As far as the Acclaim books, I’ve only had a mild curiosity and no real drive to collect them. When I do go back to the shop it will be for my collection.

Thanks for the advice. The shop maybe had 20 different Acclaims all priced at a dollar--that's about what Greg has them listed for anyway. Still, I may grab the lot just to have them...

If you want to read some Acclaim books, don't pay a buck for them. I can get them to you for cheaper than that. If they are some of the rare ones, then for sure do it. If they are the regular issues, send me a PM and I'll will give you a sweet deal.

Not comic related at all but my girlfriend grabbed me a £95 pair of North Face boots for free because the auditor at her work couldn't be arsed to find a code for them and so wrote them off on the strength of them not having a box. Their loss=my new pair comfy walking boots.

Are Miracleman 16s worth anything? Is there a second printing or something that I might have picked up?

What, did you pick one up out of a bargain box or something? I once pulled several Miraclemans out of someone's cheap box, and #16 was one of them. No #15, though.

AFAIK, there is no second printing of MM #16.

Yeah, I picked up 2 copies out of a $1 box. I know some of these issues aren't worth squat while others are. No idea on #16 though. Not really any recent sales on ebay to figure it out either.

I've seen them go on eBay uk for about £5 a couple of times.

Bought the out-of-print DC Archive Editions Plastic Man Volume One for $30.50 shipped today.

Not as good a deal as the person who popped a $35 BIN that some idiot listed for the first three volumes in one lot, but still not bad on a book that regularly goes for $60+.

I went to a shop for the first time today that's a ways away.

This store only had a bunch of 80s and 90s comics (no new books, no trades, etc). Most all was $1.

I found a copy of Flash 92, but it's a beater. I bought it anyway. All the copies of this book I find are beaters.

Found 2 copies of Witchblade #1. I don't know anything about this title so I was expecting to find out they are second prints or from a later overprinted run. Luckily, they aren't. They are solid 9.2-9.4 copies. I guess these move at about $20 or so on ebay.

I think I have a pretty nice copy of it if you're interested.

There were a couple copies that went for $20, but a bunch more that went for $10 or less. Never know with eBay.

$13 shipped for 37 books. Seller shipped via Priority Mail and postage alone was almost $11. I was the only bidder.

http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?Vi ... 0474154314

The seller didn't list the issues properly. A lot of the early sandman books still have their back issue price tags on their bags which were $18, $18, $15, . . .

Sandman: 10, 11, 13 (x6), 21, 46, 49, 53, 55 (x3), 56
Sandman Mystry Theatre: 4 (x2), 5 (x3), 6 (x3), 8
Akira: 9 (x3), 12 (x3), 13, 17 (x2), 22 (x2), 26
