  1. Fantastic Four #83 VF+ : $50 Would be NM-/NM if not for small crease on upper right corner Inhumans cover/story
  2. Fantastic Four #43 app. VF+ : $40 some tiny black color touch-ups on spine
  3. There are many of them. Here are a few examples:
  4. Marvel Two-in-One #1 VF+ : $60 small tear on back cover otherwise better
  5. Strange Adventures #125 VF- : $85 Looks much better but has small stain on upper left corner of front cover above the DC logo.
  6. Nick Fury #5 VF- : $30 Classic cover Structurally better but tiny dots of foxing along spine and a small stain on upper right corner of back cover
  7. Nightmare #19 VF+ : $35 Nightmare #22 VF+ : $35 or buy both for $60
  8. The Hulk #10 VF/VF+ : $15 My undercopy. I had this one for years until I finally found a NM copy of this issue a few weeks ago. Tough copy to find in high grade.
  9. Title says it all. 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. Prices are in principle firm but feel free to send me a PM and make an offer if you want; I am open to negotiation especially on multiple purchases, worst I can say is no. 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) 1-10 raw books (regular size) with $100 insurance and tracking number to the USA with strong packaging is estimated around $22.00 2) 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 or international money orders.
  10. Lots and lots of great stuff in his thread. I don't like participating in threads I can't think about a purchase for 10 seconds without it being gone. Now if the books are $1 then I'm all for making split decisions but when we are dealing with $200 books then I shy away from those types of threads (unless Foolkiller or October are blowing out books of course) Next month. Yours will be a frenzy FS thread that I am eager to buy from
  11. I cannot believe the frenzy in some FS threads, do people really look at what they are buying before pulling the trigger ?
  12. Howard the Duck #1-33 + Annual #1 + Howard the Duck magazine #1-9: $750 My personal full run of this serie. Most books are file copies purchased from Todd Lange. Grades are as follow: 1: 9.4 2: 9.6 3: 9.8 4: 9.8 5: 9.6/9.8 6: 9.8 7: 9.8 8: 9.8 9: 9.6/9.8 10: 9.4 11: 9.8 12: 9.8 13: 9.6 14: 9.8 15: 9.4 16: 9.6 17: 9.2 18: 9.6 19: 9.4 20: 9.8 21: 9.4 22: 9.4 23: 9.4/9.6 24: 9.6 25: 8.5 26: 9.4 27; 9.6 28: 9.6 29: 9.4 30: 9.4 31: 9.4 32: 9.4 33: 9.6 Annual 1: 9.6 Magazines: #1: 9.0 #2: 9.4 #3: 9.6/9.8 #4: 9.2 #5: 9.4 #6: 9.4 #7: 9.4 #8: 9.4 #9: 9.2
  13. It is light rust, the staple is not completely rusted. The kind of rust that you could remove if you could clean the staple with WD40 but that would damage the paper. I personally agree that store stamp, date stamp, arrival date and any kind of writing on covers should downgrade a book and CGC in that period was thinking the same but I know that it is not the case anymore as you can see stamps/writing on some books graded 9.6 by CGC. Except for the little blunt on the lower left corner, the other corners are sharp and the spine is almost flawless. A straight resub on this HOS should get a higher grade but I hate the new slabs and this one will not be for sale anyway, would rather prefer it raw than in a new slab.
