Treasures Found In The Cheap Comics Bin

WarAngel · Post by **WarAngel** » Tue Jul 16, 2013 11:24:35 am

My latest search was a personal all time best.

X-O Manowar: 1-8, 13, 67
Solar Man of The Atom: 1,2, 10
Shadowman: 0
Terminator Endgame: 2 & 3
Aliens: Colonial Marines: 2
Thunderstrike: 4
Battlestar Galactica (Maximum Press): 1
Dork Tower: 31

Obviously the major finds are the old Valiant comics. The others were either interesting or Thunderstrike's case a filler for a gap in the collection.

So what ok, good, or great finds has anyone else recovered from the cheap bin?

Probably the best find I have ever pulled out of a cheap bin was (Uncanny) X-Men 137 for a quarter.

Another fellow that used to post here found an Albedo Anthropomorphics 2 (first Usagi Yojimbo) for 75 cents.

I've found some decent stuff in quarter bins. The condition is the biggest gripe. But especially now that I own many of the gaps in digital format - reading them was never a concern. Just filling.

Found a few X-Men holes. 113, 115, and 117. I think. All were good-plus-ish... But to fill in... I am okay.

Earlier this year, Rai 9 gold for $.50 at the ECCC. Probably NM-.

nice

I'm assuming it's in reasonable condition?

I found a Predator/Magnus TPB for $1 at a Vintage Stock in Missouri. A month later I went back to the same Vintage Stock and found another Predator/Magnus TPB a $1.

Lighting struck twice and I still can't believe it.

I found a Hulk #271 in 9.2 / 9.4 condition in the dollar bins at Washington D.C.'s Awesome Con this past April.

Also in the same bin, I found an All Star #58 which is about an 8.0 condition

What condition was the Harbinger 1 in?

kevinbastos · Post by **kevinbastos** » Mon Aug 05, 2013 12:12:43 pm

I forgot.

Few years ago, found X-O 68 AND Bloodshot 51 - both in the quarter bins. Neither was stellar shape - but both nice ones.

Found the following books yesterday at my local comic show. All of them were from dollar bins from various dealers and are in near mint shape with the exception of two books.

Superman Man of Steel #17 2x copies - one of them is the rare 2nd print, partial first appearance of Doomsday
Alpha Flight #33 2x copies - first appearance of Lady Deathstrike
Daredevil #254 2x copies - first appearance of Typhoid Mary
Daredevil #380 - scarce final issue of vol 1.
Avengers #257 - first appearance of Nebula
New Mutants #87 2nd Print - first appearance of Cable
Classic X-Men #1 - Just for the heck of it

Bloodshot #30, 31, 32 all Newsstand price variants. - Very rarely do I find all three at once.

X-O Manowar #2 signed by Bob Layton
Rai #33

Walking Dead #27 (1st Governor) in $1 bin. At the peak of TWD about 2 years ago (may we are still peaking right now?).

I think that's my personal best so far.
