Getting nowhere with Ghost Rider #80 in the UK to complete the title so went direct to the US for this set of #'s 78-81 for $25 + $20 postage in nice condition (3 x VFN/NM & #81 a FN+). I will keep #'s 79 & 80 & put the other 2 up for sale on ebay, that should recoup some £'s ;

Won 2 Pre Hero Marvels on Friday night & the 3rd one tonight (#18) with the same seller. They look to be around VG- grades with #18 maybe the best one (VG/+ ?). Only really Pre Hero Marvels (1958-62) & ECs where i'm happy buying at this grade (solid but not great looking etc) ;

Wtaf. So I go to bed at 4 am (after the World famous Saturday night comic drop of @mediummic) & wake up at 9:45 am to find FOUR ebay sales have happened whilst i'm fast asleep. All different buyers too. VG & below where it's at. Very odd 😮 I knew the DS #169 "Fair+" would go;

Here is the UK Marvel Lot I got pushed on yesterday. 1973/74 era Spiderman Comics Weekly. Hidden in there is #44 a glorious repro of Amazing Spidey #50. The Claws/Cat issue (#24 ?) I remember walking to the shop to buy in Summer 1973, floating on air looking at the Ditko cover ;

Here's the nice Conan Lot from this morning's wins. Only the #'1's of both titles tend to be easy to find. Even has the gawd damn Boris poster included, very rare ; @mediummic @DallanB @FrankiePaul64

Won 6 Lots of UK Weeklies this morning. Here was the best value one, Avengers #'s 1-53 for the cost of a high grade #1. Once I have cross referenced with my PC needs some might be on their way over to the US soon ;

I thought the 2 period covers would be a highlight of the "new" BOC record. Just like that enchanted night in Newcastle in May 1978 they nail this one. Bloom's voice in his heyday 😍; youtu.be/DMJvF4pacC8?si…

Six Bronze Age Marvel wins this evening. Here are the 4 Giants. Only got pushed on the GS Superheroes #1 but it looks a lovely copy & in my experience this grade is scarce for this # Spidey GS #6 (£4.20) & Subby #43 (£2.20) were shockingly low wins (& with a top UK seller too) ;

A few weekend US wins (I have won UK Spider-man Comics Weekly #'s 73-152 today too in 3 Lots 🤓). Where Monsters Dwell #6 wasn't easy at the NY Warehouses in the mid 1990s unlike the rest of #'s 2-9 so a 2nd copy in the PC at last. + a nice looking Avengers #118 UK Variant ;

A fun set of 2nd Generation UK Weekly #1's is up for grabs. Free transfers in the Avengers #1 & then posters in the others (I think). With a reprint of Cap's return (US #4) in the #1 of the Britain's Avengers it felt like a proper event back in 1973, + Dr Strange's origin too;

Some useful late Silver Age wins in the last hour over here. Best grades look to be around VFN- down to FN/VFN. Winning bids were good value if those grades do materialise on arrival. Getting close to a Deadman run barring the first couple now ;

So a Lot of Fantastic comics #'s 1 - 33 is closing in hours. You don't see a run of the early issues very often but almost £700 isn't cheap for these late 1960's Power Comics. If the condition is right (& staple rust is usually a factor for these) then maybe it's a good buy ;

A little evening quiz for the Marvellites out there. What makes these four covers unique or out of the ordinary ?

Painted by BOC fan Greg Scott as his representation of what an actual "Blue Oyster Cult" might look like. I have to say for years after 1981 I didn't know that's who the hooded figures were or even that they were holding blue oysters. Seems so obvious now .... Doh😬
