Personally I found the whole Omega Men series for $1 or 50 cents except issue 16 in one night, in one store. Any of the 12-20 random Suicide Squad issues I have were $1. Most of my Batman-SOTB came from $1 boxes. I didn't collect it much when it was coming out. But in the last few years I've found a lot of them in $1 boxes within the same local chain of stores. Deathlok Vol. 2 I got for $1 to 50 cents. I think I'm missing 2-3 issues. I only got Doom 2099 #1-17 back in the day. So I've been fishing bargain bins to finish that series. I think I have 10-12 still to do. I've been building on Ravage 2099, which I have about half the series so far. As well as around the first 20 issues of Captain Atom. That's the most recent ones I can think of. Since that's about all I can buy anymore. Edit: I'll concur with MRP on Warlord. I've seen them in bargain bins for many years. But only started buying them myself just this year. I have probably 30-40 issues. Mostly from #100 to the end of the series. I'm surprised that Omega men #3 is not higher in price as it's the first appearance of Lobo. This was around 2011, when I first got laid off from a nice paying job and I was going to a chain called Vintage Stock to get $1 comics. They sell video games (new & used) movies, toys, t-shirts, gaming cards, music, new and back issue comics and novels as well. And it seems each store I go to the comic section is getting smaller and smaller, so more good stuff that's just in their regular back issues is getting dumped into the $1 boxes. It seems the other stuff is keeping them profitable more than comics. The Suicide Squad issues I got (like 1-12 and then some in the #30's and #50's ) I just got last year when going to the same chain to buy a Pokemon game for my son's birthday. I don't think there's really knowledgeable people for comics that work there. Especially looking at their "glass case worthy" comics, which are just random silver aged comics, overpriced. Also to dump some of their back issues, several of the locations had long boxes full of comics, that were sealed. So what, 300-400(?) comics in one box, for $40. I finally bought one earlier this year. It wasn't as good as I had hoped, but I did get some samplings of titles I was unaware of or hadn't tried for one reason or another, that I may try in the future, or search for at the library. |

I haven't seen a high grade copy of Omega Men 3 at a show or sell at auction for less than $50 in 2 years of looking for it (there's usually 1 or 2 copies in the Lonestar auction every month), and no one seems to have low grade reading copies of it for sale (I haven't seen a copy below F/VF in hose 2 years). The rest of the Omega Men run can be had for cheap, but that issue is still hard to find at a decent price, and I don't believe it has been collected in trade anywhere (at least not that I know of) -M I have no idea what my copy is graded at. Though I would say it's probably not lower that F/VF. But probably not NM either. I read through the series when I bought it, and then bagged and/or boarded what wasn't and filed it away. After looking at it on Lone Star (to find my missing issue and the annuals) I haven't taken it out again. I'll hang on to it to sell at some point, as I did some random Deadpool one-shots, some Harley Quinn appearances and New Mutants #98 back in 2008 for a nice profit to buy the kids a Xbox 360. Not having that one issue is not going to disrupt me from reading the series again when I want to when it gets sold. Of course at the moment, all Lone Star has is CGC versions for sale, so hard to see what an actual comic is selling for. |
