Big score........

[Rollo Tomassi]

Wolverine: Wendigo! oneshot. Which leaves me with 3 Wolverine oneshots to find before I have them all. One being a ridiculously difficult 'Canada only' book.
Dark Wolverine 83 and 86. Only need two issues to finish Douchebag's "first" ongoing (that he stole from his father).
Pint Size X-Babies Murderama! oneshot.

[Diabolical]

Punisher 14. FrankenCastle bullshit. only need issue 20 to be done with ALL Punisher books ever.

Does that include all guest appearances, or is it just Punisher titles?

And you may have mentioned this before, but do you actually have ASM 129?

[Rollo Tomassi]

Just actual Punisher series, minis, and oneshots. Technically I also need the Kingdom Come OGN.
As far as books featuring Frank that don't actually have 'Punisher' in the title, I still need some Marvel Knights issues, some DoubleShots, the Astonishing Tales mini from 2008, and a few issues of 'Nam. And probably a few other books I'm forgetting (Cutting Edge maybe?). I'm always finding new books featuring him. But to the best of my knowledge I have everything. Oh and the 2099 series is incomplete, but that's Jake Gallows, not Frank, so I can let that slide.
And his early 'guest star' appearances including ASM 129 I'm not even gonna begin to hunt for on my budget. Although I do have the Lion'sGate reprint.

[jjreason]

Nice! To me that's the huge draw of that place - they pretty much have everything all the time, and if you wait long enough it will get cheap.

[Rollo Tomassi]

As you know, I skipped both Events this summer. Well, I just scored a majority of the Flashpoint Event for $25 on eBay. The main series, all the oneshots, every first issue, most of the second issues, and a handful of the third issues. Near as I can tell, there was 60+ issues of the Event and I just got 2/3rds of them.

[jjreason]

Perfect.

[Rollo Tomassi]

We'll call this a Medium Score. Or in my case, Smallish. I got 50 books for $20 at a dealer show. Could've gone for way more, but I'm on my Christmas budget. Here's what I got.

The Art of J. Scott Campbell: GIJoe. Collects all his DDP and TPB art in a book from IDW.
Green Lantern 173, 174. Only about 25 issues away from a full run of the 1990-2005 series.
Iron Age 3. Finished that mini series.
Silver Surfer: Loftier than Mortals 1,2
SS: Inner Demons oneshot
Stan Lee meets Spidey (which I realized after I got home I already had)
Spider-Man Family 9. Only need 2 more of these Jumbo issues for full run.
Spectacular Spider-Man 19. Finished vol 2!! Full Run!
A couple Superman issues.
Thor:Blood Oath. The complete 6 issue series except issue 3.
Transformers: Complete Art of Trevor Hutchison. Hutchison did the great "Propoganda" style covers for All Hail Megatron. This collects all 16 covers including the final 4 which were HTF RI covers. Both this and the GIJoe book above seemed like freebies from a con. There was no cover price and both are smaller page count than normal comics.
Transformers:AHM 15 with the aforementioned RI cover.
Venom 9-18. The second half of Venom's short ongoing from 2004.
Venom: License to Kill 2
Warlock/infinity Watch 36 and 37. Finished that series finally!! Only took 16 years.
Couple issues of What If?
10 issues of Wolverine's first series. Only need about a dozen more for a full run.
Wolverine 17, 18 from his second run. And aside from the OldManLogan (which i skipped because Mark Millar is an ass) arc and a couple issues of the Dark Wolverine part, I only need issue 15 to be done with that one.
Wolverine:Logan 1.
Wolverine 1. White "Blank" cover of the new Aaron ongoing.
X-23: Target X 4, 5. From the HTF sequel mini.

[jjreason]

I would love to hit one of those shows. Great deals.

[Rollo Tomassi]

Yeah, sadly I left a TON of stuff there. I couldve easily filled up a long box for $110 (which I usually do). The guy that does the shows and has the most tables/long boxes had just bought a serious amount of overstock from an online store that doesn't bother with any books over a year old. Sometimes I cringe because part of me thinks "Damn, I could've waited and bought every issue of New Avengers for the past five years for 20 cents each."
Anyway, they're headed up to Minnesota tomorrow. That's close enough to Canada for you to swing by, right?

[Rollo Tomassi]

300 issues $110. And another 16 at 50 cents each.

[jjreason]

Nice! You're going to be buried soon though - can you actually open the door for more than .2 seconds into your comic room without an avalanche???

[RoIIo Tomassi]

It's a losing battle trying to keep them alphabetized. I have
1. New comics
2. Old comics I need to read
3. Old comics I've read.

And they're all getting shuffled around constantly. Then I'll pull out a stack of issues with the intent to read it and then get sidetracked and it gets put in a random pile. And I'm always running out of boxes.

[RoIIo Tomassi]

Two FCBD scores! First place I went was selling a short box full o' books for $25. I filled it with 150 or so books. Then I realized not all short boxes are the same size, and shuffled my books into a slightly longer short box and came away with 163.
The second shop I went to was selling 3 for $1, so I dropped another $15 on 45 more books.
