I am embarrassed I spent money on this book thread... 5 5

[ADAMANTIUM]

I'm going to step out on a limb....

TO THE COMMON OBSERVER.... a lot of my registry is  or  but at the price point of a lot of my books I was just glad to procure a copy  

Take this copy, I got it raw for $10  only 5.5 but beats it going in the trash imo  "rarer" -ish  Newsstand haha

I know many buyers including myself who bought up the Rebirth #1 issues hoping they would go up like all the New 52 #1's.... and I splurged on Spawn 298-301.. spending hundreds... I still like those issues 5-10 years from now.. but I would have rather been more tame on those Spawns

@ADAMANTIUM Look at it this way: I'm sure there are lots of 9.8 & 9.6 copies of this book! 

How many can say they have a 5.5 copy!

@comics4all here is another that cost $1 at the LCS  totally worth saving it from file #13 (the trash bin!!)

Well, it is a 30 cent variant so it does have some value (not sure if it would cover slab fees, though)

I dunno much about that particular issue of that title. I know the art is insufferable.

Say what? Alan Davis is a great artist, especially inked by Paul Neary

ya I've been known to pick up some  stuff, but it's the fun of collecting  

Still, it would be nice to always make my money back

I think his artwork sucks.

Even if it is inked by Jesus Christ himself.

I have 1 other one that I actually remember, there are a few 7.0 to 7.5 mishaps that I paid good money for raw.... this being the worst offendor I think or at least tied with my X-Men 134 7.5

A newsstand error

I've been going over my registry descriptions correcting spelling errors.

No peer and pier are not the same word.

I bought 50 copies of Dazzler #1 when it came out in/around 1980.

I bought about 10 extra copies off the newsstand.  I put them up for sale a couple years ago - I only have two left. They sold for between $10-$20 a piece.

I have no idea.  I purchased them in either a comic shop, drug store or grocery store, off their newsstands.
