Back around year 1991 or 92, I sold 9 perfect cherry picked copies of Amazing Spider-Man 300 for 12 dollars each to a local comic book dealer. In year 1989, I sold 7 near mint plus unread copies of X-Men 56 for 30 dollars each to a local veterinarian that collected comic books. Back in year 2007, I sold about 20 perfect cherry picked copies of Uncanny X-Men 141 for 10 dollars each to another comic book dealer. What was I thinking.....
I regret buying so many hologram/foil/diecut/chrome variants in the 90's instead of buying more silver stuff. Passed on so many things that were 40-50 bucks that are practically out of reach now
I feel sick every time I think about this. Back in the early '80s a friend of a friend came to my house. He had to sell his comics to cover an operation he needed and knew I collected comics. I was only a couple of years married, had 2 young uns, had just bought a house and was only making 21k/yr., so I had to pass up on...an AF 15 and get this - not one, but TWO Action #1s....for under $1000 for ALL THREE!!! Ouch, ouch, ouch, ouch........
I live in a suburb of Kansas City, Missouri. Back around 1982 my mother took me to Clint's Comics on Main Street in Kansas City. The clerk behind the counter showed me 3 copies of Amazing Spider-Man #1 in high grade condition that the store had for sale for 75 dollars each. Unfortunately, my mother couldn't afford to buy me a copy. I will never forget that day.
I heard about what happened to him Sad. Im in St Louis and I keep telling myself one of these days i'll road-trip to KC and check out the shops there. I was going to do it last year over my vacation but Rona` hit so.. caboshed that one. Is anything still good enough over there to warrant a cross-state trip?
Whenever I'm 50/50 on whether or not to buy something that's on my hit list, I always shift to 51% and buy it. Even if I lose money later, it's always felt like the right decision.
Sellers remorse - my mom was friends with a huge comic collector in the late 70s. This guy was a huge influence and inspired me to start collecting those funny books in the mid 80s. We moved around to several cities as well as a couple states when I was a kid. Eventually moving back home to California, my mom relocated her comic collecting friend and by this time (1987) he owned a comic shop in San Dimas. He sold me a beautiful copy of Hulk #181 for $20. Fast forward to 1989 and my mom being a single parent had hit a rough patch financially and asked of I could help her out by selling some of my books. I sold a few key books along with my copy of Hulk #181 to a comic shop owner for $50. He gave me the spiel that he needed to make a profit off of it as well and gave me about half of the value. Knowing I needed to help my mom and put food on the table I sold 181 with the intentions of buying another copy in the future. Hulk 181 as well as GSX #1 were quite common in the 80s and affordable. With the comic crash in the early 90s, I jumped ship and left the hobby for over 20 years. When I got back into the hobby, I was unable to afford another Hulk 181. I wish I had a DeLorean time machine. I'd go back in time and stop my younger self from selling that 181.
A few years ago there was a CGC Green Lantern #87( first John Stewart) double cover!!! For sale around $780. Don’t remember the grade but I remember it was around a 7.5 to 8.0. I didn’t pull the trigger but I still think about it to this day. Sometimes I think I’m crazy and that i saw wrong but I know what I saw! 😂
Duuude, in 2018 I could’ve bought a hulk 181 in a 9.4 for $1750 but passed, Dec 2019 had an opportunity to buy a hulk 181 8.5@ $4200, passed cause I thought price might track back a bit. No more! If I see it and have the cash and it has likely staying power I just BUY IT! As a result I got 2 NYX3s in 9.8 for $1100 each in January and now they’re over $2k I got 2 secret wars 8s in 9.8 back in the day for $250/$275 now at $700-$900, ain’t never-“DONT PASS IF YOU HAVE THE CASH”
I’ve never had a FOMO, I’ve only ever bought what interested me, and what I wanted to read. Then it gets bagged and boarded. With that mindset I don’t regret passing on WD#1, or some of the others discussed here. But, I never forgot that time as a kid, we were moving and my mom tossed my collection as ‘not worth taking with us’. As an adult many years later, I bought the one gem I clearly remembered getting tossed: ASM 121. There may have been other gems contemporary with ASM 121 that also got tossed that I don’t remember, but back in the day for a major character to die, that was a memorable book. Glad I replaced it and probably with a better copy than the one I had as a kid😊
Great show!! My regret story goes all the way back to 1984! VF Amazing Fantasy #15 at the very first KC Comicon! $1100! I had a few hundred bucks budget for the show and my mom was willing to lend me the rest and my 11 year old self thought “I’ll only get one comic book and be done then have to pay back my mom”. I’d go back in time and smack myself! 😂
I was at my LCS looking through back issue maybe 11 years ago. A guy walked in, went straight to the counter. He asked how much could he get for this comic that was in a folder. They offered $1k, the guy took it and left. I went to check out and they ask if I wanted to buy this book in the folder for the same price. It was a beat-up AF15. Maybe .5-1.0. I was like I’m good, it’s too beat up haha. I will NEVER forget that. Yeah the money part sucks, but probably will never be able to own that book at this point 🥺
Back around 2014, I had two copies in solid condition of New Mutants 98 that I sold online because I really needed the money at the time. Still burns me I parted ways with them....
