Nice find!

To bad it wasn’t #48...

About a year ago I bought a Strawberry Shortcake #1 in high grade for $2. 

I kinda wanted to throw up in my mouth but a score is a score I guess...

Ya I did get my Hope's up fir a second, so I kept looking! I didn't see it though ha

I was born in '81 so I should love alf, but I think that was a show that when on, my mom would go, "Really?!? Your going to watch that?!?!"

 ya kinda, but there was too much sass for the redheaded mother  

She would have just blamed Alf for all the back talk!

Here's an actual max sold win!  I usually avoid it since it's not worth my time, but I got this box super cheap!  I knew the seller running the auction on behalf of the owner, we chatted real estate and he was kind enough to let me leave my business cards on the table.  I already had the green box on the right, so I'm happy to add this to my comic room....

Various finds at an antique mall today. The "Richard" Tracy game is from 1941 and is complete.

Went to a fun garage sale today. Father and son collectors, I picked up a bunch of stuff from them last year. Collection has been cherry picked, so nothing super valuable, but still some fun to be had.

I spotted the UK Marvel reprint mags right away. Not valuable, but still unusual for a garage sale in the suburbs. He had them marked $3, but told me he'd sell them for a buck each if I wanted them, so hey, why not?

Otherwise, I picked up a nice little chunk of really clean Sandman books, a couple of Dave comic vers, some LoSH readers, and other random stuff. The real winner was the Space Usagi 1 for $3. Super sharp copy, couldn't believe I found one. 

Also picked up a box of junked toys, will post those over in the plastic crack thread, and some scans of the Sandman books in the This Week thread.

Fun morning. Happy hunting!

My sister's ex-boss's husband had a moving sale so my sis picked these up for me. I was hoping he had more, but it was just these. Whatever, free comics!

Yard sale box. $100 for a long box of comics. Bought at noon after the sale had been going for five hours. It was under the table, but come on. People are slipping.

This current speculation/flipper era does have a certain air of laziness to it, doesn't it?

Nice score! A couple months before lock down, I bought a full to the top paper box of nice Big Little Books at the flea market around 10:30 AM for $25. They were also under the table. I don't know, nobody knew what they were? Didn't care? Too lazy to bend over? More good titles than bad and nice shape. I was very happy to bend over...

In the context of the story, that is a great score!

Taken out of context, though...

Have you seen some collectors? I don't think they can bend over and they do all of their comic sorting on tables

Starting off the weekend with a $25 garage sale bundle. I'm going to crack open the sealed Batman vhs set and see how nice the Detective 373 mini comic is. The set has the Michael Keaton Batman, Batman Returns and (Kilmer of course) Batman Forever. The Tente set is unfortunately not complete but worth the risk for the price I paid.
