| Wife found a garage sale listed on craigslist said it had 5000+ comics mostly moderns early 80's through late 90's Marvel/DC mostly...now these are few and far between in my neck of the woods, but this one was by my brother's place (30 min. drive) so I said what the F' and went to check it out. Here's what I got: .Uncanny X-Men #221-243, 246-299 (doubles of 282, 284-292, 294-295, 297-298) .Amazing Spider-Man #181, 252, 253, 255, 280-363, 365, 374, 375, 378-380 (doubles of 300, 361, 363) .Amazing Spider-Man annuals #11, 12, 21 and king size special #7 .Batman: The Dark Knight Returns #1 (2nd printing), 2-4 (all first printings) .New Mutants #87 and Incredible Hulk #377 .Ghost Rider #25-34 .Doctor Strange #25, 28-33 .Ka-Zar #3 .Marvel Super Heroes #26 .Marvel Premiere #41, .Amazing Adventures #35 .Conan #100 .Avengers annual #6
also picked up Spider-Man #1 (2 green cover, 2 silver cover and 1 gold cover) all in original bags unopened and Marvel Milestone Edition Amazing Fantasy #15 cost for all 226 comics... ***drum roll please*** $210.00 (that's under 93 cents an issue) Most are in VF/NM condition with most being slightly better and a few being slightly worse. He told me to email him on Sunday night to ask if anything was left. He had a lot more I would like (Incredible Hulk, Captain America, Avengers, Batman, etc...all around a similar time period) but I ran out of cash.
***edit 3/7/2009*** sorry...I used to have pics when this was first posted but they have since vanished and a lot/most of what I had found is no longer in my possession

It points to no single instance where this end has justified that means, where appeasement has led to more than a sham peace.

*grumble grumble*
How do some of you score these amazing garage sale deals? I go to a garage sale and its like shoes, aquarium, an old rug, a picture frame, a broken lamp, coffee mugs, tv stand from 1973, hideous clothes, some crappy records......so on. You guys go and score some sick comics. 2 copies of ASM 300?
WHAT THE HELL!!!!!!!!!
I'm very happy for you deadone....oh....so happy.
----------------

Someone: "So I hear you collect Spider-Man comics."
Me: "Yep."
Someone: "Well I happen to have Amazing Spider-Man #92"
Me: "I have #1"
Someone: ".......oh."
It's those little victories that make life worth living.

DeadOne (8/24/2008)
PEP (8/24/2008) WOW, great find, now get them all on ebay and make some cash.not all of them...but definitely enough of them Alright PEP, I took your free, offered in good faith, no commision warranted advice and sold 74 of the 101 Spider-Man comics that I found (the other 27 didn't sell...yet) Cost to me at the garage sale = $74.00 Total yield after all sales ended on ebay = $526.68 (not counting amounts paid for shipping...but I did subtract the ebay/paypal fees)  (I know!)
