Psi-lords 1 (gold) & Solar:Destroyer 0 ($2.50 variant) for $6.00 - best of all I needed both books.

Also picked-up 5 Virgin flat covers of Psi-lords 1. I only need one so if anyone would like one please check out my complete trade list in the Buy / Sell area.

These are the regular cover to # 1:

only are flat, never folded or stapled covers to Psi-lords 1 sans interior. I really don't know anything else about them. Please feel free to regale me with your knowledge :)
Damn, the Destroyer just sold for like $50 recently on this site. VERY NICE FIND! :thumb:

For real? Damn I have to start paying closer attention to all this. Ok, maybe it was better than a decent deal.

I thought this was a fair deal. just a bit over cover price for the Magnus and solar Trade paperbacks! Throw in the Shadowman for good measure. I have been looking for four out of five of these for a long time now! 8-)

I was wondering how much that lot would end up going for. Nice that you could tag them all at once.

Deathmate Gold Edition set (missing Red) for $1.00 a piece.

Solar #1 for 50 cents.


It's not the biggest find in history, but I've never had much luck in the bargain bins until now, so I'm happy :)

This isn't exactly new, but it's my latest purchase and I figured since we are talking TPBs:

You have to scroll way down to find what the auction had. I needed most of these. :thumb:

Good deal lee! I'm especially surprised it went that cheap, considering how many views it had (maybe all the views came from you showing us?)....i definitely would have bid on that and made you shell out more to get it :)
