June update

FIRST OFF: While updating the spreadsheet, I realized it was not accurate, as I neglected to add a donation, and even worse, I neglected to acknowledge a previous donation.

Back in December, Tomander graciously donated another share. This was recorded in the spreadsheet, but I never mentioned it here on the blog. I am extremely sorry for this.

In April, Ford joined our group and donated a share. I noted it on the blog, but his share was never added to the spreadsheet. This has been fixed.

NEXT: New purchases!

A few weeks ago I bought some books that will probably elicit a groan from a bunch of you :) I bought 9 Timely-era Western Romance books, one of which was bought for a rescan. I know, I know... but they were fairly cheap, they hardly ever come up for sale, and they've got to be done eventually. But, yeah, I know. Western Romances. :sigh:

I also bought another elusive book. It's elusive in the sense that it's never cheap, and I won it for about half of what copies are selling for on Ebay right now. I bought Marvel Mystery Comics 92. It's the last book in the series, and is also the first appearance of The Witness, which some of you know is one of my current favorites. I got it for $304. To put it in perspective, the cheapest copy on ebay right now is $820 for a CGCed 2.5 grade. I think after I scan this I'm going to submit it for a grade. I expect it will get around a 1.5, maybe a 2, and I'm hoping to sell it for around $500.

We didn't actually have enough in the kitty for this purchase, so I kicked in the balance. It ended up being a simple split; the group paid 2/3, I put in the last 1/3. When we sell it, I'll just split the money the same way.

Congrats on the new purchases! I thought we'd have to end up paying a bundle for those western romances books someday! Thanks!

So awesome! Thanks Pmack.

Should I check for you on DC++ to get the raws for 3D Action? Or are they available here for dl?

Let me know. I'm looking forward to working on them!