That has been the main reasons I sold a number of, now out of hand valuable keys. Let's see: ASM 361 1st Carnage NYX 3 1st X-23 Spawn 1 Black and White Retailer Incentive variant Ultimate Fallout 4 First Miles Morales
I first collected comics in 1973-74 time frame when I was 11-12 and over the next few years built up quite a collection including a ToS 39 and a AF15. I had long runs of many of the marvel key titles too. When I hit 17 I wanted a car and sold the entire collection for a few hundred dollars. I got my car, but I kick myself for selling that first collection now.
I bought a 3rd Print TMNT #1 for around $20 because first print was around $200 at the time . Oops. Then again the black and white comic phase was hot and then crashed. Trollords and Elflord were also hot at the time. Also have like 10 copies of each Deathmate and Turok 1. Comic book publishers should be forced to tell you print run quantities.
Great modern sellers regret, Was able to buy 10 copies of Venom #3 (cates) first prints. All hand picked by me at least 9.4's and up. Sold all but one copy for $15 a piece a week later....
When Something Is Killing The Children first came out my LCS had a good stack of issue 1 on the rack. The cover alone told me I should grab a handful. Only grabbed two and been regretting not getting more.
I’m a fairly new collector (8 years). When I first started collecting I stumbled upon the term 1st appearance. So I went looking for first appearances and came across a new character to me, X-23. It’s 2015 I was a student and broke, I wanted to buy NYX 3 but didn’t want to drop £80/$100 on a CGC 9.8. Yep, totally regret not pulling that trigger! 😢😢
The Comic shop you are referring to is JAKS in Biloxi . The tmnt you are talking about in this video was a third print. Doesn’t hurt as bad as the first print but still ouch :( btw Sonny at Jaks still has the book :)
If you buy what you like there's never any regret. The only thing I ever regret is having those opportunities to buy something I liked and wanted but held back and it gets bought.
Adding to my comment, what really made me realize I messed up (as I wasn't following TWD even after the fact) was when a co-worker of mine's son was cast in a speaking part in a major plot point/flashback episode as both a human an one of the sole walkers in the episode. (and brutally slaughtered too) Then I started paying attention and realized just how big the show and books had gotten. On a side note, nothing elevates your appreciation of Hollywood makeup & practical FX professionals than when you see them transform someone you know into a walker. :)
I wish I would have gotten my grail books sooner. I snagged a Werewolf By Night 32 a few years ago. I still really want an ASM 129. Those 2 books are really the big ones for me due to being the first appearances of 2 of my all time favorite characters.
I have missed picking up so many keys I've wanted for the same reasons. I suffer from acute regret. It is a tangible, physical response to the news of the day. Hugs all around. :)
I could have gotten a raw giant size xmen for 600 last summer. I had money left over from the first stimulus. Why didn’t I buy it? I may never have such a Chance again
Daredevil knights issue 10… first cover app of echo etc. found five of em in a dollar bin and only picked up a newsstand of issue 9. Sold issue 9 NEWSSTAND for like $20 when it was really worth 100ish and passed up of 5 copies of $$$
I wish I bought Giant Size X-Men #1 & Incredible Hulk #181 15 years ago when they were more affordable. I saw a nice copv of Hulk #181 9 years ago for under $600 at my lcs and I WISH I grabbed it! I honestly wish I focused more on grails and big keys when I was younger and the comics were cheaper.
