New Acquisitions Arrive, More on the Way
Sean Welch, Vault Manager
The customized vintage G.I. Joe as The Falcon arrived yesterday and its primitive customization does not in any way detract from its charm, kudos to the unknown creator. Adventure 428, the first appearance of The Black Orchid, arrived as well and the issue's condition is slightly better than advertised. I appreciated the conservative grading of many comic book sellers because very fine or better copies are uncommon and average condition copies need not be exaggerated to be sell-able or collectible. Giant-Sized Captain America #1 arrived exactly as graded. The cover is in only good condition but the pages are complete and readable.
The Alien cards and original display box, as well as all the Buck Rogers cards we bid for on Ebay were all won. This was a very good auction run for the MCBR and the whole faculty is very pleased. In the past we have not always had the consistency in winning on low bids. This streak allowed us to have both quantity and quality of goods.
