Magnus #1-8, all in high grade with complete card sheets.
Magnus #42-53, again, all in pretty good shape. They had issues before these, but I decided I only wanted the post-Chaos Effect issues.
Ninjak #26 (another copy to add to my small hoard).

Nice rescue job.

Thanks! I was surprised because 95% of the stuff was crap I had picked through several times before. These books were new. The guy that worked at the store mentioned he had just thrown those in there. I think he said his reason was he had just bought a lot of Magnus on eBay to complete his set, so he threw all the books he didn't need in the cheap bins.

You would think if he knew enough to collect Magnus, he would have known enough not to throw pre-Unity issues in the cheap box.

wow, that's dirt cheap. I'm thinking the fact that he listed it as CCG and not CGC might have had something to do with it. He also didn't mention Valiant in the title or description. Also, some might have been wary of the "stains" on it.
Yeah, I was a little cautious about the stains comment also, but for $10.49 I thought it was worth taking a chance on.
I guess if it's too nasty you could always reslab.

I just got this today, the "stains" were all on the outside of the container and wiped right off, but there but there are a few scuff marks on it so I probably will have it reslabbed eventually.

Nintendo Comics System TPB#2 Variant

$8.95 + S&H. I am surprised I am the only bidder. This is very hard to find and I think I saw one a couple of months ago sold for around $35.

very sweet pick up

Needed a few of these and have seen # 20 for sale at $20 alone so figured this was great deal even with $15 shipping to the UK.

Nice hit.

You saved well over $50.0 on two HTF Vh1 gems and got a steal on 1st Deadpool, which i think is another overpriced book in the same vain as Am Spidey 300.

However we do actually have a copy of New Mutants 98 going on the bay today up for £9.95 10 day auction.
Im sure people are happy to pay that and more, so im happy to sell it at that much regardless of my opinion on what i think its worth

Egomaniac · Post by **Egomaniac** » Mon Oct 20, 2008 9:56 pm

It was amazing to see all the crap they wanted real money for. They actually had a New Mutants 87 2nd print that they were asking $25 for...

I guess they were going by the prices in the few Wizard back issues that they had....

NM 87 2end for 25
