread. Thanks to all who have shared some comic book history here!

This makes me want to throw up. FF #49 and #50 for $15 each?

Joe had three packs of 48-50 he put together.  For a short time, he offered a subscription service where you'd get every Marvel comic from that month in 1965. The next year was every comic from 1966. Originally he said he would offer from 1965 to 1969 but he canceled the thing after a few months.

I know they printed tons but snagged 500 copies of Rai 0 from a yard sale still bundled 6 years ago.  Guy said found them in a storage unit.  I left him with other random valiant he had cases of.  3 for $1 wasn't bad.
