Since the Gozirra was already done, here's my contribution:

That's amazing, saw this thread title and figured I'd be original and post this exact book with the big lizard playing at Kung Fu. Was going through boxes the other day and it caught my eye again. Here's the front of that Comic Reader just for giggles. Nice thinking, BEYONDER.

That should've been Skrull, of course, and nice timing Mr Kirby beating me to it !

Avengers 89 - 97. Often called "Kree Skull War." Or even better, Jim Starlin did the Warlock saga (ST 178-81, War. 9-15 and the two annuals and maybe the MTU), but before that he did his first cosmic saga in Capt. Marvel, a run from around 25-33.

I'm guessing the hardcover Origins is popular? What, the TPB not good enough for you people? And I think I still owe you Kudos, Kramerica, for the WBN 5 and Astonishing Tales 12 I bought from you back in March. Been busy, sorry pal. Sweet pair of books; just found and opened the package a couple of weeks back.

Adventures into the Unknown 112 - 3.5 OW $3 and this makes 4, take

Thor 223 - 8.0 OW $6 and this too, take

Amazing Spider-man King Size 5 - 4.0 OW $16 Marvel feature 6 - 6.5 OW $2 take please

^yeah, but your cost basis in the comics you sold (to calculate your gain in the first place) can be hard to document, especially for comics bought years earlier (original purchase price plus shipping etc). Documenting today's expenses (fees, postage, shipping supplies, bags/boards etc.) is comparatively easier because you have recent receipts. Though I agree about the 'fun' of deducting a portion of your overhead (allocate part of your home, climate control costs ...).

Yeah, I coined it, thanks for noticing MEB and William. [not Will, as I so carelessly referred to you that one time and got chastised ; )]

Ok, ya got me. claim please

Gorgeous Spideys, man.

Cool discount, please double my 1-book order. Astonishing Tales #12 FINE 6.0 $14.00 Take at 20%.

I'm kind of partial to including a rule "no flakes." Then you can just be subjective in how you apply the rule, and respond (or not) to complaints that you are arbitrary and capricious. ; ) Or as Basil Fawlty put it, "no riffraff." [edit - The only time I ever got nervous was a 1st-post-ever buyer taking two larger slabbed books including a WBN 32 - the man was echu, turned out over time was a frequent buyer and very welcome addition to the boards over past few years.]

Some well-earned kudos. @thirdgreenham Sent Andy a bunch of raw books, he submitted to CGC for me, smooth transaction, powerful service, super grading that I attribute as much to Andy as to the ceegcers. Nice discount, and great shipping (plus, ya know, a box covered in stamps), and you can see most of the fifteen or so newly slabbed when I get around to a new sales thread.

Mine. Thanks.

take pls

take please

Love your spidermans, Rick. Nice prices!

Wow, she was strapped to that table for a loong time. Nice books!

As ever, Rob, great grades & descriptions, great thread (and books I really like).

take please

Was about to 'checkout' but wondering, you got any more you'll be posting, pal?

Geez man, @ 15% it's too reasonable to pass up. Take please. Just need 92 and a real 83 to replace my GRR to complete a JIM-Thor run. : ) Thanks Warren!

I lived through that horrible transition as well. Simply a tragic time for all of us. Uggh. If it happened today one could reasonably predict a spike in shrink visits with collector-friendly therapists - but we were made of tougher stuff back then.
