Wow. I was happy getting my copy for around $25 right when it came out, and it's not in the 90% or so of variants that drop. Dollar bin for that one is INSANE.

I realize the JSC Extraordinary X-Men #1 has dropped from its heyday, but still a great $1 buy. 2. Is that 3 Monstress #1 first print for $1? 3. Is that a gold logo Marvel Zombies?

You are not the 1st boardie with a sock joke on me. 1. Yeah any JSC for a buck that I don't see much I buy. 2. 2 1# 1st Prints and a No 2 1st Print - I know I about fell over 3. No I don't think there was one they are just later prints of the 1st Series. What I like is they are all iconic covers. I just need to pick up a 2 and 3 for an easy set. manetteska and ADAMANTIUM 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr. Spider-Woman Posted December 28, 2019 Share Posted December 28, 2019 I’ve hit three or four stores over the past few months and spent hours going through the 50 cent and/or dollar bins. I’m mostly collecting Fantastic Four comics at the moment and did find a few books but nothing special. Annoyingly, on multiple occasions I’ve found something for $1 that I spent more to buy online. I do enjoy the search but I’m probably done digging for the foreseeable future. I just don’t have the time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post Hamlet Posted December 28, 2019 Popular Post Share Posted December 28, 2019 I’ve developed a real sickness lately. Dollar boxes are for the big spenders. I’ve been going through 3/$1 and 50/$20 boxes lately. I’ve been pulling mostly Copper drek out of them. Stuff like X-Factor, Byrne FF, New Mutants, Web of Spiderman, Spectacular Spiderman, Avengers, Iron Man, etc. I’m not talking about the occasional minor key that gets missed. I’ve bought a couple hundred books that are not in demand at all, and probably aren’t going to be in demand anytime soon. Some of them I’m buying to read or to complete runs, but a lot of them I’m buying simply because I think they should be worth at least a dollar. Heck, most of them have a cover price higher than what I’m paying, and they are 30+ years old. How can I not buy another copy of X-Factor 41 ( 1st Alchemy with pretty neat Art Adams art - story pretty bad though ) for 40 cents ? Shouldn’t that be worth a dollar or two to someone? On the plus side, I can buy pretty much every comic in a 3/$1 box I have even the slightest interest in and it will break my back before it breaks my bank account. It feeds my need to be collecting something at a very reasonable cost. ADAMANTIUM, Keys_Collector, oldmilwaukee6er and 3 others 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I can probably do it for 10-15 years at the current pace before space becomes a problem. My plan is to then sell them as dollar books in retirement ( minus the few books I actually did well on ) at the small local conventions to the next guy like me.

I try to get the most bang for my buck, but I admit for years before my closest shop closed I would go there and buy 15 for $10 books out of habit when I skipped buying lunch. Sometimes getting to the 15 entailed buying some books I may have normally passed on. Comics4All 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

the blob Posted December 28, 2019 Author Share Posted December 28, 2019 Jeez Louise, now I have a lot of pressure to put together a good set for the raffle. Luckily I am 5-10-50 copies deep on some decent books so I won't be crying myself to sleep giving away my only copies.
