Batman #250, 1973. Much better copy than the previous books. Some spine wear to note, but not a lot else. A bit of edge wear. 6.5ish. $18 **NOW $14**

Batman #249, 1973, This one has no sub-crease and a better spine, but a pretty significant wrinkle mid-cover (mostly to Batman's right) that covers several inches holds this one back to the same area. 5.5 on this one. $8 **NOW $6**

Batman #248, 1973. Another book in the same range. 5.0 due to the sub crease on back (bend front) and other assorted general wear. $8 **NOW $6**

Batman #247, 1973. Solid book with some minor wear. Sub crease (or reading crease?) on the back that only presents as a bend to the front, spine and edge wear. 5.0. $8 **NOW $6**

Batman #246, 1972. Adams cover. This one looks pretty solid from the front. A little bit of spine wear, minor surface wear, and a corner chip. However, on the back we have a pretty strong corner crease, and an edge tear at the top of at least 1". 6.0 from the front, but that tear drops it. Let's go 4.5. $12 **NOW $10**

Batman #245, 1972. Adams inside and out again. Reader copy with spine roll, creasing, indentions. Complete and attached. 3.0 range. $6

Batman #243, 1972. Adams cover. Would be high grade except for a book length bend that has some color loss to the front. On the front, it's just a bend. On the back, it's a non-color breaking crease. A press would help, but not eliminate. Otherwise, very minimal wear...a few small spine tics, a blunted corner or two, minor edge wear. I think it's 5.5 as it sits, but presents better. $38 NOW $30 **SOLD via PM to @HighRadArt**

Amazing Spider-Man #135, 1974. Very sharp copy. Structural condition is very nice. Here are the issues: distributor overspray that impacts front and back covers and interior, some edge wear to top cover, slight spine stress, back cover needs a cleaning and has a small marking in blue pen ink. MVS is intact, and without the distributor ink, it would probably be 8.0-8.5 range. Not sure how this much overspray impacts the VF range grade. $150 **SOLD via PM to @okcomicdad**

Amazing Spider-Man #212, 1981. 1st Hydro-Man. This book is CRYING for a press. Some spine wear that could be greatly improved, a couple indentions that don't break color. Probably 6.0 as it sits. $20 **NOW $18**

Not a lot of life recently, so let's try a couple Spidey and some Bat books to get something going... (Note: this is a rerun from a previous sales thread where I completely screwed up the sale by being ULTRA-slow in response) Amazing Spider-Man #122 (1973); CGC 6.5 OW-W. Top right corner of case has a crack with a couple plastic pieces inside. $350 ($90 discount to the 90-day avg for books with solid cases) NOW $325 **NOW $300!!**

Let's try something completely different. Elfquest Warp Graphics lot of #s 1 through 5. These are the 1978 series, but all have $1.50 cover prices. I believe this indicates later print runs. All are high grade, but have minor spine and edge wear. 8.5 or better on all to be safe. More pics available on request $60 **NOW $50**

I went through and applied more price cuts through the Astonishing run. I will get more cuts posted later. In the meantime, shoot me an offer...especially on multiple books. Price cuts now extended through JIUW listings.

Not a lot of interest in the Avengers books. I will move on to other things for now. If anyone has a desire for books from the 160 - 185 range, I have a majority of them in this stack. Some are pretty sharp, but most are 5.0-7.0.

Avengers #167, 1978. Solid copy, but enough general wear to get to the 5.0 range. GotG meet the Avengers. $7

Avengers #162, 1977. Solid, mid-grade copy with no major issues. A press would help, but calling it 7.0ish to be safe. Ultron cover. $15

Avengers #161, 1977, COPY B. Not nearly as nice as the other book. Maybe 4.5 with lots of general wear calling out a big corner crease on the front top right. $7

Avengers #161, 1977, COPY A. This is a sharp copy. There is a bit of spine wear, but pretty minimal. The white on the front has a TINY amount of color transfer/soiling. I think it's a 9.0. A clean and press has a chance to make this worth slabbing. $25

Avengers #160, 1977. Well, maybe the other book isn't trimmed. The back cover is basically the same here. So, I really don't know. This one is in that same 5.0 range until you get to the spine split up to the bottom staple. FREE with any purchase from this point forward. Must claim. One freebie per person.

Avengers #159, 1977. This one is basically the same, but it feels trimmed. I have no idea why (except for practice), but see the back for what was my first indication. Seems a fraction smaller than #160 that was next in the stack. FREE with any purchase to any buyer in this thread past/present/future. Must claim. This book can be an 2nd freebie for any buyer.

Avengers #158, 1977. This one is a bit better. Probably 6.0 range. Some spine wear including a tiny chip that is still attached (see back). 1st Graviton. $9

Avengers #157, 1977. Another 5.0 type book, a spot of foreign substance back cover, $5 stand alone, or FREE with any $20+ purchase from this point forward. MUST CLAIM. One freebie per person.

Avengers #150, 1976. Perez art, plenty of general wear again, including some staining bottom front cover. 5.0 range structurally, but i think 4.0 with the stain. $5 stand alone, or FREE with any $20+ purchase from this point forward. MUST CLAIM.

Avengers #142, 1975. Less general wear, but still just mid grade. Some color rubbing, spine wear, CF detached at bottom but firm at top. 6.0ish. $8
