i bought a large large LARGE buttload of comics for 300 bucks. and i'm now here to talk about the things i've learned 24 hours into having bought every bit of over 10 grand of comics.

coolest shit i've found
2 complete sets of alan moore era Excalibur
2 copies of first beta ray bill appearance
most of a complete set of ostanders spectre

most uncool shit i've found
i pretty much own every ultimate marvel comic made
i now own the entire original valiant comics universe and the acclaim stuff except shadowman
>god i hope i find the shadowman shit
the nightmares of nineties comics are at my house


most infuriating thing about this
incomplete mutant x series
>i love me some adventures of the six.
one f-ing issue short of the complete netwave floppies
all of 2099 except spiderman 2099
all this stuff from the 90's and there's no ultraverse superhero books.
i found three copies of the infamous doom crying over 911 issue.

>infuriating
>found three copies of the infamous doom crying over 911 issue.

You best be disappointed that you didn't find more.

You live in a trailer, why are you spending $300 on anything but a storm shelter?

>i found three copies of the infamous doom crying over 911 issue.
this is a positive

>all of 2099 except spiderman 2099
Well Punisher 2099 is fun

was it sorted ?

Wait, why are you buying so many comics again?

hell no it was not.

i live in a house an renovated craftsman house. it's inhumanly cheap for an area where the lowest rent is 600 bucks, no low income housing, and i only pay 275.

>Wait, why are you buying so many comics again?
because i paid three hundred bucks for comics that are at a dollar hell at a quarter each is vatly more than i paid for it. there's a box of almost a thousand dollars worth of conan magazines for christ sakes.

tell me you wouldnt buy this and ill call you a lier.

>$300 blind buy of random comics that could've been anything

What if it was nothing but copies of the Doom 9/11 issue

>lier

What US State are you in, again?

inb4 MS AL

>several hundred copies of Doom 9/11
you could cut the panels out and create some wallpaper of Doom crying

Cool stuff, nobody around here collects comics.
Although Moore never wrote Excalibur.

And the early Valiant stuff is actually good and some of it is worth money now.

Ah, that makes sense. Somehow I misinterpreted your original post as habibg spent 10k tital on comics. Fyi the 9-11 Spidey issue still pulling nice coin. Don't be so disappointed.

>Cool stuff, nobody around here collects comics.
>Although Moore never wrote Excalibur.
it's the alan davis era excalibur then. i always thought moore and davis did the crosstime caper era.

i knew the guy personally he wouldn't cheat me. my temper is pretty much legend around here where i live.

>alan moore era Excalibur
Do you mean Captain Britain? Or Claremont or Davis Excalibur? Alan Moore never wrote Excalibur.

Should have read the whole thread before posting, since you already corrected.

The Crosstime Caper was Claremont/Davis.

>2 complete sets of Alan Moore era Excalibur
>2 copies of first beta ray bill appearance
>most of a complete set of ostanders spectre
Keep those, get rid of the rest.

>i found three copies of the infamous doom crying over 911 issue.

There's people still willing to pay more than $50 for it if eBay is anything to go by.

Lucky duck.
Don't forget to post the fat stacks from the ones you sell.

i should get rid of the entire punisher series "nam"

No, you shouldn't.

Nice you made a thread for it, we gonna get pics? you said in the last shelf thread there was more stuff than you listed here, i think...

anyways, show us the goods

everything i mentioned was the high value stuff. not by far an exhaustive list of everything in these boxes. of course the guy who considers almost everything printed after 1989 as worthless i might be biased a bunch

>rent less than 1000
I want to live where you do user. I'm tired of this inflated West coast life

Give us a complete list so we can help you better.

two incomplete sets of frikken wolfman perez era teen titans.

Keep them.

we dont wanna see all the high value shit just post some of the neater stuff, even if a series is incomplete theres still key issues and story arcs to go with.

Keep the Claremont and Hama runs, if you have them.

both there's dupes of pretty much everything almost. still strying to figure out if i wanna play the long game of selling it or the short game. i'm trying to separate everything decent to sell the stuff like world war hulk off to some Craigslist reseller sucker like i usually do.

Great stuff user. Worth keeping Ronin as well imo.
I'm into pre 90's Marvel & DC and would say it's worth taking a good look at any of that stuff and keeping the choice bits

as i said i'm trying to get rid of the crap to sell hopefully that will recover my initial investment and free up room to look into the stuff worth keeping.

ain't much in the 90's to keep is there?

...

Cool, I'm really interested in what you dig up. Keep us posted

fucking awesome!
>thor for asgard
BEST

where do you live

Just remember
>Butterfly in the sky
>I can fly twice as high

I'M BURIED UNDER COMICS LAVAR. THIS IS NOT THE TIME, CALL THE ROBOT WITH A CAT TO GET IN HERE AND DIG ME OUT.

OOooHH there's the first ultraverse comic i've seen so far. fffff it's marvel's ultraverse HARD PASS.

just north of the banjos. someone should seriously do something about that kinda rapey banjo music

OMG I JUST FOUND THE KIRBY BOOKS!!! OMG I OWN ACTUAL NM JACK KIRBY BOOKS

Definitely keep them.

this box of kirbys, starlin thanos and a complete infinity guantlet is making up for the box of nothing but wolverine deadpool and spawn

Agreed.

Why don't you actually try posting some pictures OP, you lying ballsack?

Fucking this

yeah i'm totally making this shit up.

there's no kid in a candy store like mania going on at all

there's totally not a guy having a total geekgasm in here.

yup, there's not a kid in the candy store situation going on here

>and now you know why i made the joke i was buried alive

Keep.

Lol, I'm not sure why everyone wanting pics it would take you fuckin ages... also dont listen to that guy giving his keep/shit opinions on every post... alot of the stuff hes crapping on is at least worth putting aside. get the certified grade-A garbage out first..

for ex, not all of the ultimate line is godawful and worthless, most of what came late was, but early Ultimate X-Men (up to around issue 50), Ultimates (not the 3rd one), and quite alot of ultimate spiderman were pretty decent, and the nostalgiafag bracket moves along every year, theres probably people out there who'd love to have a good run of USM because that was actually the one they read as a kid.
