Story time (sorry, long post incoming):

Last week, I lucked out on finding 3 lots on eBay all on the same day, within about 2 hours of each other. All 3 sales had similar characteristics, in that their titles were somewhat incomplete (as it pertained to key books in the lots), as were the photos. I was super happy to come away winning all 3 lots - there was a bit of a leap of faith involved in 2 of 3, but I'm pleased to say it paid off.

The first lot was listed as a "Batman 379-391 13-book lot," and had this photo as the main (all of the other photos were basically just different angles of this stack):

 

It was listed at a $40 BIN with $5 shipping. I could see the 386 poking out, and the books looked in decent shape, so I jumped at it. Here they are:

 

 

The second lot was from the same seller as the lot above, and was listed as "Batman 408-474 (missing 472)" with annuals and "extras" - a 79 book lot total. This was the main pic, and all the other photos were of the annuals and extras, no additional photos of the core books aside from this pic of the stack:

 

This one was an auction with a $100 starting bid and $13 shipping. I decided to take the chance and bid, and I was the sole bidder. All 79 books showed up as promised, here are some of the highlights:

 

Almost all of the Batman books had prices on the bags - I'm not sure if someone just went through and put prices on their own collection, or if this was some sort of store liquidation or what - here are a couple of examples from before I re-bagged them:

 

 

And finally, the last lot (different seller) was listed as "Venom 1-24 plus annual complete series 2018 NM." This was the main photo, and there was one other photo that was basically just this photo over again but with the ashtray cropped out:

 

This one had a starting bid of $20 with $13 shipping. I was skeptical of it, but I ended up bidding and winning the auction for $44. It came in the mail yesterday. There was a faint cigarette smell to them, but even after just one day of airing out, it's almost completely gone:

 

I was really excited to find all this - I ended up with 117 books total for about $215, with a couple of home run books in there. There are still some great hunts on eBay!

I paid $30 (plus $12.50 shipping) for this crazy Batman-related lot on eBay. Some condition issues on a few of the books as to be expected. But for the ones I wanted the most out of the lot, I was pleasantly surprised - especially on the Joker books and most of the TPBs and prestige-format books:

This was a cool find for me on eBay from earlier this year. The first comic annual ever and one of the first DC (National) titles produced. Very rare. Didn't fit my collection though, so onto Heritage it went. It was fun owning it for a while though.
