Can you post a link to your comics or kickstarter? I’d like to check out your book!

Sure! Here's the link.

The Crimebusters is like Scooby Doo meets Cthulhu. It's also a continuation of the Crimebuster strip from the Golden Age series Boy Comics, as I pick up the continuity where that series left off with #119 in 1956. I'm hoping with the money from selling these books to hire an artist who is both better and faster than myself  so I can get issues out faster, and also start a couple other titles that I haven't had time to work on since I draw so slowly.

Take

That's it for tonight, but I have three more batches of comics coming. You can let me know which one you want me to do next: a batch of low grade Bronze Age keys (MP 15, HfH 1, etc.), a couple of random lower grade Golden Age books (including Sensation 66), or a group of romance books (including Baker, Cole, and a Lichtenstein key).

Whatever it is, I'll try and have the next group up some time tomorrow. 

Thanks everyone!

SOLD!

Lobo #1

2.5 - $100

In addition to what you can see in the pictures, the middle three wraps or so are detached from the staples. From my limited experience with this comic, it seems to be a pretty common defect. Book is complete though. 

Journey Into Mystery #103

3.5 - $300

There's a small spine split at the bottom, though it's just slightly off the spine itself so it's a little more like a tear I guess. 

Colors are great for the grade!

A couple small water spots on lower fc, some slight water damage ripples middle right edge bc.

Journey Into Mystery #89

Sold via pm

Tomb of Dracula #1

Sold via pm

Wow Comics #38

6.0 - $1400 shipped

First, for this book, I'd prefer to be paid by check rather than PayPal. 

I bought this here on the boards about nine years ago. The boardie who sold it to me had it at a 6.5, I'm going to say 6.0 to be conservative. It has slight tanning. Small patch of paper loss back cover. 

A copy that was around a 4.5 sold a little while ago on ebay for around $830. Prior to that, another copy that was much lower grade, a 2.5 with terribly rusty staples, also sold for about the same price. I'm going with my gut as this is an all-time classic that you don't see all that often. 

 

SOLD per PM.

SOLD

Ghost Rider #1

5.5 (?) - $475

This is a really nice copy of Ghost Rider #1 from 1973. It looks and feels like an 8.0. However, it has three small pin holes above the logo, in "supernatural superhero." This makes it a little hard to grade, but fot technical reasons I'm going to knock it down to a 5.5 and price it accordingly. You won't see a nicer looking copy in this range!

1.    in thread trumps PM conversations.

2. In the case of multiple PMs, or take its, I will go by time stamp. 

3. no HoS/probation people please. I'm Crimebuster, not Crimeenabler

4. shipping is FREE to the U.S., or $25 to Canada. Any import fees to Canada to be paid by the recipient. I wish this was easier, but they have made things real messy to ship up to Canada. 

5. Paypal for books under $1k - check for books over $1k

6. please pay promptly, I have a crimefighting monkey sidekick to feed

7. If there's any kind of issue with the books, let me know within one week of receiving it and we can figure out some kind of return. But I don't anticipate any issues!

Okay, closing this up and off to the bay. Thanks everyone!

10% off anything remaining. 

I'll leave this up until tomorrow before I send it to the bay.

New Mutants #87 - CGC 9.6 - $230 SHIPPED

 

90 day GPA is $252

1 year GPA is $281

Last sale was $270

 

There are no graders notes on this book.

But the flaw that makes it a 9.6 rather than a 9.8 is pretty obvious. There's a very small corner crunch bottom spine with attendant spine tick. A press should remove the crunch, but not the tick. Whether it could get a higher grade with the bend gone... your guess is as good as mine.

I took a super close up of the tick, so close that it looks like a massive chasm. But it's doesn't look that bad in hand. 

 

SOLD per PM.

I’ll take this set if it’s still available. 

That's it for now!

Buy some cool books, and support your local indie comic creator! 

Late Run Barbie Lot - $50

This is a lot of 4 late run barbie issues: Barbie #60, Barbie #62, and Barbie Fashion #52 and #53.

The Barbie Fashion #53 is a newsstand, and is around a 7.0 due to a small stain on the bc. The others are nicer, around 8.5/9.0.

Hard to find, low print run issues, especially hard to find in nice condition since most of the buyers weren't collectors, but little girls.

If you want me to break up the lot, PM me and we can discuss. I'd prefer to sell as a group though. 

X-Men #244 - 9.0 - $45 SHIPPED

This is a nice copy of Jubilee's first appearance. It has a slight stacking roll near the spine, so let's call it a 9.0.
