New to comics- pickups

jstephens24 · 04-14-2018, 06:34 AM

Decided to make a thread of some comics that I pick up. I will be displaying these so I won’t be picking up a ton. Maybe a total of 10 with different main characters. My going to go pick up silver age with cool covers. The first 4 I used my eBay bucks on

Another nice pick up. The following is just my .02 pesos: Don't hold you books on the left side. I'm sure you're right hand dominant and it's easier to take a picture with your right hand while utilizing your left hand to hold the book. Switch it around so you are holding the right side, bottom, or top of the book and take pictures using you left hand. This will reduce the risk of giving your great books more spine ticks. It may not seem like much, but it will help the condition long term. Can't wait to see your next pick ups.

Thanks for the tip. This will be pretty much the only time these will be held. After I’m done taking the pic then I put them up in their frame

thank you. I like the silver age the best. I have an Ironman on the way with only 1 more spot remaining. I have a Batman one I want which I just got outbid a day or 2 ago. Looking for a nice raw copy
