  1. ebay user: dasch_8091 I'm running 82 auctions of all sorts of comics. He makes low offers on a few of them. Most I reject, but a couple are books that will probably end up selling at about what he is offering, and this gives me the chance to get a package mailed off early, so I accept. Except that he doesn't pay and then waits several days until a few hours before all of my auctions end to send me a "Please cancel my order" message. Now they get relisted, but they won't get the opportunity to go off with all my other orders.
  2. Maybe it should be all lower case. But the line in between is correct. tucson_collectibles
  3. I just noticed this buyer was listed earlier in December, but unfortunately I didn't see it. Tucson_Collectibles (located in Hawaii btw) He sent an offer on a graded comic. I accepted. After 2 days I hadn't heard back, so I sent a very nice message thanking him for his winning bid and telling him I would ship within 24 hours of payment. He pays the next day and I ship. Today he asks for a refund due to damage and especially after I "hounded" him for payment. I guess he thinks the eBay reminder that they send came from me. I just think he's a loser.
  4. Everything is still available, but I will close it tonight if there is no interest in these 1940's Quality comics.
  5. CLOSED. Sorry this didn't interest anyone. Hello. I will be listing a few CGC slabbed books from Quality comics. I accept PayPal for quick shipping. I will accept checks, but I will only ship once they clear. These are all CGC books. They are graded by professionals. No returns. First "take it" wins. This takes precedence over any negotiations. Shipping is $15, no matter how many you purchase. No Hall of Shame or probation folks. Sales close at 11:59 pm EST on 1/4/2020. Scanner is broken, so please excuse my flash from camera.
  6. I sold them for $750 for the pair. I needed tires for the car. My guess is both were 3.0-4.0 ish...
  7. I sold AF 15 and Amazing Spider-Man 1 for peanuts in the early 1990's. I sold FF1, bought another one a few years ago, then needed money for school and sold it again. I think I might not get a third chance. As a kid I had GS X-Men 1 and X-Men 94 and Hulk 181, but I have no idea where they disappeared to. I'm sure they were coverless by the time I was done with them.
  8. I was having this discussion with a fellow collector yesterday.. I googled the topic and it led me to this very old thread. With all of the debate about GS X-Men 1, there was no debate about that on a couple of other places I looked (such as wikipedia, not that wikipedia is the definitive source by any stretch). I was wondering if after all of these years, does anyone have any more thoughts on this topic?
  9. Baseball card collectors have been dealing with this for years. In Mexico, there are companies that make plastic cases that are basically identical to those used by PSA (the baseball card equivalent of CGC). Scammers buy a legit card with a PSA high grade and crack the slab and resubmit the card. Then, they take the label from the cracked slab and use it with the fake case and sell the reprint card for the price of the original. Scammers will figure out a way to make a fake CGC case and insert one of these in it. And since you are so happy with your CGC 9.0 (or better). Avengers #1, there is no way you will crack open the fake case to realize you've been duped until the scammers are long gone. I agree with the early posters. This is a very bad thing.
  10. Skywald was my first exposure to The Heap. I still have the one shot from the early 70's, and I have picked up quite a few G.A. books that contain Heap adventures since then (although technically, I don't necessarily think they are the same character). I don't think The Heap was too provocative...
  11. This isn't an add request. It is a removal request. For the Ibis the Invincible set, the set consists of six issues, all published by Fawcett publications in the USA. For some reason, a Canadian variant (published by Anglo-American publications) is listed as part of the set. Other sets don't have the Canadian variants listed (for example, Doll Man is Quality Comics, and Bell Comics is the Canadian distributor - the Bell Comics are not on the registry). This variant is a "Mighty Midget" comic as well. The "Mighty Midget" that Fawcett produced isn't even in the set, so it doesn't make sense that the Canadian variant is in. Only one of these variants has ever been graded, and none of the current collectors registered for the set has this variant in their set. It just doesn't fit. Removing it would not affect a single collector. Thanks for listening. Thank you for the feedback. The book has been removed.
  12. On the Ibis the Invincible registry it lists the six Fawcett issues (which is what I would expect) then a (nn) Scott-Bathgate promotional giveaway. I have looked all over the internet, and I cannot find any mention of this. I know there was a Mighty Midget issue, but that doesn't fit into the slot. Anyone have a clue as to what this is?
  13. I've been picking up issues from the 60's in the 4.0 to 7.0 ungraded range lately and for the most part end up spending less than $20 per book. Sometimes it ends up a lot less. At the rate I'm going, I think I will have every issue from 1960 to the end in the next 6 months or so. I'm just thrilled to have such cool covers and stories for a bargain price. Then, I will have to decide whether to stop, or try to work into the 1950's. Enjoying the ride ( and this thread).
  14. I grew up with these books, and my Daredevils were in the well loved condition of your books here. Absolutely beautiful!
  15. I certainly can't compete with the quality of the books shown so far, but I am slowly trudging through a decent run. World's Finest is the only comic I ever subscribed to. In 1974, I could not find them on newsstands anywhere, so I sent in my $3 (which at 8 years old was big bucks to me) and got a subscription. Little did I know that the comics would raise to 60 cents each (Giant 100 pagers), so I didn't get many issues at all. In the mid 1980's, I wrote a letter to the editors talking about how difficult it must be to continually come up with stories featuring the same main characters. I actually received a letter from Joey Cavalieri that told me how difficult it had been for him to do just that, and that the title was being cancelled. I wish I knew where that letter is now. Anyway, I have about 125 issues between 110 and 323. Since they are so cheap, I might just finish this run in the next year or two. I know a lot of the stories are campy, but they bring back such great memories of my childhood. Raw copies in 3.0-6.0 from the 1960's will just have to suffice considering my budget.
