Hi all, For the last few weeks I have had a thread up offering mostly Classics and related material, from a 16-box estate collection that was maybe 85% Classic Comics/Classics Illustrated. Rather than run one long, confusing (to me!) thread for everything. I am willing to share from that collection, I am trying to share in focused threads, for those who might not be interested in everything coming to the board from this sizable collection. So here is round two, about half a short box of various Silver age Superman titles. But first, First in thread wins Payment: Checks or money orders (I don't have PayPal) Shipping: USPS Priority $7 for as many can fit in a legal size priority envelope, inside a flip n ship mailer. Single books can ship first class at $5. If we're over the legal envelope capacity, books move to a Regional box or medium Priority box (est. $10-$13.65). Returns: Sure, just notify me within three days of receipt and get them back on your dime in the same shape for a purchase price refund. Don't be listy including the little one in my head. Ready? Up, up and away!

A wrap-up and an announcement: I have finally closed my thread that constitutes Round One of Sharing an Estate Collection (lots of Classic Comics/Clasics Illustrated) and I am about to open (tonight in fact, if I can shoot a few) Round Two from this estate collection, featuring various Silver Age Superman titles, all raw and many but not all looking to be in pretty nice shape at first glance. That said, thanks to all takers; PM if you want to wrap up and we'll exchange info, but if you want to see what's coming and possibly combine shipping that's cool too. Thanks all! @Caff54 @PeterPark @davet75 @n2wdw @oceans11 @AnkurJ Some takers not recognized here have already expressed interest in riding thru the next round, which begins shortly with: Silver age superman titles

Beaver Valley to Bear Mountain

I would simply like to say, "Woowhoo!" Of course, I have to go out for the afternoon....

@Dreamtoreal1 you're active on there too, right?

PS - @jimjum12 I'm pretty sure you'll want to see this!

No, it deserves better than imprisonment. It deserves to remain free. Congrats on a cool find!

WTTB! What a debut sales thread!

Coffin to chokin'

Based on this post, I'd say it DID turn out to be worth a fortune for you. Great memory, great story!

C.I. #99 HRN 169 Hamlet! Thank you Comicnoir!

Classics Illustrated #'s 50 HRN 51 (version 1B) and 43 HRN 62 are on hold for a wise and discerning boardie of exceedingly renowned taste!

Closing Tomorrow! The "Post of Demarcation" is on page 8; anything unsold that is further back in the thread than that post is 15% off; PM's welcome too! After closing, takers can square up to get their books or hold off if the subsequent thread from this collection may be of interest. As to subsequent thread, if you have a strong preference among the following four categories, let me know: - Foreign edition classics illustrated - special issue classics illustrated - original edition li even-drawn covers - silver age Superman titles Thanks everyone!

Every issue of Classic Comics/Classics Illustrated that was used in SOTI or POP is now represented in this thread. I will leave this open another day or so -- weighing whether to add a couple more items to this final round from this particular collection -- but once I close it, takers will have the option of awaiting the next related thread before requesting their books. I don't want to hold anyone up by running this thread much longer as it would take months to get everything into it at the rate I am going, as this was a sizable 16-box collection. So instead, I will offer this collection in discrete subset threads. Next threads likely to be: original edition line-drawn covers, foreign editions, special issues, silver age Superman titles. If you are looking for original editions of any particular painted cover issues (#'s 81-169) just pm me as I am likely to have it but do not plan to list them all here. The only original from 81-up that I am sure I did not see is #95, All Quiet on the Western Front. Other than that, I can probably help you. I hope this thread has been fun even if you're not a Classics completist. Thanks all takers, lookers, PM'ers and, as always, PMs are welcome!

ON HOLD! Classics Illustrated #43 HRN 62 (2nd and final edition) used in SOTI pg. 311. Some pretty awesome interior pages show us why it made Wertham's list. I had a really hard time grading this one, as a non-color-breaking crease runs diagonally on the lower right front cover from approximately the redcoat's armpit to Kiefer's signature, and there's some dust shadow. I went with 5.5 in PM discussions and will stand with that, but it's otherwise flat and bright as 6.5-7.0 range. Copies on eBay are priced crazily even for this one, a tough and desirable issue from the run. Take it for $50.

Good things come to those who wait....

Classics illustrated #128 HRN 143 (2nd edition) Macbeth, used in POP, pg. 102. VG+ $5

SOLD! Classics illustrated #99 HRN 169 (8th and final edition) used in POP, pg. 102. This is the only edition with this particular cover. Fine; cool date stamp. $5

Classic Comics #10 HRN 14 (2nd edition, violet version, I think) used in SOTI, pg. 142. Beautiful copy, FN/FN+ $20.

Classic Comics #15 HRN 15 (2nd edition) Uncle Tom's Cabin, used in SOTI, pgs. 102&103. The book is laden with, ahem, explicit caricature (see below). Presents VG or better but I'm calling it good plus because someone colored in the price circle and added three unnecessary staples to a single staple book that is clearly secured well by its single original staple. A VG/FN sold on eBay for $47; when was the last time you saw a single-staple,SOTI book for $20?? Yes, take it for $20.
