Its Sunday... and there's not much to do around here on a Sunday, seems as if everything closes up early or isn't even open at all. So one of my favorite things to do is head to the comic shop (3 Alarm Comics) Its like my sanctuary :)
Today I stumbled upon an Azrael # 1 (from '95) and it happens to be in mint condition, original Batman # 281 and # 283 they are not exactly mint but they aren't bad either. At a 9.4 condition they are worth about $25.00 a piece, which they are not at but they I'd like to say they are worth at least more than the $1.50 I paid for them. If I could grade them myself (if only) Id probably put them at a 7.0 which is Fine/Very Fine and it might be worth... say $11.00, still that's better what I bought them for. You have to understand mints and gems are really rare with old comics they pretty much could have been read once or twice and then put back in the plastic and then locked in a hazard proof safe for the last 20 years lol! Some day, Id love to get my comics graded its just such an extra added expense, but worth it when you have some goodies.
I also made the executive decision to start collecting the new Zatanna series. They just recently started in July of this year. Shes been featured in lots of JLA comics and a several of Batman's series as well, but I am glad that shes getting her own feature. The comic is written by my personal favorite writer Mr. Paul Dini, who also writes the Gotham City Siren Series. He is amazing and even though hes now going over to
And speaking of my beloved series (GCS) I finally picked up # 15 & 16 from my subscription box. Its been so crazy around here lately, I hadn't had the chance to go in a pick them up. Now I'm all caught up and am looking forward to next month for new issues!
