Congrats on all those X-Men's wow. Basically knocked out the Phoenix Saga in one swoop .

I went to an Antique Row with 5-6 different shops today. The first shop had the best stuff and I bought these books from them. Nothing major at all, but a few sleeper picks.

The pick of the day was hands down this copy of FF. Totally worth $6. Such a great cover.

Awesome find! That FF issue is worth a lot more than $6. Congrats!

Went to a local antique shop and bought these for $2 each.

Sets of these

I'm amazed by the Miracle Man 15. The rest I see all the time (they are still nice)

nice job

Yeah, I've found every modern I can think of in the cheap bins (including BA12), but this is the first time I found a Miracleman 15. That book is ridiculously tough to find.

That is one cool antique shop! Great score!

Peace,

Chip

Wow, the Miraclemans are an awesome find. Including #14. Any others post-9?

I might be missing it then - but I have the "big big" version (for us blind guys) - nothing at the end past the "z" comics list. No big deal -

That is one cool antique shop! Great score!

Just the opposite for me. Guy placed a craigslist ad earlier in the week for an estate sale advertising some comics. So I contacted him saying I was pretty much broke at the moment but if he had anything left after the sale I might pick up something in a couple of weeks. The ad showed some Bronze Age stuff in decent shape.

The sale was yesterday so I e-mailed him last night to see how he had done. Said he hadn't sold any comics at all. Ends up the sale was going on again today from 10-2 so I ran over just to take a look. It's no wonder the guy hadn't sold any. He said he doesn't know anything about comics so he priced everything off of eBay. Of course, he didn't take into consideration condition. He had books priced like they were NM when in fact they were in Good to Very Good condition. He had a Man From U.N.C.L.E that was in about Good condition priced at $50.00.

He does have a decent (Fine-ish) copy of Conan #1 but has it priced at $500.

I'm going to educate him on what it's really worth and make him an offer on it. I also told him I'd be willing to help him price the comics so that they WILL sell - all at no charge to him.

And no, I have no interest in any of the other comics he has left. I paid him $5.00 today for a FN/VF copy of Midnight Tales #1 but that's all I bought.
