Popular Post Bird Posted June 10, 2017 Popular Post Share Posted June 10, 2017 (edited) I bought a collection! I don't want to hog the garage sales/estate sales/craigslist thread (and this was not really any of those anyway) so I am starting my own thread here in CG to show off a collection I bought. 40000 comics and I won't have much time during the week to go through them but I thought I would show off some of them here. Condition could be better but I was actually expecting worse. First up is the ASM part of the run. This here ASM31 is a surprise as the run starts later on but this was included. Detached at top staple but still a nice ASM key with 1st Gwen and Harry. The 100 has a ratty cover for sure. The 102 has a strong color breaking crease up the spine side.

I just booked a table for a local show in late August so that I can move some books (hopefully). I am so tired right now and I have only been through one box so far. But those ASMs are so much fun to look through. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Selling is definitely labor-intensive. I love selling comics. It can be a hassle at times but I have purchased 2 small collections and buy bulk from the LCS. I will be cancelling the majority of the bulk now that I have this massive haul. But it keeps me home and off the street corner at night so I count it as time well spent. some dusty fingerprints but a nice copy indeed Edited June 10, 2017 by Bird STORMSHADOW_80 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Comics are better than blowing your money at the bars, at least that's what I've always told myself. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't have them all in hand and have been looking at the comics and not the master list but I'll keep you in mind should they show up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hey, look at that...you answered your own question. In time I will tell the tale. It was a lot of money, time payments with balance due to be paid in full by early next year.

The SS3 has extennsive tape on the spine but this one is clean. Needs a press but most of the keys do.

ADAMANTIUM Posted June 10, 2017 Share Posted June 10, 2017 (edited) Everything is awesome!! lego movie Question: did he say whether he had doubles?? not double cover's which would be cool but impossible to know with that many books, but more than 1 of each issue??

No doubles that I am aware of. Man, I am going through the lists now and so much junk, so so much junk. With what I bought and what I paid for I am not complaining but years of work ahead and so so much junk. No Moon Knight or WWBN from what I see, a disappointment. Of course I wanted every key from the era but despite it being all Marvel books there is not every Marvel book here. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
