    Except for the Strange Suspense and Topix, none of those are golden age books.
    Couple dozen are silver age, which includes even some of my faves, like The Flash.
    Was the shoe box worth 50 bucks? Yep, but just barely, since most of them are in such bad shape.
    So I'd have to declare this deal a win-win, of sorts.

      Thank you so much for your wisdom @MrEdWeirdoShow. My knowledge of golden age and silver age are limited. I'm the "buy what you like kind of guy" and I usually end up overpaying 🙄. Thanks again!

    Nice finds. I think you found some great books. I would say you are right in the ball park with $50. I am glad you rescued those older comics, even if they were low grade. Now the magic starts. Like books attract other like books. More 15, 12 and 10 cent books are going to find their way to you.

    You got some great books there I think, a cool bargain for sure. That Journey Into Mystery isn't pre-code, you can see the comics code authority stamp in the top right corner, unless my eyes are deceiving me. Still a nice old book to pick up for a great price. That Aquaman 3 alone probably was worth $50 but I'm not sure. Either way I think you made out very well there

      @thegreyman Thanks man, you're right the Journey into mystery is not pre-code. Thank you for the correction. Sometimes I'm so excited about the books that I sometimes get tongue tied 😁 And the Aquaman 3 I just saw at a shop for $75 about the same condition as mine 👍