Hey this is for Comic Tom. is a graded 9.8 signed by James Tynion IV foil cover issue number 1 for Local Comic Book Day of Something is Killing the Children. Worth 300 bucks ? because I am considering buying
What a great show you guys thank you I passed on two detective 27s and an action number one in find very fine however I do have 20 boxes of unrestored gold going back to 1937
Had an entry level GS X-Men #1 3.5 signed by Stan Lee (bought the book raw for a couple hundred on eBay and I had it signed, witnessed and sent off to CGC at a con) sold it a few years ago for $350 when I needed a little cash. Regret it every day!
I've been trying really hard to score an ASM #1. Probably participated in more than seven auctions and it was always I was underbidding or it just shoots up way pass the budget. Eventually got tired and settled for a coverless copy that was floating around under the radar but always annoyed at the feeling that CGC doesn't give 0.5 grades anymore. This was gonna be a NG (no grade). Two weeks later found another decent copy that's complete and finally won it. So now I have two. I am thinking of gifting the coverless one to my dad, but right now it feels like a lot of wasted money and jumping the gun too early.
I am a on again / off again collector. So when I came back in 2010, I could have purchased two copies of AF 15 at about $5k each. I believe the grade was a 4.0 or 5.0. Didn’t do it.☹️😟😭
I had house of secrets # 92. Autographed by Bernie. X-Men # 94 The *Flash # 123 and Giant size X-Men 1.. all raw copies. 10 years ago. Got 600.00 cash for all comics. Probably CGC 6.0 on each comic. I think I paid 190.00 for the books at one time .
I collected X-men back in the day and bought doubles of EVERYTHING! I had at one point, 4 copies of uncanny X-men 266. 2 were never even opened. They are somewhere in the crawlspaces of my parents house. But unfortunately, some idiot plastered over the doors and they won't let me cut a hole in the wall. I havea long box full of things like ASM 300, venom #1, tons of X-men, Superman and Batman. All 80s and 90s, all new stand not one of them has ever even had the cover open 😔. The main point of my story is about 10 years ago. I was cleaning out the box I have and I had two copies of uncanny X-Men 266 that I gave to my cousin who is obsessed with gambit.
For me was Ghost Rider ( golden age western) for $5 in a flea market. I didn't buy it because at that time I didn't know about the comic or the character. After I saw the movie I knew about what a missed.
I had a short box of all key books like 4 copies of new mutants#98 one cgc 9.8,3 copies of x-men#266,detective comics#359,batman adventures#12 and alot more keys and sold them all for $3k and i could have gotten at least 10k for all those keys now but at the time i needed the money and now i am trying to collect all those booms again but they are so expensive.
I remember The Walking Dead CGC 9.8(or was it a 10?) sold for $10,000 on Ebay(?) and thinking....could that have been a PR ploy for the TV-Series? Such a new book and going for 10grand. Does anyone remember that sale, the $10,000 sale?
In middle school I got a lot of money for my bday and so I was at the mall with my dad where we saw a guy set up with a bunch of comics. One of these was an Avengers #8 and that was a book I had wanted for a bit now. It was graded at a cgc 8.0 and he was selling it for around 500, I was excited cause I had enough. My dad talked me out of it and said that we could probably find a cheaper copy. I fear I may never get that book at that condition at this point
I live in a small town and went to my LCS one day and saw 3-5 different comics that I remember seeing at my LCS and I thought I'll get it later and see if can get the next time but they were gone and they were spawn #1 spiderman 361 secret wars #8 and the venom #1
I walked into Toys r Us and saw a wall of black card LJN wrestling figures.. those are easily worth 5,000 each.. not comics but that's all I got I'm a newbie to comics LoL
You can heal from buyers regret by avoiding every book on the top 10 “hot & overpriced this week, dumpster next week” books. Every week, avoid all those books.
