A couple books for sale. Below are the rulz. 

1. PayPal or certified check only.

2. First unconditional claim posted in the sales thread wins the book. A post in the thread takes precedence over any PM sale that might be agreed to but not yet posted to the sales thread.

3. Shipping within the US included. Canada, UK or Australia, please inquire. I'll follow your directions, within reason, but shipping not included. 

4. Insurance not included. Let's chat through what you need before we finalize price and you send payment. 

5. All books are slabbed by CGC. You know what you're getting. No returns, as a result. 

6. I'd be open to time payments, as many kind boardies have provided me with same. 

7. No HOS or probation boardies. I also reserve the right to refuse to sell to anyone for any reason. 

Sorry, in advance, for the glare. All pics from my phone.

I am a straight-shooter. I've been on the boards for several years - doing decent sized transactions without hassle. Happy to provide references, if you need. My kudos thread is referenced in my signature, if needed.

I have books pressed. Not all, but a fair number, and I don't track it well. Just assume a book is pressed when you snag it.

Did it have an overhang?  I think I have seen X-Mas slabbed books before.  

Nope, no overhang. Maybe the could in the old holders but can't in the current ones? Don't know.

1. Buy stuff for less than it's worth

2. Sell stuff for more than it's worth...

Kidding!

 

1. Maybe flip a couple of books in my collection that I like, for a book that I love (like another Okajima)

2. Try to reclaim Top Registry set for my Space Adventures so I can keep my streak alive. 

3. Finally buy a Schomburg WW2 cover comic...

4. Continue to hunt for original art from Green Lantern 159 (my first Lantern comic) and gently prod the one guy I know who has pages that aren't mine to try to get him to sell to me...

#2 could be a tough goal!

The contents may have been consistent from one year to the next.  The first year of gift according to Rick in Slam Bang 2 contained:

Captain Marvel 5

Bulletman 4

Ibis 1

Wow 5

Whiz 26

There isn't a year between the issues which would make me think it is a random group but I don't have any info to say for sure.  I only saw one other issue of Gift 2 and it was the same as mine.

 

I’m surprised to see the Gift Comics in a holder. CGC said they couldn’t slab my X-Mas, and I think they’re the same size. Hmm.

Great copy of #5! I always felt the 4 was really tough, perhaps the toughest, but then a spate of copies showed up which changed my mind. Once they disappeared, ain't seen that one again. Cycles. All the Darings are tough for sure except for the 6 & 7. In terms of Mystic, I may be wrong on this, but I'm finding (aside from the Destroyer issues 6-10 which are all tough), the #3 seems to pop up the least.         

Yeah, all the Mystics are pretty tough. I might put #2 at the top and #4 above #3. #10 also challenging, from the Destroyer batch. I know there are Timely scholars here who can opine with more precision/basis, however.

Very nice copy of the 3! I think the 5 is the next difficult to find. I've seen 1,2,4, and 8 for sale occasionally. 3 and 5 rarely. The 6 and 7 seem to always be readily available for purchase.   

Yeah, #5 is tough too, but I might put #4 ahead of it and #3. Daring 1-5 are so, so cool. I love that title. Saw this #5 on the CLink Exchange some time ago. Had to jump.

Piggybacking on @MrBedrock‘s Daring 4, issue #3 isn’t easy either. Picked this up here on the boards several years back. Why the Purple Mask doesn’t have his own movie already is something I don’t understand....

Insane. Such a tough book in any grade. Soooo beautiful.

Thread is closed. Books no longer for sale. Thanks for looking and merry Christmas.

Made some price reductions. Will leave this thread up through Christmas eve night. Thanks, all.

Adding another...

No risk there. I graded it and priced it as trimmed.  If that book was not trimmed it would be about $800.00

I’d say more, w/o trim. I hunt Franks with some focus (check Registry). That’s an awfully, awfully tough book above VG/FN.

It happened but you are not in risk of owning the trimmed book.

Not too concerned about that. Trimmed copy would have been swell. Could live with that.
