Selling a JIM 83 CGC 1.0 - $2300

Shipping is $15 in US only. CA PM me if interested and we can see what we can figure out.  I've had bad experiences on eBay with shipping to CA which is why I'm hesitant.

No probies, etc. 

Pay pal is preferred method of paying. No returns on CGC graded books. 

I ship quick, usually next business day.

I will listen to offers.

Take it in the thread trumps all, pms etc.

Any questions just let me know.

Thanks!

I have a couple books I'm looking to trade but I didn't see a spot for that...is there one I'm just missing?

Can't say thank you enough for everyone who took the time to help me out by giving advice. I truly appreciate it. Dcmannn has been super helpful in selling me a couple nice runs I needed so shout-out to him!

AF is the only book I think I would throw $10k at in .5-1.5 (per eBay is doable) and then talking with a few high end guys I see in my travels and trading up with cash. I would love raw for the romantic aspect of my kid touching (when he is old enough, he is only 6) the actual pages of these classic works but don't think it's likely. 

I guess I'll play it by ear on the grade. Perhaps I'll know what the min I'll accept when I see it. 

Thanks again for everyone's help. If you see anyone selling 100-149 send em my way!  I'll keep everyone updated on my hunt.

You're asking a great question and it's an exciting quest you're embarking on.  The best advice I can give you is that different collectors set different goals and there is no "right" answer except the answer you settle on yourself.  I'm sure a lot of folks on this board would be happy to give you additional advice, but it would probably help to understand a little more about what you're hoping to do.

So I'll start with the most obvious questions:  When you say you have #150 and up in NM, are you talking about raw books or are these books graded?  When you think about buying a complete run from #1-150 -- and you didn't mention Amazing Fantasy #15 but we might as well toss that into the conversation as well -- do you imagine buying certified (third-party graded) copies or do you want to buy raw?

Ive been collecting ASM for a long time with is why I have all of v2-5. I have NM+ of 298, 299, 300 and all the keys just have not yet gotten them graded. I don't want to do it but you almost have to at this point. My "plan" was to for instance but 100-149 in raw except for the keys. I don't see why I would spend $600-800 on a raw VF/NM 101 when I could spend $1000-1100 and get a cgc 9.0. so that was my plan for the runs. Again if someone has a better plan let me know. 

I am curious as to everyone's opinion on this:

Currently putting a complete run together and leave it to my son. I have 150-current (minus some variants because there are too many) in NM. Based on what I can see I should be able to get 100-current in VF/NM and not take out a second mortgage. Where I'm racking my brain is from 1-49. What grade is "good enough". Obviously I would want everything in NM but that's not an option. I also don't want to buy books, then have to upgrade and try to sell the lower grade books. So my question to all my fellow collectors is "what grade in raw is good enough so the collection is pretty"?

Also any advice to completing the collection is appreciated.
