We just finished it and I thought it was just ok.  It lacked the spark that made season 1 so good but it wasn’t bad - just

Thread is closed and books are being moved over to E-Bay but let me know via PM if you want me to take them down and I'll sell them to you for $3,500 shipped (if they have not sold of course).

I’ll close up this thread on Friday night.  If you need a large chunk of the set - send me a PM and we can talk about splitting up the set.  I’m not interested in selling individual issues or small batches at this time.

I've picked up several this past year. They're out there if your search is wide enough and you're hustling.

You will just have to trust me and my iron clad return policy if you don't think they are 9.6 (possible 9.8 with a press) canadits.

You talked to your family?  I was busy trying to log back in every couple minutes for the last 11 hours!

Got back cover scans? 

Of all of them?  I currently only have back cover scans of the first couple dozen.  Want me to scan some of the keys?

Received my very awesome raffle prize from @s-man today! We're on opposite coasts so he blessed us with some scrumptious goodies enjoyed in his area!

The Walking Dead box edition with covers A through M of issue 115 are sweet! As well as The walking Dead playing cards! It's a good day...

Thank you my friend! 😁

Wasn't the edibles that I was expecting to see!

Please PM me any questions and I'll be happy to answer them ASAP.  Thread will stay up for about a week so think it over and hopefully someone wants to avoid all the hard work putting together a high grade complete set of this fantastic series.

Any spots are due to my scanner being a tad dirty when I did this set of scans.  

Accidental post

Hello all!  I've been on the boards for going on 2 decades with dozens of sales threads under my belt (although it's been awhile).  I have a E-Bay store which I've sold thousands of books with 100% customer satisfaction because I stand behind the quality of the books I sell and resolve the occasional issue very quickly. 

Up for sale today is a complete set of Invincible Comics from 1 to 144.  The set contains none of the variants and are the main issues.  This set is in mylar and was picked out with care and gently read once so they are sweet.  I'd grade all of them a 9.6 / 9.8 except for the following issues:

#1 - Couple small spine ticks and edge wear and I'll give it a 8.5/9.0

#2 - Looks more in the 9.4 range then a 9.6 / 9.8 books

#3 - small corner bend has it in the 9.0 / 9.2 range

#4 - #6 could be closer to 9.4s but may benefit from a press.  After that they get really nice.

The rest are just fantastic and I don't see any reason quite a few could be sitting in 9.8 cases with a nice press.  Scans of several issues are shown but I can show more if people are concerned about the quality of the books.

Price is $3,500 shipped for the entire set (within the US - Please contact me for Canada).  I was about to list them for $4.500 plus shipping on E-Bay but I thought I'd try them out here first.  I accept Paypal, Venmo and checks / money orders but I'd prefer Paypal for this set.

I'll be shipping will be via in a well padded short box with insurance so you will be getting the entire high grade set in fantastic condition.  I do offer returns if you disagree with the grades or there are any other issues - just send them on back and I'll refund your entire $3,500 and the return shipping once they are received back in my hands.  If you just change your mind on the purchase then I'll still return your entire $3,500 but you will pay the return shipping.  I'm easy to work with so buy without hesitation.

Why not an unboxing video? It could be funny, i cannot imagine the size of the package actually 

200 comics bagged and boarded will fill up 75% of a long box so I'd guess they would just pad the ends and then ship the whole long box.

Can any auction house touch eBay’s current fee structure for a $5000 comic sale?  Easy peasy (at least after you sweat out the post office). 
 

I looked at sold copies of his books on E-Bay and I couldn’t find any recent copies that have sold which shows you how rare it is to see this level of books to sell on E-Bay.  Letting them sit for awhile is always and option but I just see these type of books selling on E-Bay.

Auction house opinions wanted:

I'm to the point of culling the herd quite a bit. Thinking about sending some of my mid-keys and lesser slabs to MyComicShop to sell, however, I think best path for some of my SA DC keys is likely one of the auction houses (Heritage, Comic Link, Comic Connect, etc.). Thoughts on where these might get the most visibility and bang for the buck?

I've only sold on E-bay and these boards so not all that familiar with the auction sites.

Thanks in advance!

 

These books look right up ComicLink's alley.  They don't seem high priced or rare enough to go with Heritage and I'm not hearing a lot of positives about Comic Connect lately.

Not sure about golden age prices dropping, since a lot of them didn't even have any sales during the peak of the market.

I was curious about my statement that Golden Age is just a small subset of the market so I checked books available on E-bay and there are 180,910 Golden / Platinum Age books up for sale currently on E-Bay while there are 8,180,288 comic books up for sale in general.  So Golden Age and older books account for 2% of the available books on E-Bay at the moment.  Now I know E-Bay isn't the best venue for most high priced Golden Age books but it does highlight how small of a portion of the market those books are (at least on the biggest sales site).

Let's expand that thought to include Silver-Age books which gave me 387,997 books up for sale in the Silver-Age area of E-Bay.  So Silver-Age accounts for about 5% of the available books and anything older then 1970 accounts for only 7% (!!!) of the E-Bay comic market place.  I'm sure that is because these older books are squirrelled away in collections but when you look at the numbers it's pretty shocking how small percent older books are of the overall market.

If a book is that rare then sky is the limit but I personally lump anything prior to Silver-Age as being old comics that I don't know much about and haven't taken the time to learn about them.  I can see why big money has congregated into Golden Age books the way people put money into gold bars when the economy goes through a down period.  They are a very small subset of the market and I let others who know that market handle them.
