One of my local comic shops runs an insane Black Friday sale every year, and I've never had the chance to go until now.
Oh boy.
Bought nearly 300 books tonight (almost the size of my entire collection as an adolescent) for $270. I'd approximate these books were worth about $700.
Very few keys, but lots of stuff I really wanted.
Highlights include:
1st Arms Falling Off Boy
1st Wonder Woman/Wonder Girl/Wonder Tot team-up
Early Aqualad and Wonder Girl stories
1st Captain Marvel (Mar-Vel) in new costume
102 Disney Ducks books from the Gemstone Era (my personal favorite post-Barks)
52 Superman books taking my Post-Crisis run that previously ended in early 1993 up to late 1994 with a few gaps.
My favorite era of Groo, beginning with the 1st appearance of Rufferto (21 issues with no gaps)
27 utterly random books that only I could be excited about
10 run-filler issues of Alpha Flight
22 classic Bronze Age Archie books
7 Silver Age Superboy books
7 Silver Age Star Trek books
Can't remember the last time I spent this much on comics.
Felt good.
And, best of all, I had my partner in crime's help (most of those Archie books were for her):
