Everybody else has one.

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.

I spent the weekend a few weeks ago looking for comics on ebay that were listed wrong or mispelled. I bought a few. Here's one that I thought was pretty good. It was listed as "Marvel Comic" w/ no picture.

UXM #36

***edit --- sorry, pictures have been deleted***

I paid $0.99 and was the only bidder

Also got this lot of four from the same seller as above for $3.00 total ($0.75 each)...not to bad and I loved reading these as a kid. My grandma always had horror comics in her basement when we went to visit.

Good pickups, I'll have to try to look for some of these oddities.

"They are blind to history's clear lesson, for history teaches with unmistakable emphasis that appeasement but begets new and bloodier war. It points to no single instance where this end has justified that means, where appeasement has led to more than a sham peace. Like blackmail, it lays the basis for new and successively greater demands until, as in blackmail, violence becomes the only other alternative."

Nice man. I've poked through ebay for such poorly described listings, but I've never found anything I wanted. They always go for so little, you'd think people would learn.

Picked these up in a lot entitled "VINTAGE COMICS: mixed, Warlock! NR" for $5.51 total (about $1.84 each)

The Marvel Premier #1 is in great shape (I have it as a 7.5 but it might be higher) and the whites on the Flash #140 are very bright (the FF #56 is eh, so-so).

7.5 for real? It looks a bit beat up for a VF-. Some creases on both right corners, and is that a tear by the 'M' in Marvel?

Good catch Speedy...I meant to put it at Fine- (5.5). I'm still learning to match the number grading to their corresponding letter (or words) +/- . I usually double check myself when it comes to this but the main site is running slow for me. Also, that is a gouge by the 'M' not a tear (doesn't go through). It does look nasty in the scan though    and that large crease (upper right) looks worse in the scan also. Apparently even a 5.5 on this book was to generous.

Back to the drawing board (but that's why I'm here...to learn this stuff). Thanks.