Okay let me start this off by saying I bought 50 copies first print Breakfast Club variant of strange Academy sent them all into cgc they all came back at 9.8 still with me so far here comes the seller's regret so the day I put them on there I actually was one of the first people to put them on eBay for $350 each one!!!! person actually bought 10 of them for me for $150 a piece by the end of the week they were selling for over $900 each by next week it was more 😂🤣😂😅😢😭😭😭 now here's the part that took me to man up it took me two weeks to ship all my packages by then the prices were sky-high and I still had to ship them at the price they sold for knowing how much money I was losing
Sellers regret? You mean like when I bought an Albedo #2 new and sold it for $100 a year or two later when it became hot? Or how about the Marvel Spotlight 5-10 I bought from an original owner for $150 and then sold to my brother for $150 so I could buy a (wait for it) …Superman’s Pal Jimmy Olsen #6 in vg/f. My brother held the #5 a few years and then slabbed it when CGC first came out in the early 2000’s…he got a 9.8 on it and sold it for $900! Boy he thought he scored 🤣
I got a regular negan lives just to read was about to buy all variants a couple each decided nah the series is dead, just went to a comic shop on vacation they are selling the for 100 each I turned around and walked out mad lol always go with your gut instinct
I remember selling my “ok” comic collection so cheaply in ‘82…. Needed some cash to take a girl out on a date!! What a complete fool! I had a great X- Men run, nearly all the Frank Miller Daredevil run, and tons of great books that are worth hundreds and hundreds of dollars now!

Back around year 1991 or 92, I sold 9 perfect cherry picked copies of Amazing Spider-Man 300 for 12 dollars each to a local comic book dealer. In year 1989, I sold 7 near mint plus unread copies of X-Men 56 for 30 dollars each to a local veterinarian that collected comic books. Back in year 2007, I sold about 20 perfect cherry picked copies of Uncanny X-Men 141 for 10 dollars each to another comic book dealer. What was I thinking.....
I regret buying so many hologram/foil/diecut/chrome variants in the 90's instead of buying more silver stuff. Passed on so many things that were 40-50 bucks that are practically out of reach now
marvel, few DC hologram/foil/diecut/chrome 90's i grew up on! i love em too ya forgot embossed covers they are awesome!
Yep, those too lol
I feel sick every time I think about this. Back in the early '80s a friend of a friend came to my house. He had to sell his comics to cover an operation he needed and knew I collected comics. I was only a couple of years married, had 2 young uns, had just bought a house and was only making 21k/yr., so I had to pass up on...an AF 15 and get this - not one, but TWO Action #1s....for under $1000 for ALL THREE!!! Ouch, ouch, ouch, ouch........
I live in a suburb of Kansas City, Missouri. Back around 1982 my mother took me to Clint's Comics on Main Street in Kansas City. The clerk behind the counter showed me 3 copies of Amazing Spider-Man #1 in high grade condition that the store had for sale for 75 dollars each. Unfortunately, my mother couldn't afford to buy me a copy. I will never forget that day.
RIP Clint. He was a great guy.
I heard about what happened to him Sad. Im in St Louis and I keep telling myself one of these days i'll road-trip to KC and check out the shops there. I was going to do it last year over my vacation but Rona` hit so.. caboshed that one. Is anything still good enough over there to warrant a cross-state trip?
when he said 23 copied of hulk 181 ..I paused the video and was like daaaaaaaaam. I needed a moment
Whenever I'm 50/50 on whether or not to buy something that's on my hit list, I always shift to 51% and buy it. Even if I lose money later, it's always felt like the right decision.
Sellers remorse - my mom was friends with a huge comic collector in the late 70s. This guy was a huge influence and inspired me to start collecting those funny books in the mid 80s. We moved around to several cities as well as a couple states when I was a kid. Eventually moving back home to California, my mom relocated her comic collecting friend and by this time (1987) he owned a comic shop in San Dimas. He sold me a beautiful copy of Hulk #181 for $20.

This breaks my heart to read.
I feel for you
A few years ago there was a CGC Green Lantern #87( first John Stewart) double cover!!! For sale around $780. Don’t remember the grade but I remember it was around a 7.5 to 8.0. I didn’t pull the trigger but I still think about it to this day. Sometimes I think I’m crazy and that i saw wrong but I know what I saw! 😂

I’ve never had a FOMO, I’ve only ever bought what interested me, and what I wanted to read. Then it gets bagged and boarded.
With that mindset I don’t regret passing on WD#1, or some of the others discussed here.
But, I never forgot that time as a kid, we were moving and my mom tossed my collection as ‘not worth taking with us’. As an adult many years later, I bought the one gem I clearly remembered getting tossed: ASM 121. There may have been other gems contemporary with ASM 121 that also got tossed that I don’t remember, but back in the day for a major character to die, that was a memorable book. Glad I replaced it and probably with a better copy than the one I had as a kid😊
I've got loads. Mainly venom related. Asm 300 nm for $120 for example. I've also had some major come ups. $3 for a wizard world young avengers
My takeaway is that if I want to finish my raw run of Jim Lee X books, then I gotta cough up the 30USD for X-Men #4
Great show!! My regret story goes all the way back to 1984! VF Amazing Fantasy #15 at the very first KC Comicon! $1100!

