SOLD!! Thank you!

Here's a copy of my spreadsheet with grades and notes. When I posted issue 11 in the PGM forum, the average grade even with the rubbing/scuffing was around 6.5. I've got it in my spreadsheet as a 5.0 just to be as conservative as possible. Issue one may be nicer than than a 7.0, but again I want to be conservative on the grades. I just don't really have any experience grading these types of books.

Honestly, I'm not sure exactly how to grade these. I don't have any graded copies of books like this which to compare. The biggest issue is color loss/rub/scuffing on the back covers of several of these books. Because of this, I consider most of these nice reading copies, even though structurally they look like higher grade books. Issue 1 and 2 are both 2nd prints. Issue 2 and 15 are the nicest and are probably at least 8.5 or higher. The rest are probably somewhere between 5.0 and 7.0 depending on how you feel about the color loss/scuffing. I'm pretty much asking original cover price for the lot, plus what I think it will cost me to ship them. I am always open to reasonable offers. I'm asking $65 shipped for the lot. SOLD!!

Add the TEC 422 to my pile. Thanks!

Thanks again for the replies. I appreciate the input. I’ve got several that are like this, but this one was the worst. I may have to rethink my grades on them just a bit.

Thank you for the replies so far. The color rub/scuffing bothered me so much that I have it as a 4.0 in my spreadsheet. Maybe I need to rethink the grade a bit. The front cover is great. If the back looked like the front, I think it would be 8.5 maybe 9.0. Thanks again for the responses!

Just looking for opinions on a grade for books like this. Has significant amount of color loss/rub/scuffing on the back cover. How much should I deduct for an issue like this? The front cover is nice and looks high grade (VF/NM range) but back cover Thank you for any replies!

My brother-in-law is a huge Conan fan, so a couple years ago I bought him a complete, mostly unread (spines weren't even broken) run of the Lancer (late 60's) Frazetta cover Conan paperbacks. I thought it would be the best gift ever. When I got the books, they were so nice I wanted to keep them. They all looked almost brand new. But I wanted to give him something really cool. When we gave them to him, he did say thanks and called them "neat", but then promptly just tossed (literally) them on the floor in the corner of his office. Every time I've visited since, they are still just sitting in that corner with a bunch of paperwork and other junk.

Dang, I stepped away from the computer for 10 minutes and missed everything. Nice books. Dang it.

Nice pickups!

One last price drop on the Nova lot. Dropped to $135.00 shipped.

At my old LCS there was a guy who would come to pick up his comics Wednesday nights dressed in a full Superman costume. It was a little odd, but what really bugged me is that he bought mostly Marvel titles.

Superman-Tim is sold! Also lowered price on Nova lot.

Should have put that I am always open to reasonable offers. I can scan a few of the Nova comics if anyone is interested in that lot as well. Thanks for looking!

Full run of Bronze Age Nova from 1-25. I'm including a jpeg of my spreadsheet with my grades and notes. Most of the page quality on these is OW to Cream. The higher grade books have nicer pages closer to OW. I planned to upgrade the lower grade copies at some point to have a full run in the VF range, but decided to focus on some other runs I'm working on. Several of the books I have graded as VF (8.0) may be closer to 8.5 for most people, but I try to be conservative. Asking $160.00 $145.00 $135.00 shipped.

Superman-Tim October 1947 Asking SOLD! per PM Front looks nice other than slight bend upper right corner, but water damage on back cover. Whole book is a little stiff due to water damage. Bought graded as Good and I think that's what it is due to water damage. It looks super nice for grade though. Really cool book.
