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.

So, here's some pics of the latest pic ups. As you can see, the Wolverine Mini is so-so shape: lots of spine wear, some creases, even a straw pen marking on #1 by the "I." However, I'm not horribly surprised as they were dropped off at my LCS just thrown in a box, with little organization. Honestly, I'm surprised the ASM and Wolvie 1 are in as good of shape as they are. The ASM has a crease on the back bottom corner and the Wolvie just has some soiling, but considering the circumstances, they're in fantastic shape.

I'll be heading to a local show this weekend, so hopefully I'll get some good pickups to add here.

Sadly, no really great deals, but I had been trying to track down nearly all of those for a good while, so there's always that.

So, while picking up my weekly comics today, I bought a back issue of Spec. Spider-Man. The owner of the store informs me that he was getting ready to toss the lot in the 50 cent bin and that I can essentially help myself, which I did.

So, here goes the latest pickups:
Spectacular Spider-Man 23, 28, 40, 42, 64, 70, 74-78, 80, 81, 83, 84, 97, 99, 122, 132, 125, 128-130, 137, 140-145, 147 (x5), 150, 151, 153-155, 158, 161, 166, 171, 172, 175, 176, 179, 195, 223, 253, 256, 258, 262, 263, Annuals 3-7, 10, 12, 13.

Thanks much, Greg.

The owner of the store's a good guy and has been trying to liquidate some of his backstock through large 50 cent sales every other weekend. I've managed to find some pretty decent deals in there. Course, it's going to take me forever and a day to read through them all, but at least I won't be sitting around the house bored for a while...
