My top 3 - Al Jaffee's copy of the Ridiculously Expensive Mad This beauty that I picked up at an estate sale on the cheap And my favorite pickup - purchased at NYCC - its a handbound compilation of 31 Spectre stories from More Fun, ranging from issues 54 - 96, with a cutout of #54 on the front cover, issue 66 on the interior - love it!

From an ask at a garage sale/house cleanout this morning - worked out to less than $1 per issue. Low grade, but most were complete (including the keys pictured).

$2 each at an estate sale

These came from an ask at a garage sale - guy said he had some comics, and told me to come back in 20 minutes after they finished setting up and he would bring them out - glad I circled back. Came out to a little over $2 per book 2 of the Dark Knights #1s are first prints - other two are second prints A near complete run of X-men from 134 - 179 (only missing 137 and 143)

Some highlights from an estate sale purchase - worked out to about $2.50 a book. Mostly early Silver Archie with a smattering of DC Romance

Thanks - it's definitely a pretty rare piece to find - the parts usually sell for $75-$100 and up on eBay, and a complete one mint in box sold for $16K - just haven't seen very many box-only examples.

Picked this up at the flea market this morning - was shocked to see it sitting there - no belt but I think the box is very rare. The vendor said he got it out of the attic of an estate and had been sitting there for 50 years.

Here's the ranges according to the USPS website Pricing and product details USPS Ground Advantage prices are based on weight and zone (distance between ZIP Codes™). See the proposed prices at Postal Explorer. Weight ranges are: Up to 4oz Up to 8oz Up to 12oz Up to 15.999oz Each 1 pound increment up to 70lbs

My understanding is that the old first class pricepoints (4oz/8oz/12/16oz) are not changing, but they will now include $100 insurance on all packages for no additional cost (except media mail)

These came out to about $8 each at a garage sale - DD 5 is missing the last page (in addition to what's missing from the top left of the cover)

Had an unusually successful day of comic hunting yesterday - unusual because (1) it was Sunday and (2) I found comics at 2 garage sales! First was on a reverse ask - the seller asked if I was interested in buying comics based on the Comic Con shirt I was wearing - I said yes, and her husband soon emerged with a tote full of about 100 late 1970s comics and 15 TPBs - I asked how much for all of it - he said $20 - I said sold. He didn't want to part with his Spider-man issues, however (and he showed me a few nice Marvel Treasury editions that he didn't want to sell either) - the highlights - At the next one, I asked if he had comics, he went back into the house and emerged with the pile below. After a little haggling, we settled on $60 for all of it. The highlights (glasses are attached inside Captain EO, and the DKR #1 is a first print - #2 is a third print) - Overall, very happy I went out on a Sunday (especially since I couldn't go out on Saturday)

Third Eye Comics has the spoiler Spidey #7 in stock for $3.99 (one per customer)

From an ask at a garage sale this morning - he said he had some Star Wars comics if I was interested - I said sure - he brings out these three boxes I open the first box and see this flyer Then I took a look inside - I ask him if $150 was his price for all, and quickly paid him When I got home, I saw that it was a complete, high grade run from 38-107, with all 3 annuals, ROTJ 1-4, plus 2 paperbacks. Also included #1 (mid-grade), 2, a reprint of 4, and 5, and randomly 17. Always pays to ask!

A recent two item pick up from Heritage - first is a sealed copy of the Ridiculously Expensive Mad Second is the same book, but with a tattered cover and a surprise inside. Al Jaffee's personal copy - and this was on the end page (which was not shown in the auction listing )

I'm in as well
