We are NOT talking about one-of-a-kind stuff here: e.g., OA; things signed by legends who have passed away; one-off sketches; comic-related letters/business papers/internal memos/cancelled checks; prototypes or concept designs; freakishly rare variant or error books; "OO" copies of comics with clear provenance & high sentimental value; etc., etc. Instead, let's focus on things which were just mass-produced enough (and possibly saved by other like-minded obsessives) to maybe be out there, somewhere, and thus potentially "re-acquireable" someday for the right price, and if you happen to be in the right place at the right time. Here's one of mine: an unbroken/unsold distributor bundle of NICK FURY AGENT OF SHIELD #18...

CLOSED

UPDATE...I'll be listing another (much smaller) Marvel coverless lot later this evening, and will probably be offering a discounted price to someone who takes both lots. In the meantime, the original lot is still available, and I am very much open to offers via PM. Try me!
