The only one on the list that I don't have and wouldn't mind getting is #24. But I doubt I want it bad enough to pay the price it brings any more. The only #26 I've ever seen, I bought. I don't have a #22 so this will probably have to do.

This book is such a great item! Valuable as it is, it's underrated with 22 and 24 inside and its own great cover. Got sniped on one on eBay a while back and haven't seen it since...not that any o' guys are my suspects or anything like that...  

This thread is almost down to the third page, so I will drop in this one because it landed on my doorstep a couple days ago...crazy busy with work since Thursday a.m. But catching up now...

Nothing like you guys added, but this hit the doorstep a couple days ago

Just arrived from CGC, presents so much better than the assigned grade but I shouldn't complain - very scarce book, and a pedigree (Big Apple) to boot.  

 

And a couple of holy craps to you too, Sacentaur...this and the Hit Trolley

An exceptional copy. Going off to Sarasota. Unless there is some "invisible" stain I think 7.5 to 8.0. 

 

Holy , Rick! Congrats!

the back cover is nice too...im not sure what exactly they were grading but im thinking about sending for press/regrade. I know it has CVA but honestly thats not a huge deal to me. The spine has some spidery wear but its light and the cover is flat with good edges and great color/centering from all i can see. Ive seen a lot of 5.0's and even one of this book this on every level looked better than.

 

In the end i probably wont, its really just for me and my 10 key collection.

Good for you! You're happy and that's what's important. I don't know that I would put more $$ into it either with CPR; just saying it's probably a safe bet of at least a 50/50 shot of coming back higher on a resubmit. It's all very subjective and lots of books (NOT suggesting a majority) the grade can be argued convincingly up (or down in some cases) a bit.

10 keys? Skipping who, Sgt Fury and DD? Or ASM #1 (as a non-first app key)?

Anything unsold, take 15% off! PM's also welcome. Freebie remains onboard for every purchaser.

I will close this thread out Monday a.m.; full weekend to take advantage of sale/make offers should be sufficient. Thanks again to all for looking!

Very impressive colors for the grade.  Excellent buy!

Congrats! Awesome pick-up!

Why can't we just say that maybe they blew the call on this one (graded too low)? I know we can't be sure because it is in the slab but geez it's at least worth acknowledging. Congrats again!

My gut, no-think answer

Ok, that's all the books I plan to post to this thread. I will leave it open for a few days before closing. Thanks to everyone who looked and/or purchased. Remember, there's a freebie on board for every purchaser, and PM's are always welcome.

Thanks fellow boardies! 

Finally, a Don Maris reprint -- Uncle Sam Quarterly #1. This one's in the same boat as the CMA #1; Fine plus for same reasons. Same price. $15.

Next, Alan Light Flashback of Captain Marvel Adventures #1. I'll go Fine plus here, as some of the blue cover ink is lightly abraded (left side, near staples) but it's generally flat, clean and bright. $15.

First up, an Alan Light Flashback of All-Winners #1. VF. $15.

Final three offerings for this thread posting now...

Marvel Captain to MLJ Sergeant

Old Captain Wizard to Captain and old wizard

Remember, PM's are also welcome, and there's now a freebie on the table. Thanks for looking! 

Last romance offering...I Love You #114. This one IS called out in the guide as a psychedelic cover. Also has art by Alascia inside. Presents really well, flat and bright, but I will call it a notch below the first three Charltons I offered and label it F/VF as there's that dunched upper left corner, front and back, and some more visible spine stresses. Probably pressable and would look awesome in a slab. Only two copies on eBay are low-grade. $20.

Next up, Sweethearts #119...cover story "Men are Unessential." Strange stain-looking tanning (is it a stain?) has overtaken most of back cover but book presents nicely as a mid-grade from front. Not sure what actual grade to assign; I saw a Crime Reporter #1 once with the same flaw; first and only other time I had seen this. I didn't buy it, but that book was about thirty times as much. $10.
