  1. Just these two books for tonight, more in the next days
  2. Giant-Size Thor #1 NM: $150 SOLD Killer copy. The colors, gloss and whiteness on this copy are insane.
  3. Title says it all. Here are terms: People on the probation list, or that I may have on ignore, are not eligible to purchase. Raw books: All my raw books are unrestored and not pressed unless noted. All my raw books are accurately graded and your satisfaction is guaranteed or your money back (except shipping costs) as long as book is returned in same condition as sent within 7 days of receipt. The first in this thread or via PM wins the book based on time stamp. Time payments are possible but must be discussed before you make the purchase. Shipping cost depends of how many books you take, where you live and how you want this to be shipped: 1) 1-3 CGC books with $100 insurance and tracking number to the USA with strong packaging is estimated around $28.00. 2) 1-10 raw books (regular size) with $100 insurance and tracking number to the USA with strong packaging is estimated around $25.00 3) If you want cheaper shipping cost, I can ship 1-3 raw books to the USA in an envelop with Mylar and sandwiched between thick cardboards for $10.00 ($5.00 to Canada). However, there is no insurance nor tracking number and I cannot use a box with this option. If the package gets lost or damaged, there is nothing we can do and I do not recommend this option for more expensive books. 95% of the time there is no problem, but there is a 5% that sometimes get damaged because the postal man is too dumb or other reasons. This option is therefore at your own risk. I do accept PayPal up to $2,000; above that, personal checks (may need to clear if I don't know you though) or international money orders.
  4. Wow! Impressive. That is one book I never was able to find a high grade copy.
  5. I love my scanner as it shows books exactly the way they are, only problem is with black covers which always seem worse than reality.
  6. Not mine anymore unfortunately, sold them in 2018 as part of a full run of WBN. Both were raw 9.4 but buyer got a CGC grade of 9.6 for the #32
  7. As you said, nobody has a crystal ball so in terms of future investment no one can tell you for sure which books will raise most in value in the next years. As for which books you should prioritize, the answer is easy: buy the books you like the most (for art, cover, story, whatever) first. This way, you will be happy even if they don't rise in value.
  8. I was lucky enough to grab the majority of them before CGC even did exist as I was focusing mainly on just three titles back in the time but a few were bought slabbed then cracked to better "fit" with their raw neighbors. I kept the label on those though to remind me of their assigned CGC grade. Raw books also take less space and you can put more of them in a box than CGC books which is especially useful when you rent a space in a bank to keep them. The only ASM issues that I have that are in CGC cases are #1-5
