Where do y'all look for comics, besides local shops and ebay? I have three issues of The Flash to go to complete the run (106, 108, and 112), and I haven't been able to find decent copies for months now. I'm not looking for crazy high grades, but nothing below Fine. They're not exceptionally rare or exceptionally high priced (#106 ain't cheap), but still I just can't find them. I don't need a crazy bargain (it'd be nice), I just really want to find them. At least one or two of them.

I know that conventions are supposed to be a great resource, but I don't think there are going to be any in the NYC area for a while, at least not that I know of. What other options are there? I checked the CGC boards but it's not the easiest site to wade through. These boards are much better in my opinion. Are there other sites people trust? Do you think it'd make sense to put an ad up on craigslist.com? From what I've heard here, it's really sketchy.

And to those of you who sell comics: If you come across The Flash #106, #108, or #112, keep me in mind; I might well buy it off you.

You can try Comic Link, but there just aren't that many for sale on line these days. A good convention would probably be helpful, but more expensive given your criteria.

These are up on EBay at the moment.

It looks like you are going to pay more for a raw copy than a graded one, if that is what you are looking for.










Where does he get those wonderful toys!

I have yet begun to surrender.

Thanks man. I'm really kicking myself for skipping the NYC convention a few months ago. Carmine Infantino was there and everything! I can't remember why I decided not to go, I think I was just getting back into comics and it seemed like too much of a pain in the posterior.

And thanks again for the ebay links. None of those is really grabbing me unfortunately, not enough to fork out the loot. The ones that look reasonable are pretty expensive. I guess I just said that I wasn't looking for a bargain, but I don't want to pay a ton over the CPG list value either. Maybe I'll contact one or two of the sellers and see if they'd take less. I know a couple few of those BINs have been listed forever.
