Last of the CMJ's coming up, and last until tomorrow. Thanks for the purchases, folks! I will update with a start time for tomorrow for anyone who wants to tag along.

Captain Marvel, Jr. #53, 4.0, A-bomb cover, serious spine roll, $135.00 SOLD! This sought-after nuclear explosion cover is difficult to find in nice condition. This one presents well enough but has accumulated wear and a bad spine roll that knocks the grade down. Still, it's a hot cover. Get it. Hot. Radiation.

Captain Marvel, Jr. #46, 6.5, quite miscut, $100.00 SOLD! to William-James88 I was so confused when I first saw the scan of this, but examine the two scans and you can see that this was cut in the factory at a really weird angle. Still, it's another pretty copy of a pretty cover.

Captain Marvel, Jr. #45, 7.0, horiz printer's crease, $130.00 SOLD! to bounty_coder A pretty copy of a black cover. Jr. fights a lot of crusty old men, it seems.

G.I. Combat #46, 4.0, c-Kubert, signed Kubert (no COA), Kubert collection (COA included), $200.00 SOLD! to bounty_coder To my understanding, this sought-after underwater cover is Kubert's first cover work for the series. DC took over from Quality Publications with issue 44, and Grandanetti did the first two covers. Then here comes Kubert, at the start of an amazing run of war covers that lasted decades. This comic has a lot of wear, most evident on the back cover. The front cover looks sharp but has a lot of wear that doesn't scan well. Still, it's a one of a kind. I don't know if Kubert really signed this. I do have the COA for the Kubert collection. In my heart, I believe he signed it.

Yes, next.

One thing I like about early Kubert covers is his cover signature. He used a different style in this period than he did once he was working in the silver age and beyond.

Nightmare #12, 6.0, CGC Universal label included, another grotesque Kubert cover, $205 SOLD to brumil190 This one comes up for sale more often, in my experience, though finding this in high grade is just as difficult as the #10 in high grade. This is a quite nice mid-grade copy. I removed it from its blue label slab but will include the label. I actually prefer this cover to the #10 and to me issue #12 feels undervalued.

I'm going to do the Kuberts now, and then list the remaining CMJs.

Why don't you message me any more?

Make that 30m, going to walk the dog and let mom and son duke it over the tub. I'm happy to entertain reasonable offers. Raboy covers tend to move pretty fast around here, so no low balls please.

Okay back in ~20m. Need to get kid into the tub.

I'm pausing the listings to clean up the thread a bit. Thanks to everyone who's looked! I have 4 more CMJ's to list and a few Kubert covers. After that I may do some more digging as I have a dollar goal that I want to raise, which means letting go of some issues and copies I really love.

Captain Marvel, Jr. #24, 5.0, Raboy-c, centerfold and cover secure, book length vertical crease on front cover, $150.00 NFS This one is super tough to let go. I love these GA hero covers that have some crossover with Americana and children's literature. This one is just so good. The vertical crease runs from the top edge, neatly bisecting the "C" in "Captain", down to the bottom edge. The bend goes into the interior for at least 4 or 5 page. It's much like a subscription crease, but probably got something heavy put on top of it that grabbed the page and folded it. Even so, it's a very nice cover. It's probably my favorite that I own, and I've priced it somewhat aggressively.

Captain Marvel, Jr. #23, 3.0, Raboy-c, $105 SOLD to William-James88 This one is a bit of a mystery to me. There's a piece of tape, old brown tape, beneath the centerfold. The centerfold isn't torn, and the staple is secure. My hypothesis is that someone separated the staple from the pages, added the piece of tape, restored the staple to its place, and reassembled the comic. The staple looks original to me. I attached some images for you to see what I mean. One image is of the centerfold, where you'll see the outline of the tape showing through. The other image is the back of the centerfold, where the tape is attached.

Captain Marvel, Jr., #18, 6.0, Raboy-c, $215.00 SOLD TO bounty_coder Another big fave of mine. This one is hard to let go.

Captain Marvel, Jr. #12, 3.0, Raboy-c, centerfold secure, cover attached but at risk, $125.00 SOLD! to William-James88 Wreckage makes Jr. feel serene, doesn't it? Rough spine, scribbling at the top. Beat but complete.

Captain Marvel Jr. #11, 6.0, Raboy-c, secure cover and centerfold, asking $215.00 SOLD to bounty_coder A really fun war scene where Jr. appears happy as a lark flying his motorcycle with side-car through the air, leaving behind the wreckage of enemy planes. This is one of my favorite Raboy covers that I own. Generally, I like all his airborne covers in this series.

Master Comics 47, Raboy cover, 7.0, $250. Asking what I paid. SOLD TO bounty_coder

~15m to boot!

I'll be back around 7:00 CST.

Of the two Nightmare covers by Kubert, Nightmare #10 one took me longer to find. From what I understand it's the harder of the two to locate, and that's reflected in the price of every copy I've seen for sale. It took me two years to find a copy that I liked and could afford. Here's a nice 5.5 with strong colors and a front cover in quite nice condition considering the grade. The top staple is attached but at risk. This comes with a 5.5 CGC Universal label; I cracked this out after buying it from a boardie. It's a grotesque scene where a fiendish old man works on some kind of skin mask. $400

Now that my wife and I have decided to home school our kid this academic year, we have home projects big and small to address. To further our domestic ends and preserve our savings during a time of pandemic, I'm selling off some of my most treasured comics. Unlike my Last Gasp Comic Shop sales threads, these books aren't being sold at rock bottom prices. I'm at or above what I understand to be FMV on these. You will see some affordable, attractive Raboy Captain Marvel, Jr. comics, two PCH Kubert horror comics, and a Kubert key signed by Kubert (purportedly) with a COA that this copy is from his personal collection. For now, I'm going to list one comic. I'll be back in about 1.5 hours and will start listing. EDIT: Here's a recap posted 07 AUG 2020, about 9:20p CST. Here's how I'll try discounts this time. Below you will see a list of which comics remain. This list includes a discounted price that becomes active tomorrow, Saturday, 08 AUG 2020, at 12:00p EST. Once we reach noon eastern, the comic becomes available at the discounted price. Any near-simultaneous 's will be resolved with whichever reply is first printed by the message board software. All comics remain available via PM deals as well, both before and after the discount takes effect. RECAP Page 1 Nightmare #10, 5.5 with Universal CGC label, $400, discounted to $325 (my original cost; hey, you can't fault me for trying)

Who can buy? Anyone not on the Probation List or the Hall of Shame can buy. Even so, I reserve the right to refuse sale to anyone. How do you pay? I accept PayPal Goods and Services or Zelle. If we've done business or you're a regular here in sales, I'm happy to take a check. If you're uncertain if pay-by-check is available to you, just PM and ask. Can you make a return? I won't take a return due to buyer's remorse. If now is a bad time for you to make a purchase, don't push that bad timing onto me. Otherwise, you need to let me know within five (5) calendar days of receiving the book, as indicated by USPS tracking. How do I ship and what does it cost? I will ship via USPS Priority. I will take a collector's care with packaging your comic. Shipping is $10 for any number of raws, $15 for any number of slabs (or slabs combined with raws). I ship in Gemini mailers or Priority boxes, no envelopes. What else do you need to know? Payment is expected within 3 days of me invoicing you, else I reserve the right to relist the comic. in the thread trumps PM negotiations. You need to post a here whether buying a comic at the asking price or negotiating via PM. Kudos It's embarrassingly long from my manic buying and selling days, but here it is.
