My Comic budget was $100, but instead I spent $500!!!

I went back to Acme comics in Peoria IL to pick up a few comics that I had left the last time I was there. As I was talking to the owner, we started talking about Jungle Comics and Romance. He got a box out of the vault that was probably 10 years since the last time it was opened. The books really weren't for sale, but he was kind enough to throw some prices out on a few that i was really interested in. I hope you all enjoy the hunting footage and enjoy me showing you what I got!

Very nice!😊

[@cclouse14]

That Diary Secrets book is awesome!

[@WhatIsOntheComicRack]

Nice field trip and awesome pickups! Those are some beautiful covers by Matt Baker!

[@DAN_SPL]

I couldnt see the price on Vampirella 2 but that is first appearance Draculina and Evily and had a recent sale raw of 650$. You might want to scoop that up!

[@AlextheComicHoarder]

Good call! There were a few in there that I knew were undervalued.

[@gnayr1305]

You definitely have a good eye for classic art. Nice picks.

[@AlextheComicHoarder]

Thanks so much. That’s a nice compliment.

Love those magazines. I'm lucky to own a Vampirella #1 CGC 8.5. I have issue #2 as well, ungraded. Btw, I was the one who had purchased most of your Vampirella/Creepy mags to add to my collection. Thanks again..such great books.

[@BUBSWORLD181]

Nice finds! I'm trying not to collect every great mag I see. There is so much quality art on them. Makes it tough. Stephen is awesome.

[@AlextheComicHoarder]

I agree on the mags. The art just made me want to pause on them for awhile. Very tempting.

[@jamesmoss3424]

That acme comics look great for me to check out. 😀👍

[@TT-fq7pl]

What's her "double life" in Diary Secrets? I'm sure it'll be pretty darned tame by today's standards.

[@sp1970ful]

What a shop! Some great pickups pieces of history truly. Thanks for sharing.

[@stonyonekenobi]

Why were you only allowed to show 2 of the 4 slabs?

[@AlextheComicHoarder]

It was a combination of the owner not wanting to sell and possibly me not wanting the competition on two of them. I have since sent an offer for one of the ones not shown.

[@berkfamily54]

Boom

[@leeniren3706]

Some beautiful books. I don’t understand. Why did you not just buy some actual backing boards to fit those two mill bags?

[@AlextheComicHoarder]

I’ve been trying to find the correct size, but golden age board are way too small for these golden age Mylar bags. I have to cut my own from magazine to get them to fit the way I really like.
