Wow, great prices for those, Myron. I wish we still had 50 cent bins around here.

first ones I've seen in a long time...definitely makes me want to go back there on a regular basis though...because besides 90's dreck in them they also had late silver and bronze age items (all be it beat up) in them too...I'm actually stoked to go back there

actually just re-stating your original joke as even after you said it two times, it didn't look like superman-prime was catching on that there is no Magnus issues after #64.

It's in strict VF/NM condition (with non-colorbreaking creases only fortunately) with coupons.

I had absolutely no expectation that this would show up in the advertised NM condition, so I wasn't disappointed with what I got. A non-collector would (and maybe they should) call this copy NM all day long.

Not too shabby!

:D

Sealed harby TPB BlueBird 1.95 :D

This kinda makes up for the ill described Armorines VVSS that someone outbid me by a dollar somethin, sucks, my max bid was like 24.50 cause there were no bidders on it so I figured I had a chance, wake up this morning and it ended before I got to bid again! arr. Ohh well Ill take the bluebird for 2 bucks.
Nice snag at $2 but your high bid is about three times what I'd pay for one.
Your high bid, as I recall, was around $25. The Blubird is quite worth the $2 but I would not pay more than about $8 for one. They are somewhat common.

where did you get the 25 dollar high bid??! I highly doubt that I bid more than 10 something..ohh I got it, you didnt read the whole post. My high bid was 24.50 for Armorines VVSS and I lost that auction. I was saying winning this SEALED Harby Bluebird for 2 bucks kinda made up for that loss [for that day=]
