I've honesty never heard of "The Peacemaker" but obviously someone has.

He was the Charlton character that the Comedian (from Watchmen) was based off of.  That was the only reason I was interested in him.

 

It's just another one of those movie driven characters that has the speculators in a frenzy (and, I also was only interested in the character prior to his year due to the Watchmen tie).  To be fair, early indications are that the upcoming Suicide Squad movie looks to be very promising, and Peacemaker (played by John Cena) seems to be an integral character.  So much so, that an HBO Max spin-off series will focus solely on Peacemaker.  I think the reason this book (and Fightin' 5 #40 - first appearance) are so lofty is due to the fact that Charlton books were printed on "cheap paper" and don't seem to hold up well over time.  So there aren't many of these out there, and to find them in high grades (9.4+) is pretty rare.  So I get the quick growth in these books, but it does seem a bit wacky for a character that most people had never heard of until a few months ago.

Madness...

 Thanks so much!

First the disclaimers:

Typical Board rules apply here.  I don't sell much on the boards (I mostly like to buy ), but have sold 5 figure books in the past.  Also, feel free to check out my 100% feedback on ebay (CrocHntr). 

First in the thread is the and trumps any PM negotiations.  Returns are accepted, but return postage will be on the buyer.

Shipping is via USPS Priority Mail in the US and is $10.  Payment via PayPal.

Now on to the books.  I finally got around to cataloging all my comics that I collected as a kid in Collectorz in the past few weeks.  I was just a bit late to the TMNT craze, so never got to pick up the first couple of issues, but did manage to snag some good ones.  These have all been read, so no nosebleed high grades here, but these are great books for a TMNT fan.  I really never caught the TMNT fever, so want to send them on to someone who will appreciate them. 

Let's do this.  Take the entire lot for $40 + $10 Shipping = $50 Total. 

I’m only selling as a lot, and here are my "grader" notes:

Michaelangelo #1:  9.2 - 9.4.  One color breaking crease on spine and a very slight corner color loss.

Donatello #1:  8.0-8.5.  2 color breaking creases/dents in spine.  Slight color loss bottom corner.  2 color breaking folds on right corner.

TMNT #2 (3rd Print):  Lots of spine ticks.  Didn't give this one a grade because I considered it a "freebie".

TMNT #7:  8.0.  Spine ticks/dents; pressable but some color breaking creasing on spine

TMNT #8:  9.0.  A few spine ticks/dents.  Just a hint of color loss on top left corner.

TMNT #9:  9.0 - 9.2.  Tough black cover.  4-5 color breaking spine ticks.  Otherwise nice.

Longshot is still underrated... he is an awesome character with a cool ability

I agree.  Longshot was a great character, and I remember when the limited series was hot at the time.  Too expensive for me as a child with an allowance anyway.  Would love to see something new with the character.

Loved this series as well.  I just flipped through mine last week.  Nice looking copy!

VIGILANTE (1ST SERIES) # 36 - GLOSSY NM-/NM COPY - $10

MARVEL GRAPHIC NOVEL # 4 - GLOSSY NM MINUS COPY - $110

1ST PRINTING. 1ST APPEARANCE OF THE NEW MUTANTS.

Just a sweet copy with those simple defects that come with a black cover.  Top spine has a smidge of rounding and a minute amount of color loss in different areas on the cover.  Black covers over time make this unavoidable it seems.  See scans and decide for yourself.  I think scans make black covers look worse...dang scans    I would call this NM-/NM if black covers weren't heavily scrutinized with fine tooth combs   Prices all over the place since the movie came and went.  

More pics of the corners and covers from my camera in a few minutes.

via PM.  Thanks!

Pretty low number out of the gate imo for a 8.5 Sensation 1

With respect to Sensation 1: there are nearly 2 weeks left in the auction. How a book does in the first day may not be a great indicator of the final price. Any serious bidders are likely watching and waiting. 

Looking a bit more lively now.  Bid at $130k with over 3 days to go.  

As a child of the ‘80s, toys drove my comic selection.  So naturally I gravitated towards Transformers, GI Joe, MASK, Masters of the Universe, etc.  But my favorite Marvel mini-series was undoubtedly Starriors.  It was actually a good read for a toy based comic.

Binder drew a recreation, but only partially in color.

Oh wow!  Love it. .  I agree that it’s still missing some of that color pop, but this is much nicer than the b&w original art.  Nice!

This one has been at the top of my want list for years!  Beautiful!  I also regret not bidding higher when the cover art sold a few years ago on CC.  That said, it's the colors that make it so amazing, so even original cover art doesn't do it complete justice.

Still worth $15 even missing the Famous First Edition front and back covers? Still good for reading.

I think I was trying to be kind.  Going from mega bucks to $20 seemed harsh enough.  Knocking that down to “practically worthless” just seemed too brutal.  Haha.

9.2 to 9.4 seems in the range.  I'd hope for 9.4, but depends on the grader.

 I was thinking 9.0 - 9.2 range (leaning towards 9.2) due to corners, and the spine indention.  Doesn't look like spine breaks color, so could be convinced of a 9.4 at best.

I'm afraid it's a Famous First Edition oversized Treasury reprint.  Great reading material, but probably only worth $15-$20 at best.

Thanks for the tip...that’s a HORRIBLE change, especially since you can’t individually mark the sales sub categories 

My thoughts exactly.  Now I actually have to exit the GA Forum to mark it read.  Much simpler when there was a link at the top within the forum you’re viewing.

Key Comics #4

Really bright, solid at least a 7.0. The spine is crazy nice.

Walter Johnson cover.

This book is from 1946 people.

$300.00 $250.00 $200.00 shipped.

Thanks!

Any idea how to “mark the forum read”?  Used to be a link at the top of each forum.  I can never read all the posts, so always like to mark forum read to know the last time I scanned the boards.  I’m not seeing it now...?
