Recently a good friend of mine traded and sold me an
impressive selection of Silver and Bronze Age comic books.
My friend stopped purchasing comic books going on five years
ago and what comic books he does have he has stored them away in his 'man cave'
and in a storage unit outside.
I called him up the other day wanting to trade some of my
recent comic books (I stopped buying them in June) for some of his older comic
books. I wanted something to read and
wasn't particularly interested in 'hot' titles as I was in something new to
read.
Packing up a short box of comic books I went to my friend's
house and after several hours of sorting through his comic books, I picked out
the equivalent amount of books and came home and enjoyed reading them over the
next several days
While at my friend's home I noticed his 'man cave' was in a
state of disarray.
I called him up, after I indulged my comic book reading
addiction, and offered to come over and clean up his room as my friend and his
wife have not been in the best of health recently.
While on the phone my friend told me he and his wife decided
to sell me as many comic books I wanted at an unbelievably low price.
Asking his why he would do such a thing he replied,
"I'd rather they would go to someone who will take care of the books and
besides I'm no longer interested in comic books and don't want to take the time
to sell them off.
Needless to say I was thrilled.
I went over to his house and came back with another batch of
books.
Here's a partial list of the books I traded or
purchased. The majority are Silver and
Bronze Age.
