Nice grab, some of those are quite easy to get, but not 64 at once

Yes, all at once is like 'BAT$#IT arcade madness' !!!

My brother here, Bruddah comicsyte95 sent me the list of ashcans in this auction and there are a few that I have never seen. And here I was a bit proud of my own ashcan collection. Those Q-Unit ashcans and Silverline ashcan are snazzy.

This is a great pick up, brah.

What really surprised me is how much the wife enjoyed them.
Any idea how many total Badger trades there are ?

Coincidentally, I had to kill a little time in Amarillo today and dropped by Hastings. They had stacks of these IDW First reprint trades for $5 a piece. I didn't pick any up yet, though.

No, I have never seen an episode of that show... ever. Does not look like one I would want to watch either.

I recently took a class with a bit of Hawaiian history, music and language, it made bit of an impression.

The preacher would be classed as a promo sheet im thinking, not an ashcan, though i havent seen it before so good catch sir.

That would be great, but rather it went to a solid preacher fan, as i would in turn pass in onto someone who would really cherish for its link to preacher and not as much its scarcity.

Top man

Not my call, bro. It's yours to do as you will with it. I'm probably not the hugest Preacher fan, either. I did like it enough that I have a complete run with all the specials, but I can't say I've ever gone back and re-read it. I was curious if this was something similar to the Preacher Preview book, which goes for good money. Thanks for posting the picture.

http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?Vi ... K:MEWNX:IT

Continum Comics 1, first appearance of Dawn and very, very early Linsner work. I paid $11 shipped and this is normally a $40+ book.

I guess now I can start going after the rest of Continum now that I got the big dog out of the way.
mid-grade, but much cheaper than the other copies on eBay are listed for.

thought I got lucky with this one, picked out what I thought was this book out of a 25 cent bin at a local comic store. Turned out I picked up issue #2, instead of #1. The similar cover threw me.

Brother J · Post by **Brother J** » Sun Apr 17, 2011 2:03 pm

had a real comic buying fest yesterday. Went to a comic show in Allentown, ran into Doorman, who seems to always hit this show and buy a large volume of stuff. He passed on a couple of items to me while we were looking through the same boxes, including some Afrocentric comics and a ratty copy of Iron Fist #15 for 50 cents. Beat but complete. Thanks, man!

Later in the day, I went to a local shop that had a bunch of 25 cent comics in bins on the floor. Many were not bagged, and instead of being in comic boxes, they were in something that looked like a wooden horse trough. Needless to say, most of the books were not in great shape, but I did find some goodies. I'll list some of the stuff I picked up in a later post. Gotta run out and buy some more bags and boards.

Draco · Post by **Draco** » Tue Apr 19, 2011 6:43 am

Not forgetting Topps Jurassic Park # 1 Amber Crome edition.
I never knew books like this existed, as the stores over here probably didnt order in the quantities required to get the incentives, but the ones that did probably had crazy fool customers willing to pay the $50 pricetag the day they arrived.

My copy cost £1.00 and i just re read it and loved it.

Near Mint Press is still an active publisher, or at least it has been in the last 6 months. They solicited a TPB for the Experts that I had pre-ordered through DCBS that was subsequently cancelled through Diamond. It is still available through their website and is on my list of stuff to pick up eventually.

I love small press stuff like this.
