    I collect a lot of Cole, and I've never come across a Popular Teenagers 22. I think the Top Love 18 has a great cover. I am guessing there would be more interest in these, but they are so seldom seen that most collectors are unaware of them?

    Take
  3. thewritestuff
    Nice copy! It looks MUCH nicer than mine!

    Other than a bad case of envy, I enjoyed seeing your posts😂 I feel as though you share a passion and appreciation for Cole’s art, which is a good thing, right? Maybe you could make a disclaimer to let other boardies know if you are posting scans of your faves vs. your personal copies?

    I was going to say, some of those look off-the-charts MINT.
  6. thewritestuff
    Take if available
  7. thewritestuff
    Take, if still available

    These are all amazing, but H and I are blowing my mind.

    I love this cover, but always thought of how cool it would be to see Death through the windshield from the driver's POV, sort of like the Ken Shannon zombie cover.

    I agree. After watching his earlier video, I wrote that he reminds me of Gilbert Gottfried because I thought Dylan’s on-camera persona was part of his schtick. I no longer feel this is the case, and regret commenting. All joking aside, I think there are deeper issues here than we realize, and although I’m curious about the outcome of the story, I think the damage to two awesome comics—however it occurred—is punishment enough without being publicly humiliated and cyber bullied to the point this kid might actually want to hurt himself.

    Is anyone else getting a strong Gilbert Gottfried vibe from this fellow?

    Thanks to anyone who took the time to browse, inquire, and/or make an offer. I sold some other stuff on another venue, so I don't really need to let these go anymore.

    Depending on how things go, here are some of the other items I *might* be listing for sale later...

    Here we have a couple of classic L.B. Cole covers... Blue Bolt 108 is in Good condition. As you can see, the cover is attached (barely), there is a major spine split at the top and extensive spine wear. Nevertheless, it "presents nicely", as folks are fond of saying these days, although it needs to be handled with care! Dare I say... it would look good in a slab! A respectable-looking copy, save for the spine. We also have a nice presenting copy of Criminals on the Run, featuring a fantastic shark cover. I guess this one is G/VG- due to rusty staples, some rust migration, and moisture damage. Again, a respectable looking copy, with most of the damage on the back cover. I'm going to start this pair at $600 and see what happens.
  15. thewritestuff
    That'll do it for now. I may add more later, depending on how it goes...

    Here is a precode comic I love, The Unseen 12, featuring an awesome cover by Nick Cardy as well as a very cool ghost story titled "The Helmsman". This one does not seem to come up often. Also, Out of the Shadows 7, featuring the story "The Plant of Doom, as well as a classic corpse cover (how's that for alliteration?). Both are in VG with obvious defects. I don't really want to sell these, so this will be the only price cut. $800. $700 firm.

    What's better than two Baker covers? How about THREE? I made a modest adjustment to the original price, but I am also adding a nice copy of Approved Comics 12/ Northwest Mounties in solid, respectable looking VG. Authentic Police Cases #29 in Fine/VF-, and Approved Comics/Western Bandit Trails #9 in VG (looks nicer, but there is a piece out of the back cover, and what looks to be an erasure? mark on the front. Take the Baker trio for $800.

    Next up we have two wartime comics, Camera Comics 2 and 8, both in the Fine range. These are very cool, mid-1940s comics (1944 and 1946, respectively) feature a mix of comic art and actual wartime photographs. Issue #2 only has 11 on the census, while issue 8 has a measly two copies graded! Nice PQ for 1940s comics! $700. TAKE THESE TWO RARE COMICS FOR $600.
  19. thewritestuff
    Thank you! I will make the necessary adjustments.

    I've gotten a couple nibbles, let's see if I can get a few real bites. I'm going to add some books and make some price cuts. I'm only going to leave this thread open until midnight tonight, then I will tuck most of these back in the pc and possibly auction a few... A well-respected boardie asked if I make bundle deals, and the answer is yes! If you are interested in multiple items, feel free to pm an offer. Thanks for looking! Here’s the fine print: CONUS only, unless we have agreed on other arrangements ahead of time. No PL/Hall of Shamers, or probies. The first “Take” wins. A definite "I'll take it" in the thread trumps pending negotiations. I'm sure most of you know the routine. Please review photos carefully and ask any questions beforehand. I will accept checks, or Paypal. Anything over $1,000 MUST be paid by check. Payments must be made within 7 days or the item goes back up for sale. If you have been nominated for probation for non-payment in the past, I will require immediate payment. SHIPPING: Unless a different method is agreed upon beforehand, shipping in the CONUS will be USPS Priority $20 for raw or graded books with both insurance and signature required. For bundle deals, we will have to work out something on shipping ahead of time. Again, U.S. only unless we talk first. Returns are fine within 7 days of receipt for raw books, but Buyer must cover return costs, and items must be returned in their original condition. Most of the comics will be sold in pairs, as shown. First up, we have a nice, uh, pair... of Cowgirl Romances from Fiction House, both in the Fine range. Issue #12 is a Canadian variant (last I checked, I could not find a copy on the census), and #7 (only 7 on census) features an eye-popping taillight cover. $850 FOR THE PAIR. KNOCK A $100 OFF THE TOP… $750 FOR TWO LOVELY COWGIRLS.

    Shop smart. Shop S-Mart.
  23. thewritestuff
    I gotta add this to my list!😁
  24. thewritestuff
    Same here. I’d rather buy new comics and keep them looking great in Gerber Mylites than look at this mess... that book looks freakin horrible

    I recently emailed DTA through eBay to see if he was aware of the other seller listing the same item. He said he has a contract with the other seller? I’m guessing it’s a win-win for the DTA. If an unaware buyer sees the lower listing (not realizing the higher priced listing is the exact same book) maybe they will jump on the lower listing, thinking they got a great deal. If by some chance a buyer purchases the higher priced listing, the other guy makes a commission and DTA still gets his desired price, but the buyer is unaware he/she paid extra for a commission.
