Going through the comics at every visit to our local flea market REALLY paid off!!  Yes, I only paid $1.25 for this comic.  Mint condition but for the VERY interesting signature on the bottom... :D  I still can't believe I found this.  I also picked up the #2 in that series with Boba on the cover.  I think whoever had this signed in the first place did so because it was the first one of the series, at least that's what I can figure.  You guys should have seen my face when I first saw this! LOL

i was about to say, what's so special about this? $1.25 for issue 1 of shadows sounds about right.  then i scrolled down...  wow, nice find.  you should see if you can get that signature authenticated.

That looks exactly like Jeremy's signature. Nice find!

I'm not sure how I could go about getting it authenticated, but I do have one of his autographs to me my mother got for me when she saw him in person at a convention.  It does look just like the other one, and even in the same silver marker/pen color.

Oh yeah!  There's LOTS of good stuff at flea markets!  I know right now at our local flea market, there are two Darth Vader figure cases, a Darth Vader electronic bank as well Obi-Wan and Qui-Gon banks.  They also have a row of SW comics, and a nice used book section where I get most of my SW books (though there aren't as many SW books right now--the guy that brings them in hasn't been back for a little while).  I'm eyeing a SW collector/value book right now too, if it's still there next time I'm in.

Wow! What luck! That comic book is certainly worth a lot more than $1.25.

I stared at it a moment when I first came across it.  It took almost everything in my power to keep from jumping up and down, and I had to explain to my husband just why I was excited about it--he just rolled his eyes. :P

I think that you posted that in the wrong topic. See: "IG-88 v.s. HK-47."

That is because it was not on this topic. It was on the "HK-47 v.s. IG-88" topic.

I haven't found much else at the flea market but I did come across another Fett Underworld cover, so I picked that one up too.  I need to frame that Shadows one! lol

ARC--yeah, my town is THE last place I would ever think of finding ANYTHING like that LOL.  What can I say?  The Force showed me the way hehehee

I once found the original Kenner figure in a garage sale-esque "mini-mall." Used, of course.

Thanks ;)

Right now, there's a couple of those 12-in figures at the flea market, one of Han Solo (going for around $40) and one of Greedo (I think $12).  You know I wouldn't get one without the other, and they have been there for a while...still there, haven't picked them up.  If one was Boba you know I'd have it! lol
