Amazing copy.. where on Earth did you find that recently? And what's the TOS copy you need for your run?

Good Lord.. why are there still people who pop up defending this guy... get a clue

Ever since I met this guy I felt like I've lost some brain cells... but he's a man of his word and good to deal with... what else can you ask for?

Dat's a good guy. I've met him in person and also done some high $ deals with. No worries at all.

Dear Gator, Who would win in a wizard duel to the death... Dumbledore or Gandolf?

Wowie kazowie!... Nice Books Cheetah ... If your ever looking to sell any, don't hesitate to PM your old Pal Tsimanga )))

Speaking of TTA... why did that #3 in 7.0 sell for $1,500 on CLINK? It's a heckuva book and I'd love to have it... but why did that book fetch so much?

Thanks, I picked up another gem tonight that I likely overpaid a bit for but I couldn't pass it up. Will post a pic shortly. I think the earlier start for JIM and ST is definitely a factor in the number of higher grade issues. When you consider that TOS & TTA started up when ST and JIM had been going for 60+ issues already you will definitely see a difference there. Also I'm sure that the early JIM and ST issues had fairly low print runs, as all comics in the 1950's late pre-code and early post-code era were feeling the effects of the comics implosion after the Senate hearings, etc. Strange Tales continued intermittent publication after the 1957 Atlas implosion while JIM was basically shut down (one issue in mid-58) until it was re-started coincident with the initiation of Marvel Comics. It's possible they used old sales figures to plan the print runs of JIM and ST while acting optimistically with TOS and TTA, but I've never heard that or seen any figures. Does that explain why I just got a Journey into mystery #48 graded and it came back a 6.5 dated 8/57 instead of dated 7/57? Did they reprint the same book two consecutive months and then take the year long break? Is it the only double issue in the run?

I think you mean he undergrades. Payette is one of the tighest graders in the hobby. Hmmm.. I don't quite agree there... least not on 9.0 or better Golden age. I'm not gonna get into it in detail, but to me, I think he overgrades HG books quite harshly... I like him. Good dealer. Good guy to deal with... it's just my take from multiple experiences... that being said, I'd buy from him anytime, I'd just watch out for the HG's..

Keep us updated here, Dat. 14 days is gratious, then it turns to 30 days with no response. You got some nice books, he probably bit off more than he could chew and is scrambling for the dough.

I love that cover. Did you guy see the Straneg Tales #95 CGC 9.4 that was on Comiclink? Looks like its been taken off already. I did see that.. along with a 9.0 early pre hero issue, presumably from the same seller. They werent up that long and then got taken off. I wasn't going to buy them as the asking price was sky high, but they were great books and I was curious to se what thye would go for... anyone know what happened to those books?

[font:Arial Black]loboagain[/font] Thanks for the killer FF book via your VCC sale... great shipping as always ))

MrBedrock You are the man. Thanks for the killer Green Hornet books )...

Can we get an approximate start time my man )

I'm sorry Doc, is there an issue here you wish to raise? It's an open forum, please by all means go right ahead and speak your mind. I guess if I bought from him I would be embarrassed that I made that stupid mistake and wouldn't want people to know that I was that stupid, I don't know if showing the list was the right way to go. Naw.. anybody who buys raw comics over a period of time is bound to get had at one time or another. No matter who it is. It just happens. It's not being stupid my man. The key is to keep it at a bare minimum. I'm not on this list, but I've been had more than one time and I've made posts about it. mess happens.

Thanks George... AKA JiveTurkeyMoFo No worries ever with this guy. High $ or low$... bullet proof packing... one of the best on the boards.... thanks...

Thanks BIO-RUPP AKA - Michael For the nice 9.8 Suspenstories book. Good packing and good shipping. I take back what I told my wife about you... you're an alright kinda guy...

Thanks Jay.. aka JKRK Got me a suweet JIM #1 from him. Packed and shipped like a pro as always...

Nice books Martin! I just might bid on a few... Thanks - Please, bid away... hope you get some steals ... only about 4-6 weeks left until my Ebay raw book stock is dry... saved the best for last...

Lots of cool pre-hero strange tales issues ending Sat morning on Ebay... check my link in my sig line )) This is a bona fide shameless plug... but there's some cool books.. someone will thank me Im sure...

Big thanks to turtleboy23 aka Andrew Thanks for the great books. We did a very large deal via PM and it went smooth and easy... great guy to work with, packed and shipped like a pro with great communication... big thanks my man

Thanks for reminding me...... I just put the post in the Marketplace now ) http://shop.ebay.com/harvdoss/m.html?_trkparms=65:12|66:2|39:1|72:2963&_trksid=p3911.c0.m14&_ipg=200

How about a preview here? We'll, most of the Strange Tales are already up. Next Wed the rest, along with the Journey into Mysterys and a few TOS/TTA will also go up. Both ten day listings. I dont want to clutter this cool thread with my shameless sales posting... we can just leave it here and whomever reads the thread hopefuly can see em and check em out and get some good deals.... links in my sig line or in the sales announcement section.

I know this isn't exactly the correct forum.. but thought I'd give people in this thread a heads up.. For the next two weeks I'm posting nearly 100 pre-hero Strange tales and JIMS on Ebay in no reserve auctions. These books almost never show up on Ebay auctions let alone so many at once. I'm sure many will go for great deals and I'd rather they go to you guys than someone I don't know off Ebay in Germany or what not. But the links in my sig line. ST up this week and JIMS up next...
