  1. 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
  2. I cannot believe the frenzy in some FS threads, do people really look at what they are buying before pulling the trigger ?
  3. 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
  4. 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.
  5. My copy. One of the best 9.0's you will see for this book. Comic looks like a solid 9.4 and if you could hold it into your hands, you would wonder why it got only a 9.0. I called for the CGC notes a few years ago (when it was free ) and the only notes were: store stamp on back cover and light rust on staples. I usually hate rust on staples but on this one it is really not obvious, maybe because of the black cover. I love this copy
  6. The complete ASM clone saga storyline in avg NM/M 9.8: $1,300 (about $10 per book on average).
