Strange Adventures #117-160 full run Atomic Knights: $4,000
It took me more than three decades to complete this run in high grade and it's a much tougher run to complete than any Marvel super-hero title for which, when you have the money, you can complete a run relatively quickly. Forget this with the Atomic Knights, even if you have the cash, some issues are just impossible to find in high grade and come out in the market very rarely. The offering here is therefore a unique opportunity. I will NOT break the run. I will either sell them all or keep them all. This is a title that I know that once sold, I will never be able to find again in that kind of condition.
Grades are as follow:
#117: 7.5
#120: 7.0
#123: 8.0
#124: 6.0 looks much better but half inch split at bottom spine
#126: 8.0
#129: 8.0
#132: 8.0
#135: 9.0
#138: 9.2 (former CGC, now cracked but label will be included, book was not pressed)
#141: 8.5
#142: 8.5
#144: 9.0
#147: 7.5
#150: 9.0/9.2 small ding on lower left corner of fc otherwise solid 9.4
#153: 9.2
#156: 9.0
#160: 8.5/9.0 (looks better from the fc but downgraded because of bc)
Note that I got about half of them from the personal collection of Rick High several years ago. For those like me whom have bought from him in the past, you know how nice are his books.
Also note that #124 and #142 are not Atomic Knights issues but feature the Faceless Creature which character I always did like which is why it's also included

Superman #24 CGC Fine- 5.5: $5,500 SOLD VIA PM
Classic flag cover.
This book was NOT pressed and it would obviously benefit from pressing if you are into that kind of thing (not me). Unpressed copies of such early GA books are today near extinction. Colors and gloss on this copy are beautiful for a comic of that age. Looks gorgeous for its technical grade.

Tales of Suspense #49 VF+ : $1,200
Very undervalued issue and a tough one to find in high grade. Book was formerly a very early CGC 8.5 blue which I did crack to keep for my collection 20 years ago. I found a slightly better copy so this is my undercopy.
Unfortunately, I was not keeping labels during those early years so there is no label included. I agree with the grade though; it looks better from the front cover but there is something on back cover near the lower staple. It looks like some kind of light abrasion (not a stain).

To the best of my knowledge, this book was not pressed. Tight grading by CGC on this copy.

Tales to Astonish #49 former PGX NM- 9.2 with off-white pages: $1,200
1st app. Giant-Man. Great centering on this copy with a full Giant-Man's right foot
I did crack the book out of its slab and it is now raw and sitting in a Mylar but kept the label and it will be included with the book. However, I cannot show it here in order to comply with Board rules.
Also, the book was sold to me by a very reputable seller as originating from the Cleveland collection with a certificate although I have no proof of that and the issue number is not written in the certificate but it will also be included with the book for what it worth but I trust the seller that this is accurate.
Finally, I think that this book has been pressed.
