I could have gotten several copies of Turok #1 and Magnus #25 for $3 each, but I decided to pass on that deal.

I bet you floated out of there getting those two for 2 bones...congrats

Well, they are a little banged up. Spine creases, scuff marks, etc. But, I was still happy to have them at $1 each!

Magnus 25 and Turok #1 for $3.00 is a deal like $11.99 for a whopper and fries at a theatre is a deal.

I was on vacation last week and only stopped in one shop, this little one in Boone, N.C. Didn't have much but there was some pretty cool stuff in the 50-cent box. I got Invincible 3 and 4 out of there, surprisingly in NM- condition.

Yeah, at first I thought they must have been some kind of reprints or something. I also got a few Death of Superman books ... is that crap still worth anything?

Superman #75 4th print newsstand version with UPC code and Platinum version are worth some coin.
There is also a Platinum version of the Death of Superman TPB that sells for between $25 - $50.

My brother was with me he said he never saw my wallet fly out of my pocket so fast, my hand was shaking. He did not know what the books were, but by my reaction he said he knew it had to be a good deal. I did not haggle with the guy. I just pulled my money out as quick as posible.

Very Nice! Did you ask if he had any others?

I got so excited after seeing the ew vvss I paid him and left. I walked about 100 meters then said to my bro man I should go back and see what else was in the box. When we returned the guy sold the two shot boxes he had for 75. O well I still think it was a good find.

They very rarely come up for sale. When books aren't in the market much, the guide sometimes becomes more of a "minimum guess" for the first one that shows up when there's demand.

Ebay has one right now for the first time in a long time:

That's crazy high bidding happening there - and still 4 days to go?

Picked up a complete run of individually bagged and boarded high grade Defiant Comics for 13.00. Even had two trades, though not the Birth of the Defiant Universe, of course.

Super deal. I am still hunting for one of those.

I remember when Greg picked up a Birth of the Defiant Universe CGC 9.8 on the Collectors Society Forum for under $200 a while back, and was shocked it hadn't gone for more.

Well I tried to sell one at $200 for several months, and eventually settled on around $180 I believe...a high percentage of these books are NM/M...

They are gorgeous books. Aren't they done with a plastic cover like the Marvels 1-4 series?
