If Secret Wars heats up, the original issues in this book could be worth grabbing as individual copies.
I was lucky enough to grab an entire Secret Wars set in NM condition back in the early 90’s for 20 bucks, including issue 8. I was really into Venom when I was younger so I was trying to collect anything having to do with him. I’m also a completist so I wasn’t just about to get issue 8. Sometimes I wanna pat younger me on the back for being such a meticulous dude. This also includes a full set of Infinity War signed by Ron Lim. Just need to verify those through CBCS since this was pre CGC.
