An interesting topic that I have found now.
Is there a consensus about on how CGC grades a full spine split and a half spine split, then?
And Overstreet criteria how did/do judge this?

Got it. One book in the USA is $5.75 for Ground Advantage. I'll ship it in a Gemini.

Very nice! Deal done!

Amazing Adventures #10 VF+ 8.5 $20.00

Hi! I'd like to take this one (with shipping to USA) but just wished to know the shipping cost as I will have to add the cumulative shipping to Italy from my friend.

Lavoro ma, si, voglio vedere i  altri Archie per favore. 

Bella storia! 
I will send you pictures beforehand when I prepare my sales thread, and — if the total is not reached and still needed — we can arrange a partial donation as well

Love the Milan stamp on the B & V.

I forgot: all have Italian period stamps. If there is no interest I will post another.

BUMP with new price.

See above post - your screen is likely too small to see it.

Surely Lizzy is right.

I did not know that, but I also did not know much about the Devil Slayer, either!

As a Defenders reader from the David Kraft run (rest in peace!) I loved how he used the character, especially his interaction with Hulk and the other team members, Valkyrie and Dr. Strange.

Marvel Spotlight 33 - 8.0 $5

I'm sure you know, but this is the first appearance of the Devil Slayer, for those who care about the character (as I do).
Dull story but nonetheless his first!

Golden Age sales… 
There are so little compared to years ago…

I always LOVE your sales threads!

Let's just say there are a WHOLE lot of people who don't buy your narrative or your character assassination of Stan Lee ... who conveniently isn't around to defend himself. I'm smarmy, huh? I wonder where I get that from? GOD BL;ESS...

Amazing Spider-man  92 VG/F $25

Hi Ed, if they’re still available and with the 10% discount, I will take these two.
I can have US shipping.

Applied a pair of price cuts.
If I find something interesting to add, I'll try to do so in the next days.
Thanks for looking!

Thanks for asking -- I did put this list in Copper/Modern because the vast majority of the books are post-1980, but you're right that there are exceptions.  The books you're noticing that "seem to be Bronze" are, as you suspected, from "Volume 1" of their respective titles.  So when I'm listing (for example) Captain America #209, it's the book from 1977.  

If you see specific books where you feel my description is ambiguous, please feel free to call those out and I will clarify.

Thanks!

Iron Man #9

British stamp on front cover. Tiny stain upper fc and tear at staple on back cover bring down the grade on an otherwise pretty nice copy.

FNVF/VF- - $95

Hero for Hire #1 (Italian Edition)
Editoriale Corno, 1973

Nicely presenting copy, considered the black cover.

VGFN - $49

Back cover:

Giant-Size X-Men #1 (French Edition)
Éditions Lug, 1981

• First French edition of Giant-Size X-Men #1
• Published in the pocket color series "Special Strange" in 1981
• Custom painted cover designed specifically for France by Jean Frisano with the removal of elements considered "too violent"
or offensive for children (e.g. Wolverine is in the background alone).

FN - $75

Hi Lou — I'm confused as far as the series, since you put the thread in "Copper/Modern": many books seem to be Bronze (and thus "volume 1" of specific titles) but since there are no pictures it's unclear.

Set of 2 Italian Disney Postcards with characters in historical costumes
1970s or 1980s

FREE with any purchase (just claim)

Back:
 

Osamu Tezuka - Metropolis (First US Edition)
(メトロポリス, Metoroporisu)
Dark Horse, 2003

«The inspiration for the central character coming from a publicity still of the female robot from Metropolis (even though he had never seen the film or even known what it was about). [?] The setting was based on pre-war Manhattan and Chicago, Emmy and her sister partly from Les Misérables, Michi's powers from Superman (although Tezuka never made the connection between the title of his work and Superman's city), Michi's burning from The Invisible Ray, and Michi's death scene from The Monstrous Fellows of the Country Underground (another Tezuka manga from 1948). [?] The characters Duke Red and Notarlin made their debut in Metropolis, and both of them featured in later works.»

Copy in awesome shape, in my opinion above NM.

NM+ - $65
