Not quite purchased, but I got a wonderful care package from the inimitable brutalis containing Uncle Scrooge: The Twenty-Four Carat Moon, three issues of IDW's Uncle Scrooge, the issue of Back Issue magazine with the Bronze-Age Archies and an issue of the re-launched FOOM (which I did not know was a thing). I've not had much time to dig in to them, but it is much appreciated. And the timing convinces me this wasn't some sort of vote-buying scheme for the Jamies. Thanks, Brutalis. |

Picked up some books locally today, a few from one of my LCS's, and some from a local private sale I found on craigslist. I'm not a big Green Lantern collector, but the guy made me an offer I couldn't refuse on a package deal on the silver age books. This isn't everything, but it's some of the highlights--

That's what I said for silver-age Sgt Fury...now I have about 30 of them 
One here, one there...it adds up.

Self control goes right out the window when you start getting into a series. Especially if the price is right. I was only going to get Unknown Soldier from where the Showcase Editions ended. Reality now? Only need 2 left to complete the entire run. |

It’s all paper to me. If Black Panther wasn’t important to me then, it isn’t important to me now.

I know exactly what you mean. Can't say how many times that has happened to me. In this case, the Black Panther #1 wasn't a super deal, but it was priced slightly below it's true grade. The book is a 6.5, and this book goes for around $65-75 in the raw 6.0-7.0 grade range, so it was priced just a smidge under market rate for its condition. Now, I've only got 3 issues to go on this run, none of which are terribly expensive.
Regarding craigslist, it's pretty much a crapshoot. Some good deals to be found, but 70% of the time it's people who think they really have something and price it ridiculously, when in reality what they have is usually a bunch of dollar box filler.
