the blob Posted December 7, 2018 Author Share Posted December 7, 2018 (edited) I have probably bought 50 dollar box books over the last 10 days and, honestly, nothing worth posting here, a couple of $5-$10 books, but nothing exciting. I did get a lot of Batman New 52s in super nice shape in the teens through the 30s because I wanted them, but almost none of it is much of a find. Pretty sad for the guy who started this thread! Over Thanksgiving I did pick up some decent variants a store had given up on selling on the rack. I need to hit some new spots, I have probably picked the 5 or 6 places I haunt clean.

I may find myself in that predicament soon enough. I never used to be much of a fan of his because I didn't like the writing too much, but recently I've fallen enough in love with his art that I regret not collecting his issues sooner.

Not every one of those covers is that great, but I like most of them. For a fringe title there are an awful lot out there, maybe stores loaded up on the kieth books. Weird series... Lasted like 170 issues and there are like 2 or 3 issues in the run that generate interest outside the $1-2 box context. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gradejunky Posted December 9, 2018 Share Posted December 9, 2018 So the OP said copper age could slide in here so here is a little bit of my score today. Am visiting NH so no sales tax. $1 books but I'll need to ship them home before I leave as I flew here for a temp job and I have quite a large stack...anyhow: aardvark88 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gradejunky Posted December 9, 2018 Share Posted December 9, 2018 Large stack of Copper Bats. Mostly looking around 7.0-8.0 with improper stacking type issues and minor foxing/ dust shadows on some. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Brother J Posted December 23, 2018 Share Posted December 23, 2018 Probably no one cares but me, but I found a Prudence & Caution #2 Spanish Language Edition in a dollar box today. Very hard to find book with a small print run, and the only way to tell it's the Spanish edition is to open the book, as there is no indicator on the outside cover. oldmilwaukee6er 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bellrules Posted December 28, 2018 Share Posted December 28, 2018 Not bad for 25 cents. It’s an upgrade to the ones I have Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Joosh Posted December 28, 2018 Share Posted December 28, 2018 My LCS had a day after Xmas sale on back issues; .50 ea. Normally they’re $2. all of the books shown came from the 12 or so long boxes full of new stock put out the same day. I should’ve got more... The next men appears to be signed by Byrne, worth a shot for .50. Jimbo749, WhatMeWorry and ygogolak 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
