bobafettesb — Thu, 10 Jul 2008 18:03:56 GMT

After reading [b]thehighevolutionary[/b]'s post about buying his first comic book collection, I too decided that it would be a great time to get back in the business of buying and selling comics.

I put together a very simple and to-the-point flier. I wanted to start small, so I just begun by putting them up around the office. Within the first 30 minutes I already had about five hanging tags removed. I received my first email response to my flier within the first week.

The first person to respond was a b/f of a lady that had just started working here. He told me that they were hard up for cash and he was looking to sell some boxes of comics. He had said that he had about 11 boxes of comics that were all from within the last 10 years or so. Mainly Batman and Batman-related books. I was really hoping that he was going to tell me that he had some great Silver Age books that he was looking to dump. When he told me that it was all Modern Age stuff I was kind of reluctant to go look at it. I thought that I wasn't going to be able to offer him what he was hoping for. I decided to send him an email and explain to him my going rates for Modern Age comics and the reasons why. To my surprise, he emailed me back and told me that that's pretty much the price that he was expecting. He told me that I was more than welcome to come look at them with no obligation to buy. I started filling a bit better after he gave me that information.

A couple of days after receiving his first email I decided to use my lunch break to leave and take a look at what he had. I went to met him at his apartment. He was waiting outside for me when I got there. I parked my car and we went upstairs to his apartment. He had all of his books ready to go. All 11 boxes were out in the hallway lined up against one of the walls. I knelt down and began to browse through the stock.

A quick glance through each box discovered exactly what I expected to see; [b]Batman[/b], [b]Detective Comics[/b], [b]Birds of Prey[/b], [b]Catwoman[/b], [b]Nightwing[/b], [b]Robin[/b], [b]JLA[/b], [b]JSA[/b], etc. Something that I wasn't expecting however was the condition of the books. They were all pretty much in [b]NM[/b] condition with bags and boards (except for some of the TPBs). After quickly looking through each box I stood back up and told him if my original offer still stood for the whole collection. He told me that he would actually take $10 less than my offer because one of the boxes wasn't completely full. It was only about 1/2 box. I was kind of taken back by his response but I quickly recovered and told him that he had a deal.

We were both happy with the deal and he said that he would even help me carry them out to my car. He did as he promised, I handed him his payment, and my car's back seat was now full of short boxes. Before I left we stood outside and chatted for a bit about comic-related stuff like some of the newer comics and [b]The Incredible Hulk[/b] movie. I also thanked him and told him that if he knew anyone else that was looking to sell some comics to mention my name. He said that he would do just that, and I headed on back to work.

I will post some pictures of what I picked up when I get a chance. I was planning on doing that this weekend. I won't be able to take pictures of all the boxes that I bought. I've already listed a few auctions on Ebay and taken a few books out for my own collection. ;) Plus I've already made a sell of one short box to a girl here at work. Her purchase of one short box pretty much covered what I paid for the whole collection. :w00t:

[b]THE PICTURES ARE HERE!!![/b]

Sorry it's taken me so long. I've been working some crazy-a$$ hours here lately. But anyway....I've taken quite a few of them. I took a group-shot of all the boxes together. Then they are broken down into twos. The first of the two is a picture of the box with just the lid off. Then the second of the two is a picture of the first few books out of the box. Just to give you an idea of what each box contains.

There are only about 9 1/2 short boxes in the picture. As I previously stated that I've already sold a full short box that pretty much covered my cost of the whole collection.

Anyone ever use this site to buy back issues?

Now that I have a complete 9.8 set I'm not sure what to do...I just feel like a weight has been lifted 'cause it's taken me a while...over 4 months I think...but I see some other guy is selling the complete set for 13 grand...I don't know if it's worth that much but is sure is tempting to find out.

I could buy a whole lot more SA and BA books with 13 grand:D

Buying/collecting SA Marvel runs...

KingOfRulers — Mon, 21 Jul 2008 16:41:36 GMT

I sometimes wonder why we go several years trying to piece together any given SA Marvel run in low-mid grade. I have been working on my X-men run since about 2003 I think, and am closing in. But still, after thinking about it...it seems kind of stupid lol I would have been down a couple of years ago most likely if I just saved up the cash and bought a full run in a single purchase instead of trying to piece it together. I can say, that for any other Marvel run I start in the future that isn't in high grade, I will be buying in a single bulk purchase if possible. It is just so much easier and cheaper.

