I love me some MINT comics. Almost as much as CINNAMON comics.

Don't know if it is really that good a deal, but it felt right. Two copies of the Harby HC for 33.98, tax included.

That lot came in today.

I bid on the lot because I saw those two oversized cards, the Harbinger and the Ninjak, and I thought they were from those card sets. Turns out they are postcards and there's a Shadowman one too. There's also quite a bit of Valiant-related stuff too, like an Advance Comics order book with Shadowman on the cover and an issue of Comics Debut promoting, among other things, Deathmate. And then there's a wealth of other early 90s bits and pieces, Marvel, DC, Ultraverse, Bravura and CGW. There's a Creator's Universe promotional card, and lots of neat little posters, including the one included with the Comico Black Box and the first Grendel/Batman.

Best part - final bid was $5.50, shipping was $3.75. It came in today, and the postage on the bag was $7.98. Dude made $1.27 off me after shipping. I would have gladly doubled that figure for him.

Makes up for the *SQUEE* who overcharge on shipping.

I saw a guy selling lots of 100 copies of Deathmate Yellow and thought of you.

No offense intended.

Tim · Post by **Tim** » Tue Nov 06, 2007 2:29 pm

I actually sold the lot I bought on eBay.

I pulled one copy out for my collection put up the auction for 199 copies.

Auction sold for .99 plus 12.00 shipping. I'm going to ask that the guy keep track of what he does with them and let me know. I'd like to know where they all end up.

I just pulled some cool books I am very excited to read out of the .50 bins.

#1) Essential Vertigo Sandman Preludes & Nocturns #2 and #3 (I know they are reprints, but who cares, I just want to read the story) and I already have #1 reprint.

#2) Frank Miller's Ronin vol. 1, #2 and #3. (I don't know if there is more than vol. 1) Now these are not in great shape, but plenty good to read. I have heard these books mentioned on the board a bunch of times, so I am excited to check them out.

#3) Jack of Fables #4-#10 & #12. I love Fables, so I was super excited to see these books in there.

Overall, I am pretty stoked about the finds.

But what was the coolest part was I took my father-in-law with me. He dig it and had a good time. I even got him a 3 pack of figures.

Good times all around.

Raw copies aren't too tough. I'm after CGC 9.8s of #3-6.

What kind of prices are you seeing? The ones I see are way too high. I would like to get one just to complete my set, but I don't want to break the bank

Extremely difficult to find as I am looking for them as well (and in 9.8). For some reason I have issues 1-5 but no six

Graded, #1 has been as low as $60 and as high as $200 over the last year or so. #2 has been steady at $50-75. That's all I've seen. No #3-6 at all.
