David, So nice to hear from you! Hope you're doing well. I saw the same info that you did, and I'm almost positive that the 8.0 SS doesn't have Murphy. We've done so many great trades in the past. Most of the books I got from you went into my "collecting vortex" as I think I still have almost all of them. (SC22, Cap 26, Bats 171) Thanks for stopping by. Michael

Based on the success of my JIM83 trade thread, I thought I would try another one. This one is a little different in the respect that I'd like the end result to be trading one to many keys for a single mega-key, but we'll see what happens. (If anything...) I have several books that I would consider trading, but I'm going to post a dozen or so to start and provide a list of some others just to see the level of interest. I really enjoy this kind of thread, because it's more about the nostalgic collecting aspect that I can connect to rather than the pursuit of the almighty dollar. (Though there is nothing wrong with that, either.) So onto the rules: Rules: Pretty much any grade, though I'm not really looking to add a lot of cash to a deal. I have conducted many sales and trades on these boards over the years and can provide multiple references if need be. 1. Shipping is Free. As the trading partner will cover their shipping/insurance as well. CONUS only at this time. As I'm the thread starter (aka Seller), "buyer" will ship first and once received I will send within 24-hours. 2. As always, books slabbed or raw can only be returned within 48 hours of receipt. Unless I make an error in listing, shipping is on you. 3. Offers are welcome via PM, but in case of any controversy in PM vs In thread, I will be the final arbiter. 4. Checks/MOs or Paypal if applicable. 5. No Probies or HOSers, Please don't test me on this, I will embarrass you if at all possible. 6. Pressing status is unknown for most of these books. But if I know, I will disclose. Books I WILL consider but not a complete list. (Ask you never know...) I will consider pretty much any grade and potentially restored. (Though not trimmed) I do have other books that could be used to make the trade values work. GPA will be the guide, but I'm pretty easy to work with. All offers should be via PM Please. The dollar amount I'm posting is to satisfy board rules. So, I will sell for that number, but trade value will be in line with GPA for the most part. The books I'm looking for: TOS39 TTA27 FF1 AV1 JIM83 DD1 Strange Tales 110 Hulk 1 Showcase 4 The books I currently have to trade along with "price" (Setting a sales price to abide by rules. Trade value will be based on GPA) Amazing Spider-Man 129 CGC 7.0 (1st Punisher) $1200 Conan 1 CGC 9.0 (1st in Comic) TRADED Savage Sword of Conan 1 CGC 9.6 SS Boris Vallejo (Just plain gorgeous book and gold sig.

Can't imagine it not improving.) TRADED Detective 311 CGC 9.0 (1st Catman. Scarce in high grade. Only 6 graded higher.) $1000 Brave and The Bold 34 CGC 4.5 (1st Silver Hawkman and Hawkgirl) $500 Superman 24 2.0 (Patriotic Flag Cover) $1000 Superman 53 1.5 (Origin) TRADED Batman 171 CGC 6.5 SS Murphy Anderson (I believe this is the highest graded Murphy SS of Batman 171. Hasn't been pressed, but has the off center staples. There cant be many overall.) $1000 SOLD Giant Size X-men 1 CGC 6.5 (1st New X-men) TRADED Batman 232 CGC 5.0 (1st Ras al Ghul) $400 Werewolf by Night CGC 7.0 (1st Moon Knight and Mark Jewelers copy) $1200 Incredible Hulk 180 CGC 5.0 (1st Wolverine cameo) $500 TRADED Silver Surfer 1 CGC 4.5 SS Sinnott and Lee $1100 Silver Surfer 4 CGC 5.5 $475 TRADED Sub-Mariner 1 CGC 7.0 $350 Amazing Spiderman 13 CGC 3.5 $900 TRADED Raws: Crime SuspenStories 22 1.0/1.5 (This book is rough, but complete. Spine is mostly split, and the obvious chunk off the top right. Book is supple. Not brittle.) $1300 TRADED Mask Comics 1 (This book has some amateur restoration. Reinforcement and Color touch to the cover. I have no idea how to value this book...) $1500 TRADED Amazing Spider-Man 101 5.0 $450. Looks much better but moisture ripple along the top and light stain. TRADED Batman 181 6.0 $900 Fantastic Four 48. 3.0/3.5 Bottom staple blown. 😫. Top staple holding. Looks F- otherwise. NO LONGER AVAILABLE Seven Seas 3 $800. 5.0 Really nice book! Has a couple tears that hold.it out of VF territory and a small piece of unnecessary tape. Matt Baker cover. TRADED Zegra Jungle Empress 5 Crippen Ped with Cert. Graded 5.5 by Heritage on Cert. $600 I also have a decent selection of raws in my "to cgc" pile that I'd be willing to trade. Pics to follow. Thanks for looking!

Just a little Some interesting offers. I think this one is going to work out.

Now it's a party.

Journey into Mystery 83 CGC 5.0 SS Stan Lee C/OW pages. Great signature placement and very well presenting copy.

Got a hankering to trade down and maybe pull in a couple of lower-grade keys. I'd love to do a trade, but I'm really looking to turn these into another mega-key, either with cash or trade value. Pretty much any grade, though I'm not really looking to add a lot of cash to a deal. I have conducted many sales and trades on these boards over the years and can provide multiple references if need be. 1. Shipping is Free. As the trading partner will cover their shipping/insurance as well. CONUS only at this time. As I'm the thread starter (aka Seller), "buyer" will ship first and once received I will send within 24-hours. 2. As always, books slabbed or raw can only be returned within 48 hours of receipt.

Checks/MOs or Paypal if applicable. 5. No Probies or HOSers, Please don't test me on this, I will embarrass you if at all possible. 6. Pressing status is unknown. I purchased slabbed several years ago. Books I WILL consider but not a complete list. (Ask you never know...) I will consider pretty much any grade and potentially restored. (Though not trimmed) The idea is to net two or more books, but that isn't set in stone. I do have other books that could be used to make the trade values work. GPA will be the guide, but I'm pretty easy to work with. All offers should be via PM Please. As for trade valuation. It is pretty difficult to come up with a clear number for Lee SS books now that he's gone. I see a recent sale of a 5.5 SS for $12,000 and a 6.5 with the added sigs of Lieber and Sinnott at $16,000. I will set the Trade Value on my copy at $10,500 though it is somewhat negotiable based on the books offered.

Happy to help. This place truly has some of the best graders in the business. I really do think their opinions will help as there is a significant difference in price below 7.0 and this copy is raw. No more comments from this peanut gallery. GLWTS/T!

Nice book. You may want to try posting in the PGM thread to get more of a board consensus on the grade. It will help you sell/trade raw books being that you're a pretty new boardie. For what it's worth, I'm not sure this copy would grade that high from CGC. Totally my opinion and meant only to help. You have provided a multitude of pictures for others to judge.

I just looked around this thread, saw the desolation, shook my head sadly and have decided to go to bed. Great sale, sorry I missed it. Congrats to buyers and seller.