Tips for tracking down certain issues please...

Speedy-D — Sun, 20 Jul 2008 14:08:33 GMT

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.

DeadOne's Recent Pick-Ups

DeadOne — Fri, 04 Jul 2008 12:56:04 GMT

Everybody else has one. :D

I only recently (just over a year ago) got back into collecting comics. Unfortunately I made the decision to sell my old stuff only months before deciding to collect again. I started buying lots of moderns (real newer stuff), but now have focused most on back issues. Nothing in particular, instead, a wide range of various comics. I'm still trying to get a feel for what I like.

Tell me what you think.
If it's in a picture, I probably have it scanned so let me know if you want to see something closer.

newbie collector; I need your help...

NYCTORCH — Sat, 19 Jul 2008 17:34:57 GMT

Hello all at CPG; I am a newbie collector here in New York City. I used to collect as a teen(didn't take much care of my books, most were thrown away by my family), and as a college student( learned to bag and board, but didn't keep them either).
I recently made an online purchase from craigslist, and I thought it was a deal too good to be true. I purchased around 527 books (a WHOLE LOT of World War Hulk doubles, and Civil War), but I also have a few cover sketch variants, and the books were pretty current(the entire endangered species, and messiah complex run, with a few variants) and in NM condition(I think). My wallet is $250.00 less, but I bought 2 long boxes of all bagged and boarded books. Was this too much money, or did I come out on top of the deal? Would love anyones advice on this. Thank you, and I am excited to be here on CPG!

Has anyone seen a copy of this with Wizard at the bottom? Some one is selling it on Craigslist along with some more and i was thinking about checking it out but ive never seen that at the bottom right.

Any ideas?

(B3P) bobafettesb's bargain bin purchases.

bobafettesb — Wed, 25 Jun 2008 08:17:37 GMT

Like many of you before me, I too once had a topic started about my bargain bin purchases. That topic has come and gone. This is now the home for such said buys.

For starters..... I took a break from work last night and headed to my LCS. I haven't really been there some time. But I met one of the guys that works there one night at the local Wal-Mart. Him and I are pretty good friends/mates/what-have-you. He told me that the store just recently started buying and selling back issues again. They haven't been doing this since I can't remember when. So I decided to go and check it out.

I must say, I was pretty disappointed with there current selection of back issues. They only had about a short box and a half of inventory to browse through. However, the prices were pretty good. They were selling stuff for either $1 or $5. Nothing higher than that. Nothing lower either. Didn't really find anything that struck my fancy. I opted for some of their newer bargain books instead.

They usually have a pretty good selection of their newer stuff on sale for $1/each. They are all in pretty good condition. Mainly everything is in VF/NM, and they are all bagged/boarded. Even though they normally sell them for $1/each, they were having a sale on these too. They were down to $.50/each. Not much to rummage through here either. There were only a couple of long boxes left, and nothing really mainstream. I still went ahead and pick up a few things. I mean......they were only $.50/each, and I felt like I was doing my part to help the cause.

[b][u]This is what I got:[/u][/b]

Darkminds Vol. 1 #1/2
Darkminds Vol. 1 #4
Darkminds Vol. 2 #5
Darkminds Vol. 2 #7
Darkminds: Macropolis Vol. 1 #3 (Variant White Cover Edition. This is not listed in the database anywhere. I will post a scan later today.)
Darkminds: Macropolis Vol. 2 #1
Darkminds: Macropolis Vol. 2 #2
Darkminds: Macropolis Vol. 2 #3
Darkminds - Collected #2
Darkminds - Collected #3
Warlands #1/2 (Wizard Magazine Limited Edition w/Certificate of Authenticity)

Also picked up a couple of the Top Shelf 2008 Seasonal Samplers on my way out the door.

All in all....not too bad for only paying $5.89 for the whole lot.

What runs are you trying to complete and how far along are you?

