Recent additions to the collection.
I was combing thru Craigslist as I usually do expecting the usual fare, when a new ad jumped out at me. It was recently posted that day. I responded and was able to connect with a real nice dude named Dale on 7-30-13. He was a fellow collector that was parting out his collection. He had re adjusted some of his priorities and was of a frame of mind to move some things. I bought a fist-full of other things from him not pictured. For whats pictured, I think I did OK for $110 bucks.
He also had a Hulk 181 and X-men 94 (along with some other nice cherries) that I passed on. I could have been greedy and bought them to flip them for a profit - But I chose to take what I needed for my collection and then forward his contact info to a few local collectors that are friends of mine and let them have a go. Share the wealth my brothers.

I picked up this little gem at the flea market last Saturday (6-22-2013) for $5 BUCKS! A guy was selling off all of his household to move to Costa Rica. Apparently healthcare there is $25 dollars a month.

(6-22-2013) Sure it has some shipping issues along the edge and bottom. But for .50 cents can you complain about a low number Tomb of Dracula? I couldn't.
(6-22-2013) I dont really look for this title. But again, when a low issue number of any silver age title comes you way pay em and say thanks - ESPECIALLY when its .50 cents.
(6-22-2013) I do love the Teen Titans. How can you say no to Wonder girls groovy new threads? This issue came out in 1969 and is really suberb.

(6-22-2013) More Thor - One day I might actually finish my run of Thor from 83-200. One more down.
(6-22-2013) The cover on this book is why I bought it! I remember when it came out new and its just as cool 30yrs later.
(6-22-2013) This book was hard to find. Sure it may look like just another old Indy book... but dig a little deep and you'll realize that Starslayer #2 is the 1st appearance of Dave Stevens "Rocketeer". If you can locate this issue for a Buck, I'd suggest you buy it.
How can you go wrong with a classic battle?
My main man Rick came thru for me on this one!
Acquired @ the NC Comicon on 11-5-2011
This Dr Strange 183 completes the fun for me.
This Chamber of Darkness #4 is a Smith and Thomas Conan knock-off before Marvel landed the publishing rights to do Conan for real.
And then lastly Sgt Fury #13 which needs no preface.
It has been a while since I picked up anything meaningful to add to the collection. This past weekend 10-8-2011 I managed to pick up a G copy of Iron Man #4 for 2 dollars.
