Holy shit - I just lucked into three long boxes and 2 short boxes..

[mike black]

A friend of my girlfriend's just traded for three long boxes and 2 short boxes..

So far I happen to know that there is a complete run of Bone in single issues. More coming...

All first printings? Those early issues are worth some major cash.

[mike black]

I have heard the names Mark Buckingham, "Ninjack", Turok, some bad girl comics....Looks like I've got some shit to go through.

I'm on the phone with her right now. I'm not sure. Color cover, b & w interior. She's going to take some pictures and send them to me a little later.

[Uther]

What did you trade?

[mike black]

What did you trade?

The did was getting evicted, so she helped him move out.

He asked her if she wanted anything in payment, and she said "I'll take the comics for my boyfriend."

He said he didn't really pay attention to them, and that he just collected comics to collect them. She said they're bagged and boarded. So I'll have to go through and grade them.

That's fucking awesome, man.

[RebootedCorpse]

Totally worth trading your girlfriend for. WIN!

If it really is a first printing of Bone's individual issues, I think it would be. :shifty:

[ZombieSpeedball]

Dude, that's sick. Here's hoping the Bone issues are first printings!

[mike black]

It's like my own personal little Economic Stimulus Package!

[costello]

Any chance you could sell the comics and buy Zevad a used car? You'd get mucho karma points. I'm gonna buy some lottery tickets and I'm mailing him any of the winnings I get.

If I weren't driving a death box myself, then maybe.

Well at least you considered it.

But no one even STOLE your death box.

It's pink, man. It's PINK.

[Donal DeLay]

oooh - If they're Quesada's Ninjak issues, I'll give you a popsicle for them.

[mike black]

Omg! Rom!

[Gunter]

Omg! Rom!

Now that's a good score!

[mike black]

Dude! She's like "Makronaus?"

"What?"

"Monkronatz?"

"Turn off you speaker phone."

"M.I.C.R.O.N.A..."

"HOLY FUCK! MICRONAUTS!"

Also...Beowulf - Dragon Slayer popped up. As well as JLA Rock Of Ages and a few Turok books, and 39 issues of Bone - she said there are some duplicates. No idea what printing they are.

[Gunter]

Micronauts too?

The two series I would love to see collected, Rom and Micronauts.

That's too cool.

[Thudpucker]

Omg! Rom!

Score! :rock:

[The Zevad]

If I weren't driving a death box myself, then maybe.

Costello you're a nice guy man. Appreciate you trying with the lotto tickets but hey it's gambling. So 50/50 yeah no. And hey Mike? Hey thanks for considering it. Fix your death box. But hey if anyone wants to throw me a 1,000 bucks towards my new box on wheels fund I won't refuse. Sigh. Oy. 3 months of hell here we go!!!!

[mike black]

Forgot to post these, but these were taken by my g/f.

From what I can tell it's nothing amazingly rare (as far as the Bone stuff goes) there are a couple of Image reprints and a few 3rd and fourth printings in there. So no new car for me. I'll report more when I get them in hand and get to look at them.

That's a serious haul, valuable or not! Nice!

[mike black]

That's just the Bone stuff. And it looks like only 1/10 of a long box. So we'll see when I get to go through the rest of it.

I was hoping, though, that they were original early issues of Bone. I'd finally be able to buy a new car.

As someone who recently sold off an almost complete run of first print Bones, I can tell you that they aren't worth that much.

The first 6 or so issues are worth about 200 - 400 a pop for first printings. That's a down payment man.

[Adrian B AWESOME]

You don't have a full-run of Bone, and you have a lot of Image reprints in there.

Tell you what: Don't sell it. Keep it. Because Bone is amazing in every facet.

Says who? The price guides?
Pffft. Those things are horribly inaccurate for a private seller.

You'd never get that kind of money for them.
Check the prices on ebay. That'll be a lot more representational of what you would have actually gotten for them.

For example, here's a first print VF #1 that went for $114.

and here's a 7.0 #2 first print that went for $30.

[I AM GROOT!]

Omg! Rom!

If you look down at my sig, you can tell my feeling on this find. :heart:

I reluctantly traded off some of my ROM comics for LCS credit (although I still have some left), and I regret it to no end. I've been searching e-bay for complete runs.


Dude! She's like "Makronaus?"

"What?"

"Monkronatz?"

"Turn off you speaker phone."

"M.I.C.R.O.N.A..."

"HOLY FUCK! MICRONAUTS!"

Also...Beowulf - Dragon Slayer popped up. As well as JLA Rock Of Ages and a few Turok books, and 39 issues of Bone - she said there are some duplicates. No idea what printing they are.

Another series I love. Both the original and the New Voyages. I even read the Micronauts series that Image/Devil's Due put out a few years ago...not nearly as good (no Bug, of course!) but still pretty good and worth a read.

Yeah, those Bones look like reprints. I'd still either keep them or maybe sell them on e-bay so you can get some money to buy the one-volume collection.

Was the phone distorting her speech so you couldn't understand her or she literally couldn't read the title?

[nick maynard]

thats awesome about the bone comics, just for the sake of the covers! they look so good.

[mike black]

Was the phone distorting her speech so you couldn't understand her or she literally couldn't read the title?

I think she was trying to figure out the best way to pronounce it, and she was on speaker phone.

Gotta leave for work in a minute, but I took cam phone shots of the boxes as I went through them last night. Minor bust. The "Space Knights" she was talking about wasn't ROM, but some other Marvel comic that looks like anime. The Micronauts & Transformers books are all newer issues.

Tons of Dawn, a full run of Mutant X, a wierd Jeff Loeb bad girl book caleld Coven, and a full fucking box of early Youngblood and Stormwatch books - nice finds are Life During War Time, The Bone Rose Mini, an issue of Nocturals, a ton of VALIANT runs, & Fables #1.