Boboset — Mon, 09 Jun 2008 09:36:28 GMT

I'm personally trying to complete the following(in no order of importance):

Amazing Spider-Man 6 left pre #500

Sub-Mariner(SA) about 12 left

Ghost Rider (circa 1970s) about 7 left

Dr. Strange(First) 2 left

I'm buying anything and everything in addition to these runs, but my focus is on those first.

I thought I would start my own thread. I buy way too many books and felt like showing off a few of my more recent finds. I just got back from a 2 week vacation in Florida and bought over 200 books during my trip.

I found these 2 in a 3 for a dollar bin at a comic shop near my parents house on my trip.

Mile High Comics Prices...

jbprince — Fri, 27 Jun 2008 15:09:32 GMT

Just curious about a couple prices I saw today... got the newsletter from them stating they had a FF 1, DD 1, Adventure 247, etc... and that they still had the 62% off sale going on... well I looked in the store and the have the FF 1 listed in VG at $9120 (after the discount)... since when is this book $24k in VG condition... my price guide is only a couple years old but still does that seem right... i mean maybe $9120 is possible if someone wants to pay about 4x the guide price but $24k?? sheesh...

Best Cities for Comic Collectors

willallen — Wed, 02 Jul 2008 01:10:54 GMT

I wanted to revive the old thread I had called DUMPSTER DIVING, but with a broader view. I travel a great deal for work, and I would like a place to post the highs and lows for the various comic stores I visit across the country. This is entirely subjective, and I am looking for input from other members to discuss.

For instance, I was recently in Fort Lauderdale and I have to say, that city has soon really good stores. Most of the stores I visited had lots of bargain bins with quality books (I got a nice copy of Warlord #1 for a buck, for instance), as well as reasonably priced and well stocked back issue boxes going back to the Silver Age and beyond. Likewise, Green Bay, Wisconsin was a good comics city with several stores with very pleasing prices and a nice mix of old and newer books.

Shockingly, I have found Portland to be nearly devoid of decent deals. Cosmic Monkey was grossly overpriced (they must worship at the idol of Wizard prices) and though Things from Another World was a very nice shop, they had nothing in particular to offer as far as Silver Age or even Bronze Age backstock. The only place in town I found with even decent pricing (and grading) for their backstock was Excalibur Books. I picked up a few Bronze Age Brave and the Bold books I needed for my run there, and the staff was friendly and knowledgeable. For a city like Portland, this is very sad.

Likewise I was in Milwaukee last week and the store that seems to run that town was, if I recall correctly, called Collectors Edge. They had three locations and what few back issues they carried were not priced. "We gotta look them up", the clerk told me, and picked up his copy of Wizard. I got out of there as quickly as I could.

Anyone else want to tout their local comic book shop or wax eloquent about their city/town/rural mailing district's comic collecting atmosphere?

Universal Soldiers Complete Spiderman Mission

Universal Soldiers — Sun, 30 Mar 2008 00:07:14 GMT

Adding in URL from old forum:

http://www.comicspriceguide.com/forum2/topic.asp?TOPIC_ID=39447

[quote]

Since everyone else seems to have their own thread about quests, hunts etc.. I decided to start my own. At some point I intend to have a complete Spiderman colection. Not just a full run of amazing, but complete runs of all the major title produced under the Spiderman name.

Some qualifiers:
I don't care about variants, one-shots, and mini or maxi series. (I have a long box full of them, AKA 90's crap)
I do want all the Annuals, Giant size and Specials
The series has to have lasted a year, with the possible exception of a volume 2,3 etc... of something

From what I can tell these are all the series that Marvel has put out:
Amazing Spiderman V1 and V2 (as far as I'm concerned these are really the same thing)
Sensational Spiderman V1
Sensational Spiderman V2
Spectacular Spiderman V1
Spectacular Spiderman V2
Spiderman
Peter Parker Spiderman
Ultimate Spiderman
Marvel Knights Spiderman
Friendly Neighborhood Spiderman
Web of Spiderman
Marvel Team-up V1
Spiderman Team-up V2
Marvel Team-up V3
Marvel Team-up V4
Spiderman Unlimited V1
Spiderman Unlimited V2
Spiderman Unlimited V3
Marvel Tales

If I missed any, please let me know.

