Recent purchase thread.

First topic message reminder :

Post up all of your recent purchases here, comics and toys.

Glad to see those arrived Paul. That cover for Vol. 2 is just funky looking. Just got to love the art of the Golden Age.

Paul those Captain America classic years are amazing! I love those covers

I' ve been slack with my recent pickups updates. So here's todays pickups.

I went to the antique shop here in town with Sari and discovered that they have comics . The guy who owns the place with his wife has almost every issue of Batman frm about 1970 up to about four years ago he said. Not sure if he ment Batman or Detective Comic or maybe both I'll have to ask next time I go in.

Here we have Detective Comics issues 486 & 543 and World's Finest issue 283. There was much more but I just wanted to grab some random books. He has loads more books in his house in storage I'll have to get him to drag some out sometime. These are just his extras.

Been awhile since I really added anything substantial to the thread, so Ill make up for it to day.

First off is a few Sandman issues Mike sent me.




Next is some books I got from Dallas awhile back



Now for my Ebay pick ups.

New Avengers series 1 1-43, plus annual 2 and 2 one shots with the virgin cover of #1







Astonishing X-Men





The seller of the New Avengers threw these in as a bonus since he had them listed wrong to make up for it.



2 of the AVX issues I could find first prints of.



And this is from a box lot of 200 I picked up fairly cheap



















Now for todays haul. After working 30 days straight I thought to treat myself to a few issues. Heres from the small shop I found last time I went.





These are from my regular shop







Now for the 50 cent/$1 boxes. I didnt even finish looking through them cause of the guy next to me was ying yanging the whole time and I couldnt concentrate on what I was grabbing plus I was getting a bad headache to boot. So to say I ended up with a few doubles today cause of it. Awesome score either way on what I was able to find.

that's a lot of comics there, looks like there are some good issues in that lot and a few that I know are good.

Double Tadlight there Chris . I'll post mine later when I'm not as tired.

Believe me. The ones I found in the cheap bins I was surprised to find. There was a load od DDP G.I. Joes stuff in there and plenty of a few of the other titles. Wish I wouldve made it to the last 2-3 boxes to see what I missed. Paul, if you need a copy of that Dark Reign: The List Hulk, the shop had 10-15 copies left. I figured if I got there early enough, I could spend time without a bunch of people being there. I was the only one for maybe 20 min until Mr. Ying Yang came in.

What i need are copies of Hulk Smash Avengers isues 1,3,4,5. My shop can't keep them in stock. I managed to get issue 2 last trip.

Wish I knew it sooner. Couldve snagged 1,3, and 4. Didnt see 5.

Forgot to add these. The bottom two are postcards and the top two are just cards the shop had.

Holy cow Chris!! Looks like you won the lottery of comics!

Sweet pickups guys!!

Oooooh I had a good week on Ebay last week. I'm going to have to reel in my collecting budget for awhile, since we're in the process of buying a new house. FIRST house actually!!!!! So I had a big binge to celebrate . I got a bunch of Captain America books. Enjoy.

First up is Captain America Series 5. I picked up almost the whole set. Only missing issues 40 and 42 out of 50.






Also picked up issues 600-605


And some mini-series.

Captain Anerica Reborn 1-6.


Captain America Patriot 1-4.


Captain America The Chosen 1-6.


Captain America Hail HYDRA 1-5


Captain America Corps. 1-5.


Captain America Fallen Son: The Death Of Captain America. Not sure if I have all of these or not. Have to look them up.


That should keep me occupied reading for awhile don`t you think?

Nice pick ups. I need to start on finishing series 5 now since I picked up a few over the weekend.

I have an extra issue 16 that came with this lot.

I only buy trades but seeing all those Cap comics lined up. That looks pretty impressive!

Paul that is a very nice looking set of Captain Americas you have got yourself there sir, nice pick up.

Was thinking of doing this once a month, but after today decided against that. So with that, heres my latest for June. I still got one package on the way and couldnt wait.

Part 2









































Now for the top two in the bunch

X-Men Giant Size #2



Shade The Changing Man Vol1. #1

I'll comment while this hookup will let me stay connected for a few seconds. WOW WOW WOW WOW!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Chris, great stuff man!!

A nice Tadlight there Chris, I was getting finger ache just scrolling down them all

Just got the last of Junes purchases in today.

Uncanny X-Men. Now Im down to 132 for the set.







Mike you think your fingers hurt scrolling, shouldve seen me try to get all that photographed! It was insane, comics scattered everywhere. Thats why I decided to do it more than once a month.

Nice X books. the last 132 will go quickly now. I'm so behind in posting pickups. i'll have to start fresh next batch in.

For my wife's birthday I picked her up the first 7 HC's of the Walking Dead. What a great read! I cannot recommend them enough!
