If you're a seller, I'm a buyer.

Hanging on to them, they look great on my walls!

What a beauty! LOVE these 3rd Eye posters!

Admin, please delete.

I always thought ebay sent 1099s based on GROSS sales of over $20,000? Is that assumption incorrect?

I go to my seller hub and it states I don't get a 1099 for last year. My NET sales were under $20,000, so maybe it is in fact based on net rather than gross? Anyone know for sure?

I have used MCS for years, only for buying though. Recently I decided to consign a few higher end keys; two of them sold in less than a couple months! Very happy indeed!

1973 promo poster for Batman 251 by Neal Adams. 

Now that's a beauty!

Thanks, I'm leaning that way myself. Apparently Heritage grades these as 4.0 and prices them as such.

Those are pretty cool but it makes me sad they destroyed the comics to make them. I’d buy something like that for the historical value but if they tried to price it even a fraction of what the actual issues go for I’d walk away. Unfortunately they’re not the comics anymore so they aren’t worth (to me, at least) what the unblemished issues are.

Have a look at the top of the spine to see if they have been sewn in as complete comics or have been separated on the spine to remove ad pages etc. The former is obviously better and more valuable imho but will likely still have glue (pva) along outside of the spine. Very cool books!

Here's what I able to find out:

No pages are missing from what I can tell. There's ads, letter columns, etc. What it looks like to me is the staple has been cut off and the pages glued in.

They are nice to own, but it is important to note that almost all bound books have been trimmed, which severely damages their value. 

These are not that common so prices are all over the place.  

Good to know, I didn't think about the trimming aspect.

Trying to come up with a fair price to offer him that's equitable for both of us.

I have a chance to purchase these and hoping to get approximate value on them. I haven't really seen "like items" on ebay. 

These are all Marvel silver age, early issues of FF, X-Men, ASM, etc. In very nice condition too!

Thanks all!

Not a spinner rack, but seemed like the best place for this. I had no idea these existed. 

Now I REALLY need one of these!

Don't know about prices of the books, but cool to see your Tropic Lightning avatar!  Were you in 25th ID?  As you can see, I've got the 3rd ID patch as my avatar. 

Ha! Yes, I was in the 25th ID and you are the first to recognize that (or the first to say something at least). Cavalry Scout, hoo-ah!

Hi all! I don't really collect Fawcett, but man these are gorgeous books!  Opinion; is $1075 shipped a fair deal?

On the face of it this appears to be a very clean book. Cover has good gloss and great colors, pages are nice. Tight binding. Some light wear along top and bottom edges, specifically on back cover.

However, there is about a half inch spine split at top, front cover. How will this affect the grade?

Many thanks!
