Unknown Worlds #6 7.0-7.5 -- asking $20 + shipping

As always, mileage will vary on these things. If I did care about Liefeld I wouldn't now that his auto prices have gotten out of hand. Capullo and Snyder have been making the rounds, and I was at about three different shows that their tour stopped at last year (I got any autos I wanted at Planet Con in KC). Quesada and Kubert don't move the needle for me, but I know they do for others. So for me, the guest list wasn't exciting. Maybe I am just old. You're definitely right about the problem of # of attendees relative to how much they spend with vendors. We're finding an inverse relationship between attendance and profitability, to be honest. The bigger the show, the higher the booth fees and other costs and the fewer the comic buyers. Meanwhile, smaller shows have been much more profitable. Fewer people, but they are all there to buy comics.

Took these photos last weekend at a dealer table, he is one of the few dealers I know that understands and appreciates DCUs. I bought the 1996 set, but left the others even though they were very fairly priced. I figured I would post the photos here for research purposes (they'll be front and back of each set). Sorry about the rotation of the photos, they weren't rotated on my PC but unfortunately iPhone photos always want to do this (my least favorite feature).

Unknown Worlds #5 7.0-7.5 -- asking $25 + shipping Bit of top edge wear, otherwise flat & glossy. Same great paper as the other books.

Unknown Worlds #4 7.5ish -- asking $39 + shipping (well below OSPG) Flat, glossy, great paper.

Unknown Worlds #3 4.5 or so -- asking $10 + shipping Looks a bit nicer, but wear around the staples, edge wear, and a few light moisture spots. Still has great paper and color.

Back later on with the last ACG title I've got, Unknown Worlds. It's possible I add a few other random goodies too.

Midnight Mystery #5 VG -- asking $5 + shipping Looks more like F/VF, but weird damage at the bottom of the book. Heavy distributor ink plus some short and clean cuts through the whole book. None of the art or story is affected, and book is completely readable. Very odd pattern of defects. Perfect reader though.

Midnight Mystery #4 7.5ish -- asking $22 + shipping Another super fresh book. Some non-color breaking bending, easy VF with a press I think (maybe better).

take

Midnight Mystery #3 7.0 -- asking $19 + shipping Looks better, but some edge chipping to back cover.

I just sent you one, did it go through? I don't have you on ignore, so not sure what was up...

Midnight Mystery #2 7.5ish -- asking $25 + shipping Tight, flat, and glossy. Bit of a dust shadow on back cover, small tear on lower edge of back cover.

Not to mention that he would need two different sized left shoes.

Nice start!

Doing some collection closet organization during the break. Great fun. Midnight Mystery #1 VF -- asking $45 + shipping (over $50 in grade in OSPG) First issue of a title you don't see every day. Bit of wear to lower right corner is about it. Flat, glossy, great pages.

Forbidden Worlds #97 6.5-7.0 -- asking $12 + shipping Minor tear at top edge, amazing paper like the other books from this collection.

Forbidden Worlds #96 6.5-7.0 -- asking $12 + shipping

Forbidden Worlds #95 7.5ish -- asking $15 + shipping

Forbidden Worlds #94 7.5 -- asking $49 + shipping SOLD 2nd appearance of Herbie. Very solid copy, bit of short creasing at lower left corner of back cover. Extremely fresh paper.

Forbidden Worlds #93 about 7.0 -- asking $20 + shipping (about 4.0 OSPG) Very solid copy, bit of scuffing along spine. Very fresh paper like the others. That is distributor ink at the bottom back cover.

There is a reason that Beast needs to run with his hands...
