Bragging rights - your best deal of late?

Big props to my flea market comic guy Mike (Purple Gorilla at Crossroads Market), he knows I'm a Valiant fan and said he would keep his eye out for stuff and boy did he deliver this past week-

I got Solar #60 (final issue), Magnus #25 VVSS (my first VVSS) #62 and #64 (final issue), XO #60 and #62-68 (final issue) for $50 (worked out to about $3.80/issue).

That finished off my runs of Solar, Magnus and XO

Even better as you completed a run.
Double bonus!

Grabbed a bunch of Valiants for 40 bones from a large bulk collector. He gave me a good price, and had a bunch of other valiants/acclaims I might pickup down the road. I gave him some advice on some books he had miss-priced (he had a stack of Spawn 9s for $3/each that I passed on).

Trying not to buy stuff since I really can't afford to but I recently picked up The Spirit's Casebook of True Haunted Houses and Ghosts by Will Eisner for 49 cents at Goodwill.

Some info on the book:

That's pretty nice, I love seeing sketch covers.

The artist obviously put a lot of work in to that one.

$100

Nice. Those can be pretty hard to find (especially at that price).

Good score. Looks like some good reading.

Today I found The Strain: The Fall, Issue 1 and 2, and then decided to check the stack of books right before it (because there was a bunch of 'The Fall' books).
I grabbed 5 issues of The Strain #1 for 1.25/piece

, 2 issues of #1 variant for 3.99/piece, and issues 2-4 for cover.

I'm debating about grabbing some of the others because there were multiples of issue 2, 3, 6, etc.

Since I bought these, I sold two issues of $1 for $55 on ebay, and a packaged-deal of both #1s for $100 off ebay. I recommend you guys check your LCS back issues bin, this series is on fire, and might have some legs!

I'm holding on to my other copies, I here the TV show is going to be made by the guy who did Pan's Labyrinth.

Wow, good catch on that.

Yep, looking these over...I need to rebuild my VH1 collection.

(goes over to corner and cries for having had to sell it)

Didn't expect this to go for so cheap:

Someone got a nice deal there.

GGSAE · Post by **GGSAE** » Sun Mar 02, 2014 12:40 pm

Local show with a few more dealers I went straight to a guy that I found some pre-unities in the past. He didn't have any $1 boxes, but I did snag some key/semi key recent issues. Grabbed these for $3 a piece:
deadpool 42 x2 (G.I. tribute)
deadpool 45
ASM 431 (carnage cover)
Web of SpiderMan 118 ($3 from a different dealer).

The above dealer has a bunch of other first series deadpools...do you guys think it's worth grabbing the rest for cover? I know the print run dies off near the end.

Stopped by a new shop and found some Acclaim gems in NM:
Armorines 1
Unity 2000 1
Magnus 18
$3, plus a free Rai preview book.

Still trying to decide what my regular shop is going to be, but finding some gems in the process.

Finally tracked down an XO Manowar #68 for $6.50, +$7 shipping!

I'm gonna bind the whole run eventually

Picked up Return to the Amalgam Age of Comics - The Marvel Collection for $5 at a very small local con last weekend. I watched a copy sell for $43.57 on eBay the week prior.

This one was pretty good...
http://www.ebay.com/itm/131140281931" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false;

8 newsstand books, a set of Vintage Magnus 1-4, and a Magnus #12 for $32 shipped.
A few Unity issues and a couple Harbinger #10, plus some commons.

Just found a VEI Harbinger #6 1:20 variant for $2 today.
