    That’s it for tonight but there’s at least two dozen of these coming. I just wanted to force myself to get started. It’s a hard one to get going on.

    A word of background — I knew the late Marvel/DC/Dark Horse inker Dan Green, and bought a lot of material from him over the years. At some point after he had sold all his art, I bought all his production copies that were around. (Dan was no longer working.) I will share them in two threads; the first one will be what I think are production proofs for corrections, as they are 8-1/2x11 copies of inked pages being sent to the inker. Most of these I have as full books and will offer them this way. After this thread, though maybe not immediately after, I will offer the copies that are OA-sized, but I need to find a reasonably priced way to ship them. Again, if they qualify for Media Mail, it gets a lot easier. Many of those are copies of uninked pencils, probably as references for Dan as he inked the actuals. (In some cases, I guess he could have used them to ink from a lightbox, if the penciler was intent on keeping uninked pencils.) Anyway, that’s what this thread will be, why I have them, and why I’m sharing them. They are neat artifacts of the production process.

    5 Simple Rules (Please, please read) 1st wins; tie/indeterminate goes to the thread. Payment is Check or Money Order (yeah, yeah I know I'm a dinosaur, troglodyte, luddite, mennonite, hermaphrodite etc. - I just don't have or want e-payments.) Shipping: Via USPS Priority is $10. BUT spend $50 or more and shipping is free within U.S. (Canada gets adjusted for actual; will determine a comparable level above which shipping will be free). These may even qualify for Media Mail I will inquire and add the option if so. Don't be listy including the little one in my head. Returns: Sure, just notify me within three days of receipt and get it back to me in the same shape on your dime, except no returns on graded books. (Kudos thread linked under my avatar.)

    I’ve got to keep coming back to Robin as the grand-daddy of this ridiculous, tedious concept. Really, is there a worse sidekick among Robin or Bucky or Sandy or Snapper Carr or Rick Jones? The best “sidekicks” are the strongest supporting characters, such as Jimmy Olsen or Rhodey or Rick Jones as elevated by Peter David. So I’ve got to go with Robin for his widespread influence in his field of sidekickery. He’s the Beatles of the concept — you don’t have to like him (or them) but you’ve got to admit he/they had a lot of influence.

    I guess this is the place for these…Marvel inker Dan Green was a big fan of Esteban Maroto, and I got these from his collection…the page is from Creepy #88, a story titled “Iron Man,” which Maroto both penciled and inked.

    I’m more in the 5.5 camp than the 5.0, by a fair margin. I mean, who the heck knows what comes out of the sausage grinder, but if it’s me hemming and hawing before posting it for sale, I lowball myself at first at 5.0 and go nah it’s better than that, then I think it’s awful close to 6.0 but decide there’s just a smidge too much evident wear on the borders, and the oil transfer is showing through the back a bit, so I post it at 5.5 and feel pretty good about standing behind that. That’s how I get there.

    You got me curious, and I have OSPG #8 (1978-1979) handy… both 31 and 33 are broken out from the run,…#31 at $525 in Mint, #33 at $900. (#27 was at $4200 in Mint. To broaden context, AF 15 was at $360 and Hulk 181, also broken out, was at $1.20, both in Mint). #8 is the OSPG with the Bill Ward cover with Torchy, Phantom Lady, Wonder Woman, Miss Fury etc.

    Let’s re-open. Price is firm as it’s an early direct market book (1979). Recent sales indicate the directs are fetching more than the newsies on this book.

    Take a table at a good local flea market and price aggressively? You might get somewhat more for the percentage you sell than what a dealer will pay for the whole thing. Then, with an appreciation for what it took to achieve retail fmv across those books you moved, blow the rest out to a dealer real cheap and still be ahead of the single “sell in one shot” number. You’re in L.A., it’s mostly Spidey. Start out 25% below conservative retail pricing, make bulk deals for buyers who ask, and you may still come out ahead. Chances are you could wholesale the remainder to another vendor late in the afternoon and not have to finder a comics dealer for the remainder. The flea market generalist vendor crowd usually has members who like to have comics in inventory, especially if they can flat-price a recognizable character cheap (ie - $3 each, etc)
