I got this in the mail today:

I'm a big fan of the Englehart/Rogers run in general and the two-issue "laughing fish" arc in particular. One of these show up on Heritage and I figured- why not. Now I just need a nice #476.

Just thought I'd share a few more books from my collection. It's fun talking about what other people are buying, but I'm plugging away at my own corner of the universe and that's even more fun for me.

Daredevil 43 CGC 9.4

I've been buying Silver/Bronze Age Daredevils again. High grade. Pedigrees where available.

More photos from the show later. For now, this is what I bought:

Beyond hitting up all the amazing people in the hobby for personal knowledge, I keep a reasonable research library around here. One that I'm always adding to. This is what I've got right now:

Still looking for a couple of Overstreets (1,2 and I can't find my #5,) but beyond that I'm hunting for some of the smaller catalogs (All Star, etc.) and am looking into putting together a full collection of Comic Book Marketplace…

These both arrived today:

Yes, a GD- (according to Heritage, at least) Green Lantern #1 next to a gorgeous Pacific Coast Green Lantern 42. Quite a pair.

I'll be reading the GL #1 tonight.

This is a nice looking little book.

And yeah, Lone Wolf and Cub just might be the best comic series I've ever read. This is an extremely limited edition Dark Horse put out to commemorate the release of the series.

I won two books on Sunday night for roughly the same price:

Green Lantern #1 (DC, 1960) Condition: GD-

and

Green Lantern #42 CGC 9.2 Pacific Coast

I'm happy with both purchases. I've never actually owned a Green Lantern #1. That won't be my last copy, of course. I'm going to need a high grade copy to round out the run I've started working on, so there's be something a little more expensive in my future. Still I love #1s and keys so even a beater GL #1 is nice to have.
