First up, Shadow Comics vol. 1 #11 (July 1941). I'll say Good minus as its complete but has a variety of ailments including ink blots on the cover, a taped spine, some paper loss on cover, a stack roll, rusted top staple, various bends and wear to some pages. But an overall bright, clean and best of all supple interior, with the origin of the Hooded Wasp and Wasplet retold, a human sacrifice scene, and a Dead End Kids story. 8 on the census. (WAS $150) NOW $90

Ok, these next two are low grade but complete, with supple pages and very few comps out there....

SOLD! Little Orphan Annie Popped Wheat giveaway (1947) These all-paper ones are tough to grade but I'd say it's approaching VF with that upper left back cover corner maybe holding it back. $10

SOLD! Here's a cool bronze book that is unique in this collection, Night Nurse #3 in Fine, $40

SOLD! This one's listed as scarce in Overstreet ... Benjamin Franklin 5-10 Store Giveaway (containing #65). Looks GD- to me with inside FC tape repair to a tear. Grab Ricky Hampton's copy for $20.

This is the back cover of #35 in the Marvel Classics Comics run, Alice in Wonderland. You get it as part of the above, of course. It's just too cool not to show you. (Only issue in the run without a "next issue" ad a la the Classics Comics originals...cool touch)

ON HOLD! For a great and legendary boardie of discerning taste! When I tell you this guy was a Classics completist in intention, I mean it.... First up, how about a taste of bronze with a full set (1-36) of Marvel Classics Comics? I'd say average grade is VF, with a couple outliers higher and a couple maybe FVF range. (WAS $100) for the complete run. NOW $75

Everything prior to this post constitutes Round One. Round Two (just a few tonight; early day tomorrow) begins right now....

Hiya Michael! Thanks for asking about this. Thus far, I have one original #32 and its on my keeper list (which overall won't be too huge) but... I have several copies of #32 including early editions, and will make all others available. I also have more sorting to do (which is why I say thus far about an original 32) and already have sorted and identified four full boxes of line-drawn covers, many originals, and I cannot keep them all. There is NOT a full set (1-80) or original line-drawns, so I will keep a few faves only, but many will be made available.

More tomorrow, from Bronze Age to vol #1 (1941 issues) Shadow Comics....and eventually we'll even get to Classics....did I mention there's even a boatload of foreign editions in here???? Time to sort more....

SOLD! Mr. District Attorney #1 in VG. Note tape on cover lower left. Howard Purcell cover, 14 on census. (WAS $150) NOW $100

Sorry to be slow, some of these are not easy to get comps on. Stay tuned for a cool one next...

Gang Busters #35 VG $5

Here's a Dell Giant from 1963... Universal Pictures presents Dracula, the Mummy & Other Stories. VG $15

Red Ryder #118 VG+ $5

Bobby Benson's B-Bar-B #7 VG- (WAS $15) NOW $10

Tales from the Great Book #2 VG, manufactured without a bottom staple. (WAS $15) NOW $10

Dobie Gillis 3! Thank you AnkurJ!

Don Winslow #52 in Fair. This one's rough with a one inch tear through the book on the right side, at the ghost's elbow. But it's a great cover. $20

SOLD! Dobie Gillis #3 in VG- with 1" lower spine split, top staple detached at cover. On the plus side, more cheesecake than Junior's of Brooklyn. $7

Don Winslow #51 in GD, on overall wear. Note small hole punch bottom of back cover. Great Don in bondage/Singapore Sal cover. $30

First up is a silver cheesecake cover, Adventures of Jerry Lewis #76 in FN/FN-. Let's say (WAS $15) NOW $10

A word about what's to come: Some of you may have seen my recent posts about acquiring a 16-box estate collection that is perhaps 80% Classics Comics/Classics Illustrated -- I will be parsing for a while; this guy seemed to be shooting for every HRN of all 169 issues, and he came close! We ARE NOT starting with classics as it was easiest to sort the other 20% and choose those keepers and sharers first. So we are starting tonight with some of the random Gold and Silver from this collection. (The non-CI 20% ranges from GA to Copper! We will see GSB in this thread over time.) With regard to Classics, if you need any for a set, PM me and I will try to help as I sort. I am trying to separate originals from later HRNs and line-drawn covers from painted covers. My interests for keepers lie among the line-drawn original editions, but not all of them. Okay, on to the rest of this very cool collection; 10 books coming up!

Hi everyone, Details on what's to come in post #2, but there's 10 books (Gold and a couple silver) ready to get us started. But first... 1) Payment is money order or check; I do not have Paypal. 2) Shipping U.S. Or Canada is actual; in U.S., (I will do a single book first class at $5, a few books priority at $7; if they are more than I can fit in a flip n ship mailer inserted in a legal size priority envelope, we move to a region B box or medium priority box) 3) Returns -- Sure; just notify me within days of receipt and get them back on your dime looking the same. 4) First in thread wins 5) Don't be listy including the little one in my head.

for a price drop -- $75 shipped within U.S., OBO PM's of course welcomed/encouraged as well!
