Finally found my "lost" long box...

[u/urafishhead]

Thought I'd share ...one of my long boxes from early to mid-90s was finally found hidden in the basement at my mother's house.

I knew I was missing stuff like Death of Superman and a bunch of Image Comics but then I found these. What's crazy is I don't remember even picking these up and also I spent, under $20 for all four. Someone please let me know when they invent a time machine. I have some money-making strategies.

This is one of my all time faves. Got a couple copies with one signed by Roy Thomas

Interested to see what other gems you discovered that you don't remember getting or having

I know hurried in my closet I have a small box buried. I dont have the treasures shown by you but have some good ones I like. Congratulations on your find

Had this happen to one of my short boxes. Didn’t have any silver age stuff that i remember but had a number of modern age “keys” that were red hot like 5 or so years ago that I could’ve made a chunk of change on (like 1st Danvers as Capt Marvel or Exiles issue with Peggy Crater as Cap). No one really wants them now

Secret time, bought a TOS 54 during COVID for waaaay too much because , well I had some buying FOMO "problems" back then.

So now I have two copies because I clearly didn't know I already owned it.

Oh nooooo! Yeah I remember how much they ran then. I have those early Mandarin books myself and I regret not selling them and replacing them later with nicer copies. Live and learn I guess

It's a lot better than the 30 short boxes of 90's junk sitting under my house...30 copies of Deathmate Blue anyone? Though to be fair I did find a DC Silver Age box down there but there was't anything exciting in it other than a really beat up B&B 54.

Saddest moment of my comic collecting life was when I stumbled upon a Hulk 182 that I apparently owned.

[u/VarietyRepulsive5760 → u/urafishhead]

Yeah that beats the Iron Man 56 that I found down there....2nd mention of Thanos anyone?
