Forgot to mention it earlier, but I’m pretty excited about this recent Marvel Omnibus I snagged off eBay.
So, I’ve been working toward some Spider-Man and X-Men omnibuses over the last year or so, and some of them are...rare AND expensive. They aren’t all exactly easy to come by, and it’s even harder to get a deal.
The other day I stumbled upon an X-Men by Claremont and Lee Volume 2, brand new condition, signed by Claremont, with 5 mins remaining. I will withhold what I paid for it as to not make people uncomfortable, however you might take that.
The seconds ticked down, and I assumed that for such a product I would be soon out bid and utterly defeated with a devastating bid. Sure enough, I won it. Mind you, while I will not share what I paid, I will point out that this specific omnibus is quite rare, and I got it for just barely over HALF OF WHAT SOME FOLKS WERE ASKING.
I was, and still am, excited about the steal I got. A friend of mine, who is a hardcore Spider-Man collector (his collection is likely worth at least $100K) even complimented me on it.
Still feel like a beast.
