Resurrecting my trade thread.  Last trade I made was completed on the boards for a Hulk #181 CGC 9.6 (thanks Roy!).  Not looking to sell any of these.  I am a collector and not a dealer nor a flipper.  It is just that my collecting focus has changed over time.  Also, I don't sell to buy (so no need to suggest that).  When I do sell (which is rare), the funds ALWAYS go to a family account; but when I trade, the books go to MY collection.  We each are responsible for safe shipping of books.  I package double-boxed, Priority Mail insured and well protected with bubble-wrap and shipping peanuts.  Actual trade values will be based on 90-day GPA if you have that info (I don't subscribe to GPA, so I will look at recent eBay sales for the past 30-days for my trade offers if you don't have GPA either; optionally GoCollect FMV's could be an option).  I don't mind using cash/PayPal to even up a trade in either direction but prefer focus of trade to be graded books for graded books.  Note that I am looking to downsize only (so multiple of my books for a big key, or same number of my books for same number of your books as I do not have room for more slabs).  Members in good standing only.  Here is what I have available (sorted somewhat by year). FMV's are provided using GoCollect and are a guide only (they can change daily).

I know, I'm a sucker for Logan's Run and these two issues have eluded me (note I will trade one book for two in this case)!  

Other keys considered but only if it is multiple of my books for a big key or two.

https://www.natlawreview.com/article/florida-minimum-wage-to-increase#:~:text=Effective January 1%2C 2021%2C Florida's,hour to %248.65 per hour.

$8.65 an hour. If they're paying their graders $15 to start I'd be more on board 

Yep. Currently $8.65 an hour.  Summary of the article (at least the one I checked earlier) is that "Florida voters passed a Constitutional Amendment which will gradually raise the minimum wage to $15.00 per hour by 2026."

Interested in raw or graded Adventure, Haunted House, Pele Soccer, Championship Soccer, Combat, Dodge Em, and Air Sea Battle.  Maybe others.  

I prefer the better centered book over the better page quality book.  I will not pay a premium for white pages, but will for a perfectly centered book with no mis-wrap.  At the same time, I do expect a discount (and sell/trade at a discount) for bronze or newer books with OW or worse page quality or silver books with C-OW or worse page quality.  I expect an even bigger discount for books that are off-center or mis-wrapped (depending upon how bad) because they are much harder to sell/trade.  I have no gold or older books.  Mileage may vary depending upon availability.

I get my second super soldier shot monday.  Then I'm supposed to get a shield or something.

That's what she said!

Just got back from road trip.  Awesome contest Jay @innocuous.  Congrats Kav @kav.  You earned it buddy.  @CHASEnBLUE I feel like I only started picking winners when you joined in.  I'm in for the next boardie meet up wherever it is.  I am ready to travel somewhere (or soon will be, I got my first super soldier serum shot today and get the second in three weeks)!

Round 12

Even: Sad Sack

Odd: Batman

Daredevil forgot his glasses, so we had to turn around from the road trip to retrieve them.  And now that he lost to the Flashlight, looks like I will be driving now anyway, but time for one last round and then I am hitting the road (hopefully I win against the road).  Bats will win round 12, because riddle me this, riddle me that, never bet against the big bad bat!

Round 11

Even: Green Lantern

Odd: Daredevil

Dang, I missed round 10.  Round 11 will be my last one as I am about to go on a road trip with Daredevil behind the wheel.  But Daredevil clearly beats the Green Flashlight because horn-head is a one of a kind superhero.