The Comic shop you are referring to is JAKS in Biloxi . The tmnt you are talking about in this video was a third print. Doesn’t hurt as bad as the first print but still ouch :( btw Sonny at Jaks still has the book :)
If you buy what you like there's never any regret. The only thing I ever regret is having those opportunities to buy something I liked and wanted but held back and it gets bought.
Heh.. I did the same thing with WD #1... Almost grabbed it because its more in line with my wife's tastes but still put it back.. derp.
Adding to my comment, what really made me realize I messed up (as I wasn't following TWD even after the fact) was when a co-worker of mine's son was cast in a speaking part in a major plot point/flashback episode as both a human an one of the sole walkers in the episode.

I havent sold any books yet! Still happy to only buy books I realllly want. Buying is easy, selling something is much more difficult.
I have missed picking up so many keys I've wanted for the same reasons. I suffer from acute regret. It is a tangible, physical response to the news of the day.
Hugs all around. :)
I could have gotten a raw giant size xmen for 600 last summer. I had money left over from the first stimulus. Why didn’t I buy it? I may never have such a Chance again
Like #6 I’ve regretting leaving so many books behind,
Daredevil knights issue 10… first cover app of echo etc. found five of em in a dollar bin and only picked up a newsstand of issue 9. Sold issue 9 NEWSSTAND for like $20 when it was really worth 100ish and passed up of 5 copies of $$$
I fully believe seller's remorse is much, much worse than buyer's remorse!!
GOOD SHOW TY FOR THE GREAT INFO !!!!!!!
I wish I bought Giant Size X-Men #1 & Incredible Hulk #181 15 years ago when they were more affordable. I saw a nice copv of Hulk #181 9 years ago for under $600 at my lcs and I WISH I grabbed it! I honestly wish I focused more on grails and big keys when I was younger and the comics were cheaper.
My grandfather picked up a stak of ff #1's and asked the vendor who the hell is going to want this haha
Hey this is for Comic Tom. is a graded 9.8 signed by James Tynion IV foil cover issue number 1 for Local Comic Book Day of Something is Killing the Children. Worth 300 bucks ? because I am considering buying
What a great show you guys thank you I passed on two detective 27s and an action number one in find very fine however I do have 20 boxes of unrestored gold going back to 1937
Had an entry level GS X-Men #1 3.5 signed by Stan Lee (bought the book raw for a couple hundred on eBay and I had it signed, witnessed and sent off to CGC at a con) sold it a few years ago for $350 when I needed a little cash. Regret it every day!
I've been trying really hard to score an ASM #1. Probably participated in more than seven auctions and it was always I was underbidding or it just shoots up way pass the budget. Eventually got tired and settled for a coverless copy that was floating around under the radar but always annoyed at the feeling that CGC doesn't give 0.5 grades anymore.

I am thinking of gifting the coverless one to my dad, but right now it feels like a lot of wasted money and jumping the gun too early.
I am a on again / off again collector. So when I came back in 2010, I could have purchased two copies of AF 15 at about $5k each. I believe the grade was a 4.0 or 5.0. Didn’t do it.☹️😟😭
I had house of secrets # 92. Autographed by Bernie. X-Men # 94 The *Flash # 123 and Giant size X-Men 1.. all raw copies. 10 years ago. Got 600.00 cash for all comics. Probably CGC 6.0 on each comic. I think I paid 190.00 for the books at one time .
I collected X-men back in the day and bought doubles of EVERYTHING! I had at one point, 4 copies of uncanny X-men 266. 2 were never even opened. They are somewhere in the crawlspaces of my parents house. But unfortunately, some idiot plastered over the doors and they won't let me cut a hole in the wall.

The main point of my story is about 10 years ago. I was cleaning out the box I have and I had two copies of uncanny X-Men 266 that I gave to my cousin who is obsessed with gambit.
Fight the good FOMO fight 101ers!
For me was Ghost Rider ( golden age western) for $5 in a flea market. I didn't buy it because at that time I didn't know about the comic or the character. After I saw the movie I knew about what a missed.
