Thanks. As an extra bonus I was able to delete 3 of my saved searches.
Down to 97 now, but it won't be long before back up to 100.

On Friday I was contemplating a $32 snipe bid on some Hanna-Barbera memorabilia.
As the countdown reached around 20 secs I moved my mouse cursor over the the bid square
and the current bid suddenly jumped to $110 from $26, and a few seconds later it was at $130.
It ended up at $152. Now they just need to add some sound effects.

I checked out your recent buys in the "ebay" thread robotcat and MAN!!! did you get some sweet deals. Congrats.

I must say, your Incredible Hulk buys (both recent and past) have greatly increased my interest in trying to collect them (again). I had a run probably from about 160ish-340ish when I was younger. Sadly they did not survive college but I really did enjoy this title.

Great Defenders #1 also.

robotcat is back in the saddle!!

I'm glad that the thread has returned!!



You are working on your Daredevil collection and I'm working the Batman angle!! That was a great lot you got at an amazing price. That's a lot of grading brother. Really nice scans; thank you for taking the time to post them! I never really gave Daredevil a chance. What do you like about the character robotcat?

TEX

PS How is your Hulk collection coming along?

There's nothing particular about the character that I like. I just like reading Marvel comics in general. I've read a few dozen of the issues that I have and their groups of separate time periods. The earliest ones that I've read are 3,6,7,13,16-17 & 19 the last 4 I've had for close to 20 years, so it's been a while since I read them, but the first 3 are more recent purchases.
They were pretty good. It was neat seeing him start off as a rookie superhero. In #3 he made the classic noobie mistake of calling out his friend's name while in disguise. In this case he said "Watch out Karen!"(he immediately realized his faux pas) and then after the danger had subsided had to come up with a reason as to how he knew her name. It all happened near or in Murdock's office, so I believe he just said that he knew she worked for him. #6 was okay. In #7 he represented Namor as Murdock and then battled him as DD when he broke out of jail.

The next grouping that I read was between 79-101 when he was hangin' with the Black Widow. I bought those about 8 years ago for about $1 to $3 each from a LCS. They were pretty good. My favorite had a villain that made everyone hallucinate as if they were on a bad acid trip. I can't remember how it affected DD.

The next grouping is 227-233, these make up a complete storyline by Miller. I bought these at a convention about 20 years ago. I remember the covers, but the story is vague.

The final grouping is probably between 270-320. These were ones I bought off the rack during my heyday of collecting new comics. The copies I have now are not the same ones I had then. Those probably ended up at HPB or with a friend who bought a lot of my lower value books for $.25 a piece. Fortunately, I've been able to re-acquire them for about the same price.

I haven't made a hulk purchase in a while, but my recent spidey win has arrived:
$16.28 + $18.55 s/h
20 Marvel Tales: # 129,133,134,136-145,179,181-186,
9 Marvel Team-Ups: # 81,93,101,114,115,119,121,122,123
36 Spectacular: #55,62-73,75,76,77,106-113,123,148,157,159,162,166,169,170, Annuals #5, 8 & 9
31 Amazing: 216,218,220-221,223,226-228,230-235,268-275,286,314,340(x2)-341, Annuals 16,19,22-23
13 Web: # 6-13,59,69-70, Annuals #1 & 5
3 Spiderman #3,4,5.
1 WHAT IF VOL.2 #20
This mainly added to my SSM, WoSM, and Tales sets. Maybe 4 to ASM and 2 to MTU
All were pretty much mid-grade books. Only 3 or 4 of them were bagged, and the way were packed(with large bubble wrap) probably added a few bends and creases. But 113 comics for $35 isn't too bad.

This also arrived:
Captain America Thor & Fantastic Four Bronze Age Lot
$17.49 + $12.00 s/h

Captain America 179 180 188 189 192 196-199 219 220 222 224 226 227 234
Fantastic Four 148 149 151 153 156 159-162 165 172 -177 179 183 185-188 191 194 196
Thor 230 235 242 245 247 255-263 270 273 277-279 281-287 297
Marvel Spotlight 30
Doctor Strange 14,17,19,26-28,30

This added 14 Caps, 6 FFs,22 Thors, 6 DrS, and 1 MSpot to my collection.

I was pretty disappointed with the condition of this lot. It's mostly low grade with a few mids. But given that I'm only out $30 for 76 early to mid bronze age comics, Ill get over it.
