This Could Get Expensive

Is there a twelve step program for comic book collecting? I might have a problem.
Yesterday I had a day off, so my wife and I went on another "Comic Trip". I believe I was in Lee Summit, Missouri the whole time. I'll give you the short, short version of the stops we made with the run down of the loot pictured below. Almost all of the comics were a $1 each, maybe six of them were $2.
First stop was at a flea market. Only about two booths there had a collection of comics for sale. There I picked up a few Captain America and X-men issues.
Stopped at a nearby Toys R Us where Rachael found these Sixteen Candles Pop! figures on clearance. Bonus. Just missing Samantha for the whole set.
Went to a place called Cargo Largo, maybe you've heard of it? I've never been into one. Picked up these X-men Pops! on clearance, like... super cheap! I purposely didn't pick up Mystique cause, I just don't care for her.
Used the ol' Comic Book Locator website to find Pulp Fiction Comics. Not a bad store, a lot of good back issue comics and the bins were amazing. Custom made pull out drawers (I should have taken a picture). There was a gathering there because, gaming. Ended up not buying anything, but I can see me going back sometime again.
Last stop... another Vintage Stock location. That's were I picked up a few Fantastic Four issues. Just a few. Not a bad haul. Too bad I've discovered the "internet" and "online ordering".
Yep. I'm in trouble.
