New lower price for all four books.

Great pickup!

Here are two new ASM Annuals:

Amazing Spider-Man Annual #2 - CCG 6.5 from Cedar Chest Comics. Amazing Spider-Man Annual #3 - CGC 8.0 from an IG user. A much nicer copy of Strange Tales #105 from an IG user.

Prices reduced.

3.5 - 4.0

3.5

I think 5.0 would be more accurate.

+1

5.5 as is.

3.0 as is.

I figured that there wouldn't be a large crowd for the Heritage Auction that ended last night. So, I put in a bid on Tales of Suspense #45 CGC 4.5 and look what happened. Considering that a CGC 4.0 sold for $410 on 04/09/2023, this is a prime example of the adage, "It's better to be lucky than good!"

I thought that this was done to show that the Human Torch worked better as part of a team rather than by himself. Remember, he was still a teenager, and most teens are not known for their cognitive thinking abilities.

Buy all three books for $150 $125 $100 SHIPPED, plus receive this "beat but complete" copy of Strange Tales #105. SOLD to @rdp collectibles!

Daredevil Annual #1. Complete and all pages firmly attached. I'm calling it a G/VG, just to be safe. Asking price is $30 $20. SOLD to @rdp collectibles! Here are the issues as I see them: * Twelve water drops on front cover, one on the H in Here, six in the DAREDEVIL title, two on Electro, one on the Matador's cape, and one on the Matador's left arm. These drops don't affect the interior pages. * Five water drops on back cover, one large drop on the word KNOW, and a smaller drop on the letters PL, and three very small drops on the box of cards with the bells. These drops don't affect the interior pages. * Minor creasing at the bottom right-hand corner of the front cover. * Crease at bottom left-hand corner of the back cover, which affects several interior pages of the book. * Light foxing on the right-hand side of some pages. * I know that the cover is separated from the spine, but I think that is due to my poor picture-taking skills.

Amazing Spider-Man Annual #3. Complete and all pages firmly attached. I'm calling it a VG-, just to be safe. Asking price is $80 $67.50. SOLD to @rdp collectibles! Here are the issues as I see them: * Significant creasing along the spine of the front cover and back cover, but it doesn't affect any of the pages. * Multiple creases near bottom right-hand of cover, which also affect the first 2 pages of the book. * Fraying at the top and bottom of the spine. * A crease that looks like a subscription crease, except it only affects the top half of the cover. * Some stains that affect the back cover, affecting the left-hand bottom third of the back cover. * 1" tear on pages 13 - 15. * I know that the cover is separated from the spine, but I think that is due to my poor picture-taking skills.

Amazing Spider-Man Annual #2. Complete and all pages firmly attached. I'm calling it a G/VG, just to be safe. Asking price is $70 $57.50. SOLD to @rdp collectibles! Here are the issues as I see them: * 2" spine split at bottom of cover. * Significant creasing on front cover near the spine. * Small tear near top of spine. * Significant creasing on bottom left-hand corner of back cover, which also affects the last 2 - 3 pages of the book. * Approximately 1" tear that affects the first 4 pages of the book * Crunch of the bottom right-hand corner of the front cover, which also affects the first 6 pages of the book.

Daredevil Annual #1 - CGC 9.2 from Ebay.

I have really been enjoying your posts in this thread. However, I think you're beating a dead horse by continuing to write this at the beginning of every issue recap. It's quite clear where your allegiances lie. However, I'm not disputing anything that you are writing. I just think it's getting a little monotonous.

Not by me!

I can see your point about the time frame. I still think a refund, not necessarily a FULL refund, is in order.

I agree 100% with this. If the seller failed to count the pages and the buyer failed to count the pages, why is the buyer the only one that is facing any repercussions? I do agree that the seller should eat the cost of having the book graded.

This same thing happened to me last year, and everyone blamed me for the problem. Yes, in hindsight, I should have counted the pages. However, the seller should bear some of the responsibility. It is the seller's responsibility to provide a product free from defects, especially if the book sells for $400+. Here's why I feel that way. Let's say I go to Walmart to get a tire replaced. For whatever reason, several of the lug nuts don't get tightened properly. On my way home, due to some bumpy roads, the lug nuts get sheared off and I cause an accident. If we follow the rationale of everyone here on the boards, I am at fault because I didn't inspect the tire prior to driving home. But honestly, the majority of the board members here would sue Walmart for the damages, and, in all likelihood, win the suit. I don't understand the reasoning that there should be no repercussions for a seller who sells a defective product.

Well, @Beardown post from above has certainly rained on my parade, I am still quite happy to have completed my IH #1 - #6 run.
