Hello,
First off, let me say that I am so happy to have found these chat boards... I am learning so much and appreciate all of the help I have received so far.
With that being said, I thought it only right to come here and get a "second opinion" on a group of books I just returned from viewing.
I have been trying to connect with a seller who has roughly 125 GA books dated between 1943 through 1954. Finally, she had some free time and I saw them today ? I went with the assumption that the books would probably average 4.0. For the most part, I wasn't wrong...
Here is a list of what she has:
Fight 1952 82
Ghost 1953 8
Jungle 1944 59 – 60 – 61 – 62 – 63 – 64 - 65 1945 66 – 68 – 69 – 70 – 71 – 72 1946 73- 74 – 75 – 76 – 77 – 78 – 79 – 81 – 82 – 83 - 84 1947 86 – 87 – 88 – 89 – 90 – 90 – 92 – 93 -95 1948 97 – 102 1951 143 1952 146 – 147 – 149 - 150 1953 154 – 157 – 158 1954 162 – 163
Jumbo 1944 69 1945 71 - 73 – 74 – 75 – 76 – 77 - 78 – 79 – 80 – 81- 82 - 83 1946 84 - 85 – 86 – 87 - 88 – 89 – 90 – 91 – 92 – 93 - 94 1947 95 – 96 - 98 x2 – 99 – 100 – 101- 102 – 104 – 105 – 106 - 1948 107 1952 155 - 160
Planet 1953 71
Ranger 1948 39 1952 66
Sheena 1952 14
Tarzan 1951 25 – 26 - 27 1952 28 – 29 – 30 – 31 – 32 – 33 – 34 – 36 1953 42 – 43 – 44 - 51 1954 52 – 53 – 54 – 55 – 56 – 58 – 62 – 63 1955 64 – 65 – 67 – 69 – 73 – 74 – 75 1956 76
Wings 1948 89 1951 115 1953 119
I was REALLY HOPING the the Ghost, Planet and Wings would be in nice condition. Unfortunately, they were average VG (give or take).
Out of the group, there were about 7-10% Canadian Editions, 50% VG, 15% VG+ - F, 15% F+ or better and about 15% VF OR BETTER!
There were some Jungle and Jumbo's that looked like they were printed yesterday! A LOT of white pagers as well ?
With all that being said, I need some HELP! This is my first time purchasing comics like these in a group and I want to get them... My plan would be to spread them around and flip most of them to recoup my funds put out for purchase. I'd like to keep the majority of the best copies for my personal collection.
So I ask; at what price per book would be a GREAT DEAL and what would be a MAX per book in order to accomplish what I'd like to do???
I know it is not the easiest to answer sight unseen, but with info provided, I believe the knowledge here can help me out. At least I am hoping to get some help...
I am planning to go back and purchase ASAP if tthe numbers work.
Thanks so much for any help provided