Rather than post what I have I'll post what I need starting with Amazing:

Amazing Fantasy #15
Amazing Spiderman - 1-26, 30, 32-34, 36, 41-54, 59, 63, 66, 72, 76, 77, 80, 84, 88
Annuals - 1,2
Giant Size - 1,3,5

What's the most expensive comic you've sold?

Set 0ne — Sat, 28 Jun 2008 08:20:45 GMT

Tonight I sold a Sonic The Hedgehog #13 for $15AU...I seriously didn't think anyone would bid at the price but I was proven wrong (happily so). I don't usually sell very expensive books so I think $15 is my maxium at the moment.

This doesn't have to do with just eBay it can be any way possible where selling is concerned.

Bought my first collection

thehighevolutionary — Fri, 16 May 2008 22:06:55 GMT

Finally got a lead on some comics worth taking a look at. Problem was the guy was about 40 miles away and with gas being as high priced as it was I wanted to see some pictures before venturing out that far. The pictures I got...I decided it was worth it. After taking a look I made a offer and was on my way home with about 500 new comics. It was mainly books from the late 60's and earluy 70's. No high dollar keys but some cool books....at a decent price.

Here are some some pics

The couple boxes before I went thru them

Syn's back issue buys

syntaxic — Thu, 03 Apr 2008 08:45:27 GMT

So, same old idea as on the old forum...

Start off with these:
Amazing Spider-Man 239 (2nd Hobgoblin) - $0.50
Wolverine 1984 Mini 1-4 - $0.50 each
Wolverine 1988 Series 1 - $0.50
New Mutants Special Edition 1 - $0.50

The Wolverine Mini series issues aren't in the best of conditions, but the Wolverine (1988) 1 and ASM issues are pretty nice. I'll post pics when I get home from the job.

So, yeah, good times.

new books in.

Wizard World Chicago purchases

Boboset — Tue, 01 Jul 2008 05:34:01 GMT

I got back from Wizard World Chicago yesterday and here are pictures of what I purchased. The show was really cool and lots of fun. Tons of hot girls dressed as super heroes, nice deals on back issues, just a good overall experience. I forgot how much you can stretch your dollars when buying multiple books from one dealer at conventions, however, I was surprised by how few sunday super deals I could find but not so much considering I primarily collect SA Marvel. On a side note, NEVER buy your comics at Black Cat Comics, the main guy at the booth is a complete a-hole and an idiot to boot. Anyways, heres what I got, hope you like the pictures and the stack with ASM #348 is all newer ASM books that you wouldnt even want to see pictures of.

I'll be posting the ASM 3 in the grading section soon

Just ordered a bunch off ebay

Harb — Tue, 01 Jul 2008 10:09:00 GMT

I will know more by the end of the week. I probably did 10 small purchases last week.
total spent $175 (mostly the watchmen)
Watchman 1-12 and 2,4,6-9
DD 101x2,111,116,121,135,149,154,163,169,171-175,177,183,184,186,187,192-204,
Since some of the orders were between 2 and 20 issues there are a few doubles coming, which is totally fine. I have no problems having multiple Frank Miller DD's.

Detective Comics 44

marmat — Mon, 30 Jun 2008 15:26:37 GMT

I just won this auction, the most I ever spent on a comic book:

http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&rd=1&item=140243371819&ssPageName=STRK:MEWN:IT&ih=004

I was surprised it ended so low....Or am I wrong? I think I got a very good deal on this one, but I am not so sure, so any comment are welcome

My oldest book yet.

Moving the thread from the old board to here since the admins seem incapable of moving the old threads.

Is this serious?

Capn — Mon, 30 Jun 2008 12:18:31 GMT

I am by no means an expert... but when I saw this, I just couldn't believe it. To me, this is just a 2nd printing. Your thoughts?

Found a box of really old stuff.

Harb — Sun, 29 Jun 2008 11:34:52 GMT

Various misc. titles from the mentioned publishers.
Whitman, goldkey, marvel, charlton, modern
Does anyone know if there are some titles I should be looking for? Most of these seem to be from the early 70's.

Thanks,

~Kev