I had a short box of all key books like 4 copies of new mutants#98 one cgc 9.8,3 copies of x-men#266,detective comics#359,batman adventures#12 and alot more keys and sold them all for $3k and i could have gotten at least 10k for all those keys now but at the time i needed the money and now i am trying to collect all those booms again but they are so expensive.
This is a silly regret but I didn’t buy Giant sized X-Men off the rack because they weren’t “ my X-Men”
😂🤣 elf lord hahaha amazing
I remember The Walking Dead CGC 9.8(or was it a 10?) sold for $10,000 on Ebay(?) and thinking....could that have been a PR ploy for the TV-Series? Such a new book and going for 10grand.
Does anyone remember that sale, the $10,000 sale?
In middle school I got a lot of money for my bday and so I was at the mall with my dad where we saw a guy set up with a bunch of comics. One of these was an Avengers #8 and that was a book I had wanted for a bit now. It was graded at a cgc 8.0 and he was selling it for around 500, I was excited cause I had enough. My dad talked me out of it and said that we could probably find a cheaper copy. I fear I may never get that book at that condition at this point
Stan Leibowitz and Jack Kirby signed hulk book for $700 I didn't get it because it wasn't cgc and I didn't want to spend that much
I live in a small town and went to my LCS one day and saw 3-5 different comics that I remember seeing at my LCS and I thought I'll get it later and see if can get the next time but they were gone and they were spawn #1 spiderman 361 secret wars #8 and the venom #1
You remind me of my bro Puerto Ricoooooooo!
Saw a Hulk 181 at a con about 5 years ago. CGC 8.5 for $2,000.
I’m suddenly feeling better about myself….
I walked into Toys r Us and saw a wall of black card LJN wrestling figures.. those are easily worth 5,000 each.. not comics but that's all I got I'm a newbie to comics LoL
You can heal from buyers regret by avoiding every book on the top 10 “hot & overpriced this week, dumpster next week” books. Every week, avoid all those books.
Time does not heal 😥, all buyers regret.
Okay let me start this off by saying I bought 50 copies first print Breakfast Club variant of strange Academy sent them all into cgc they all came back at 9.8 still with me so far here comes the seller's regret so the day I put them on there I actually was one of the first people to put them on eBay for $350 each one!!!! person actually bought 10 of them for me for $150 a piece by the end of the week they were selling for over $900 each by next week it was more 😂🤣😂😅😢😭😭😭 now here's the part that took me to man up it took me two weeks to ship all my packages by then the prices were sky-high and I still had to ship them at the price they sold for knowing how much money I was losing
Sellers regret? You mean like when I bought an Albedo #2 new and sold it for $100 a year or two later when it became hot? Or how about the Marvel Spotlight 5-10 I bought from an original owner for $150 and then sold to my brother for $150 so I could buy a (wait for it) …Superman’s Pal Jimmy Olsen #6 in vg/f. My brother held the #5 a few years and then slabbed it when CGC first came out in the early 2000’s…he got a 9.8 on it and sold it for $900! Boy he thought he scored 🤣
That was fun
Secret Wars #8 at a 10😮😮😮🤣
I passed up goon #1 several times at the same spot they had it for like 2 bucks and when I finally went for it … yup … gone … don’t judge me
I only regret not buying more lol
I got a regular negan lives just to read was about to buy all variants a couple each decided nah the series is dead, just went to a comic shop on vacation they are selling the for 100 each I turned around and walked out mad lol always go with your gut instinct
Hb seller's regret
I have about 5% of my portfolio in uranium bitcoin any advice on any other crypto currency that I can grow my $300k capital to a million dollars?
Investing in crypto now should be in every wise individuals list, in some months time you'll be ecstatic with the decision you made today
Most intelligent words I've heard
Crypto is the new gold
I wanted to trade Crypto but got discouraged by the fluctuations in price
@@brookelufkin4494 That won't bother you if you trade with a professional like Mr Gilbert Richard
ESO es boriqua
Golden Age is now cheap. When you compare it to Silver Age.
I remember selling my “ok” comic collection so cheaply in ‘82…. Needed some cash to take a girl out on a date!! What a complete fool! I had a great X- Men run, nearly all the Frank Miller Daredevil run, and tons of great books that are worth hundreds and hundreds of dollars now!
