I've had a couple of interesting purchases recently. This morning, I stopped by a yard sale advertising trading cards. Talked to the lady a bit, and "her brother started Comic-Con. All the good stuff is sold already, and this is the stuff left. These <insert random trading card 4 card uncut promo> is $20 on eBay." I passed on those and picked up a small stack of items at a good price. I'm not a huge Batman fan, but I snatched these up. Still researching them. I have a bunch of other stuff to sort and research too. More to come.

A few more of the items. Not pictured were promos for X-Men, Mars Attacks, and Star Wars.

Is that a binder/clipboard? Does it open?

Yes, it opens! There's a pocket/folder on the left and clip on the right for a pad of paper.

Connected with a guy whose wife was basically making him get rid of his childhood. Took these and a bunch of comics off his hands. Nothing amazing, but a fun trip down memory lane.

Great pickup! The Garbage Pail Kids were the worst (I mean best!) 👍

Picked up several things at an auction and a local comic store today.  Just a couple highlights...The games were from the auction....The Fightin 5 #40 is a super key book at the moment!

Thanks. Good to learn something every day. If we had to do that in LA it would really be a mess. This is the ultimate melting pot. 

The last time I was in LA I spoke Spanish almost exclusively. My Spanish sounds like five year old speaking English but it gets the job done.

I Live in Toronto, 
and saturday we enter the grey zone.

That means we can open stores with limited capacity
mask and safe distances mandatory.

So I hit my favorite comic book source BMV
and I have a few complete sets
total price: $ 47.37 canadians...

Went to the thrift store yesterday that was suggested by 1Cool (sounds better than saying I visited his honey hole!). Not much left that was flippable, but I managed to snag some books that were on my lists (Justice League, DC Comics Presents, Fury of Firestorm) as well as a few upgrade copies of books.  The digest was my favorite find, since I needed it to complete my DC Special Blue Ribbon Digest run.  Also found a few books that are currently or recently hot, although things change so quickly it’s hard to be sure.  The avengers 186 was probably my most flippable find.  The last picture is from a local game exchange store that also had comics.  Again, hard to be sure if they are still hot, but the price was right. All in all a good day trip. Thanks again to 1Cool.

The standups are amazing.  I'll have to find some now.

Picked up all of the first-series Valiant last issues for a buck each at my favorite junk shop Saturday afternoon - Bloodshot 51, X-O 68, Magnus 64, Solar 60, Eternal Warrior 50, Shadowman 43, etc. Plus some other odds and ends to round out the visit.

I left you something??  Glad you found some stuff but hopefully left me some books for my next trip out there in a few months.  Is the owner still shuffling around telling people about his health issues?

Nice! Some collectors still aren't hip to the fact that there's some cool early Bruce Timm art/covers in several of the MotU mini comics, and they're not easy to find in grade.

Reminds me of my brother’s wife. If it were up to her, he would have to get rid of everything he ever owned before he met her. She HATES coming to MY house...

Picked this 1966 artifact up over the weekend at an antique shop. Got it real cheap because she could not confirm it was complete. I was pleasantly surprised when I got home...
