Crimebuster

Let's just call it a day but before I close the thread...

10% everything remaining! 

I'm trying to decide whether to stop now, or add in a bunch of stuff. I've got some big lots of SA and BA books I could put up of people are interested - Action, Superman, Phantom Stranger, Tomb of Dracula, I'm not even sure what else. Anyone interested in lots, or should I just call it a day?

Strange Adventures #187 - 3.0 - $45

1st appearance of The Enchantress

This book got wet at some point, so it has that ripply feel of a book that dried out. You can see the water effect most clearly on the back cover. There's also a heavy indentation you can see on the back cover above American Seed - like a thumbnail, but this goes through about half the book. Someone must have dropped something on it.

A cool first appearance you don't see that often.

Take it 

That's it for tonight. Buy while the buying is good. I might have more over the weekend if I can think of anything. 

Offers encouraged.

Cash even more encouraged!

Archie's Pals N' Gals #23 - Incomplete - $50

First Josie

The Josie story is intact!

Three pages have been removed - 2 betty pinups, 2 veronica pinups, 1 gag strip, and the last page of one of the stories. However, the Josie story is complete, as are all the other stories. 

Low grade copies of this are going for $125-150 on ebay. Since this is incomplete, let's drop it down to $50. 

Sold!

Black Cat Mystery #29 - 1.8 - $80

Spine split top and bottom. Bottom staple detached, top staple barely hanging on. 

Transition into horror issue!

Warlock #1 - 4.0 - $40

Looks like a nice 6.0, but there's some schmutz on the front cover that doesn't come up in the scan on the villains in the bottom left corner. Combined with the bc issues, let's call it a 4.0. 

1st issue, MCU, black frame cover. What's not to love?

Marvel Super Heroes #17 - 4.0 - $55

Black Knight origin and really sweet cover. Eternals and MCU movie hype.

These squarebound black covers aren't forgiving!

Ms. Marvel #18 - 8.0 - $175

1st full Mystique

I want to call this an 8.5, but the back cover holds it back a little. A press and a clean might bump this one, not sure.  

Some of the prices this book is fetching on ebay are crazy! A copy with massive water damage on the back cover sold for $141! I think this is a good deal, and I'll even throw in for free a low grade Ms. Marvel #17 as well.

More books coming when I have time. Maybe tonight, maybe tomorrow.

Ms. Marvel #18, Marvel Super-Heroes #17 (Black Knight), Warlock #1, and whatever else I can dig up.

I should probably just call J.G. Wentworth, because I need cash now!! 

Silver Romance Lot - $190

29 books - Low grades across the board

I think they are all complete but I haven't inspected everything

The four books in the last photo are extra musty 

Price Drops!

Tales of Terror #1 - 1.5 - $150 $125

Fantastic Fears #1 - 1.8 - $180  $160

Wow Comics #34 - 3.5 - $75 $65

People obviously don't know that Avengers #232 was from a very low period in the title's history.

Personally, I think the Roger Stern run is excellent, and hardly a low period. Though the Milgrom art doesn't do anybody any favors. 

I mean, this issue still shouldn't be worth anything, don't get me wrong. But it's not a bad era for stories.

per PM

That's it for now. I may add more things in a day or two depending on how fast this stuff sells. 

Buy my product?

Wow Comics #34 - 3.5 - $75 $65

Someone traced over a bunch of stuff on the back cover with a pencil. But not the front, thankfully. PQ is okay except that extreme bottom right corner, which you can see had some toastiness that led to chipping. 

Fantastic Fears #1 - 1.8 - $180  $160

Bottom staple detached, small tear through book at bottom staple. Top staple is just barely hanging on through force of will, but barely. Book is complete!

Tales of Terror #1 - 1.5 - $150 $125

The spine is mostly split - from bottom to bottom staple, and from top past top staple. But the cover is still hanging on at the bottom staple. It's not dead yet!!

This is the chaste version without the obvious nipple. 

Next up are a couple low grade PCH that I know almost nothing about other than Google. I'll probably price them like an insufficiently_thoughtful_person one way or the other, but I guess we can have a good laugh if I do. 

Conan the Barbarian #24 - 8.0 - $220 $200

This has three small indentations on the fc - two by Sonja's hair, one by the lower staple. A couple non color breaking bends at the top spine. Blunted corners. 

I got this from the OO.
