I came rushing home since I got the notice that boxes 2 & 3 arrived today and I was not disappointed.  Azkaban completely hit it out of the park with so many cool books and fun figures for my comic book shelves.  The big item was a graded Avengers 85 which I don’t have.  High grade magazines to my 1st pulp - the list of great books and items just kept coming.  I hope my mystery box comes close to living up to the standards he set.  Thanks again for the great mystery box(s)!

I am so happy these got to you!

I looked at the tracking sometime last week and saw that the package had bounced around between Canada/US a couple times and was nervous.

Check out these books from by buddy David @zoso99 he filled a few holes of my X-Men run, I had quit cold turkey collecting comics after they turned one of my favorite characters Tony Stark into a killer and started renumbering Iron Man and the Avengers I just threw up my hands and I was out until I went to work 21 years ago at the company I'm at now and became best friends with the guy who's books I've been selling and he got me back into comics. David had me send him a list of some of the books I was missing in some of my run and he sent these  and also sent this awesome slabbed 9.8 of ASM 

if you haven't checked out his Youtube channel you need too  

or his ebay site

I received a phone call over lunch yesterday about "what ever you ordered was to heavy and I am not moving it...it also better not be expensive" box that was delivered on the porch. 62 pounds later! I drug it into the game room to go through after work and explaining that this was like totally a present from some internet stranger named @HighRadArt..... really you have to believe me

Inside contained six 10lb medium boxes stuffed with the most glorious mid-80's to early 00's drek you could have ever hoped for. I spent a good portion of last night skimming through early Image, Caliber, Eclipse, Teckno, Lair, Antarctic, Lightning, PC, Jademan, Top Cow, and so many other companies. Then one final box contained the money shot. A nice silver age Green Lantern run, Spider-man, Batman, Sub-Mariner, and Fantastic Four books.... oh and an Iron Fist #1.

I love mystery boxes from boardies because when asked for a theme or what I like I can reply with the following and be perfectly happy with anything received:

Quote

I lost a lot of my 90's junk comics/cards in a storage locker flood so feel free to offload anything from that era (Broadway, Eclipse, Antarctic Press, Ex-Mutants, Mantra, etc).

Which is the main reason i'm always looking for what most consider "Drek".  I spoilered the pictures below so open at your own risk

STACKS OF BOOKS:

Spoiler

Drek of the best; your 90's relived #1:

Spoiler

Drek of the best; your 90's-00's relived #2:

Spoiler

Full run of Nowhere Men (a great series) and some guy with metal fists:

 

Spoiler

Spider-Bat Fantastic Submarine Guy:

 

Spoiler

Green Light Hal:

Spoiler

 

In addition to all of this there is a near complete run of Wildcats 3.0, runs of 90's Captain America, Kilroy, Alpha Flight, high # Valiant Solar run, and just to much to name. Even now I am finding new stuff since I didn't notice until I took the pictures that the Fantastic Four on top of the pile is signed by McKone!

I am always in awe with the complete generosity of board members but this is even to much for me so I will believe what I replied to highradart with as how this all came about:

Quote

I have to assume you roughed up some 90's kid and his father then sent me their entire collection as some kind of super villain power move... and I'm ok with that.
