That's a fantastic collection at that price. Also, that 2004 Young Guns Sketchbook is a really, really random (if welcome) book to have twenty copies of in a lot. Especially that wasn't priced even a little more appropriately.

The seller was blowing them out in boxes for nothing so I went thru all the boxes and about fell over when I saw so many copies.
I am positive he bought out someone's $1 dealer inventory as there were about 30 boxes of just Image/Valiant/Batman 90s books with
random books like in this here or there.

Early deathblow. They were all dirt cheap so I thought why pass it up and I piled it in. Never know.
Not 1st app, but early. I never find Inside Image books never for some reason you would think
there should be a ton somewhere.

 

 


 

 

Made me go check my image longbox.

I have a few, but they’re not NM.  Found a bunch of his first appearance as well, but they seem to be basically worthless at the moment ....

Some of those Inside Image books are in the surprisingly large category of books that: 1) are sometimes elusive, especially in high grade; 2) have things, like the Deathblow appearance in II2, that would seem to make them appealing; but 3) are effectively worthless.

There were a few more Inside Image books in there.  These were part of a small collection (maybe 350 books) that I picked up at a garage sale.  None of the image books were bagged and boarded, so no NM copies. The flip covers are kinda cool though...

You just need to walk back the dates. Did the Gen 13 appear before Deathmate I cant remember.

Criminey, it is a dollar box, do you guys only buy instant flips? Don't you guys buy books with potential too?   (Not directed to the OP, who has his instant flips and potentials) but yikes, I would have been lambasted for my last 50 cent bin dive because 150 out of 180 were not clear instant flips

None of these are NM or even VF but at $2.25 a piece it was hard to say no.... :(

Spoiler

Why do i do it? Lol rat chew some of them the non modern I found, but they're paid for readers :banana:the modern are maybe fine condition and better with a press,  posted in garage sale thread in comics general anyway 

Went to a store that I frequent for comics, the owner said come check this out. Brought me to the back and said that box has comics and so does that one, and then proceeded to let me be to look through. Sometimes earning a rep with a dealer too, is to pick up small items so they can come to you first, :takeit:
