I paid a measly $95, couldn't believe it.

 

$95 + 11 shipping = 106

 

(shrug)

 

Great pickup for a great price!

:applause:

 

lol I live in the Uk, so it was $30 shipping, still very happy though.

 

So you paid $125 in total. What do I win? :banana:

 

My admiration. :grin:

 

I'll take whatever I can get. :insane:

Made an unexpected local deal yesterday. This guy was selling some silver/bronze Archie comics, and happened to also have an almost-full run of Planet of the Apes magazine #2 through #22. I figured what the heck and bought them for a well-below-guide price. I haven't seen most of these before -- they're off my usual collecting radar -- but the covers are really dynamic and cool.

Whoa! Nice, what sort of grade?

I'm thinking most are in the VG to FN+ range. Most have solid spines, tight at the staples, etc. Some of them have nice glossy covers, but some have noticeable wear.

 

The seller had them stacked raw in a plastic bag that was inside a box, and his story indicated they had been stored that way in a garage for at least a couple decades. The first thing I did after getting them was put them in sleeves/backings.

Those mags are chok full of great Alcala and Ploog goodness! Here is a link to my (very old) review of the series. Spoilers to those who haven't read this great series.

lol Me and my books are dry Jimmers, although it is trying hard to flood again.

 

Glad to hear. The water level did get quite high.
