Found one of the rare Golden Apple Comics "Treehouse of Horror" signed books that comes with a certificate. These were limited to 500 when the Bongo crew did a store signing at the Golden Apple store years back.

This one has Matt Groening's signature with a sketch of "Bart and Bill Morrison's sig who sketched a "Scratchy" head from "Itchy & Scratchy" fame.
James Robinson and Mike Allred also signed the cover who both had short stories in the comic:

The "Scratchy" sketch in silver ink comes out better in this pic:

Is that good? Surely with the line being dead they are bargain bin fodder?

They are rare enough that they probably won't be found in bargain bins, but I don't expect them to sell for much more than $5-15 on ebay.

I sold one a few weeks ago for 19.99. That's the second copy that seller has sold recently, and the other copy went for around the same price.

Now that I have them in my hand, and I can't jinx it any longer, I picked up a lot of Acclaim Comics that included Armorines 1-4, Unity 2000 1-3 (just the regular versions), Immortal Enemy, GOAT and a few more I needed for $25.00. I could not hit the BIN fast enough.

That's friggin' awesome!!

What conditions were the books in?

They just came today, so I had only a few minutes at lunch to tear into the box and check everything out. But after a cursory look I'd say 8-8.5 each. That might change, but for my 1st copies of these books (in a decidedly reader-friendly Valiant/Acclaim collection) I'm pretty stoked. Besides, you can't upgrade until you have...um, graded.

local show yesterday, here's some of the highlights:

Black Panther #23 (Deadpool x-over) and Deadpool #42, 44 (2 copies), 45-53, 54, 55 (the Punisher issues), 56-58, 50 cents each.

Daredevil #27 in VG+ and Daredevil #122 Mile High 2 Collection with COA from the 5 for $1 box. The cover looks sun-faded on the MH2 book, though.

Punisher (1st limited series) #1 and #2 in 5 for $1 box

Valiant wise, I picked up a Solar #10 (only about a Fine, though) and a Quantum and Woody #0 also in the 5 for $1 boxes.

Lots of other great books, but I'm too lazy to list them all.

There's a good joke in there somewhere, but I don't want a lawsuit and libel is easier to prove than slander.

I just considered myself happy to pay $120 for the pair.

Jealous!
