New Adventure Comics #28 .5 c/ow pages. A surprisingly nice copy that had the front cover neatly removed. The back cover is still firmly attached at both staples. Mycomicshop just auctioned a New Adventure 27 in the same condition (missing front cover, c/ow pages) last week that ended at $637. This book for parts ALONE is worth more than my asking price. I know there's a restored .5 out there missing page 22, so here ya go (whoever has it)! There is a color copy of the cover included. $250 SOLD

More Fun Comics #12 CGC Universal 5.0 ow/w. This is the lone 5.0 with only 1 6.5 & 1 7.0 higher on the census. Am offering at my cost, so please don't ask for a discount. $1450

That's all for tonight, more tomorrow.

House of Secrets 2 issue lot. #67 3.0 ow/w pages mostly due to cover detached at staples and first wrap detached from bottom staple. #87 4.0 ow/w pages. Some creases & general wear with a staple tear at bottom staple. Take the pair for $10

The Flash #139 3.0-3.5 ow pages. Bouncing between the 2 grades on this one, primarily due to near spine length tape on exterior cover. The tape looks completely unnecessary and could probably be easily removed. The book otherwise would likely grade out around 5.0. This issue features the origin and first appearance of Professor Zoom (Reverse Flash) and is a key issue. If you're skilled at tape removal, you could probably make some good loot. $185

Flash Comics #17 Q2.5 ow/pages. Book is qualified due to missing the centerfold. 2.5 due to piece off of the front cover and top staple detached. Some minor margin tears on a few pages. Great paper on this one! The King story is the only one affected by the CFO. Priced at my cost of $125

This came in a few weeks ago!

Since you were buying Spidey books …. the Spidas touch?!?!?

We MAY need to create a new term for turning Gold into Silver though …..

Congrats Billy Boy!!! You have the Midas touch

Detective #88 & #106 sold via pm to D84! Thanks Jeremy!

That's all for tonight. Flash Comics should be up next, either tomorrow or Friday. Thanks again to all who have found something for their collections

Detective #368 3.5 ow/w pages. Bright, colorful copy with some cover creases and wear near spine. Atom and Chronos appearance in Elongated Man story. $25

Detective #359 3.0 ow pages. Origin and first appearance of Batgirl (Barbara Gordon)!!! Nice flat copy with some stains and 2 small tape pulls on the lower right front cover. Hot book here priced below market. $325

Detective #106 2.5 ow pages. This copy has a humidity wave to the cover and into some pages. Could really use a press for those that do that. The bottom staple is loose at the front cover but attached at the back. Top staple has tears but is attached. Kinda different cover. $140 SOLD

Detective #88 2.0 ow/w pages. Cover detached due to tears at cover staple area (see pics). Three inch spine split from the top down, but not due to any brittleness, as this book has fantastic paper quality, ESPECIALLY for a book in this grade range. Lots of great stuff inside this book. $135 SOLD

Gonna mix up the order for this one book: Detective 97 CGC 5.5 Universal w pages. Thought I'd add it as I can live without it, but am also happy to keep it, as I LOVE Detective Comics with white pages that look much better than the assigned grade. Yours for $595 SOLD

You're very welcome! It's a great issue and I'm certain you will REALLY dig it once you've got it in hand! I completely understand having to stay clear of further spending!!! It's just so difficult at times

Detective #26 sold to KCOComics via pm! Thanks Kevin!

That's all for tonight. I'll have a few more Detectives either tomorrow or Thursday.

Thank you very much! It actually DOES advertise the #27 with the coming of "The Batman" which can be seen in the last pic I posted for that book. CGC mentions it on the label of certified copies too, but I still think it's undervalued. Difficult to find and expensive, I'll be surprised if it doesn't sell fairly quickly. Thanks for the 'luck wish' on the sale!

Detective #84 Qualified 5.0 ow/w pages. The qualified grade is due to someone neatly cutting a coupon out of the last page which does affect the end of the Boy Commandos story (the final page in the book is an ad page). Other flaws are an inch and a half tear at the right front cover edge mid way up (visible in pic) and small staple tears on back cover. Also, an odd page fold at the spine area near the centerfold (can be seen in Slam Bradley pic). Flat clean copy with one of the better later covers. $335

Detective #74 2.5 w pages. This copy has some great characteristics seldom seen in this grade range .... like very strong cover colors and killer page quality! There look to be 3 small pieces of tape at the staple area, one outside cover, one inside cover and one on first wrap to reattach the cover. This copy also has a spine roll (see pic) as well as a piece out of lower cover spine. Minor stains on some pages and back cover. The centerfold is also loose. $275

Detective #26 Qualified .5 c/ow pages. This copy is a coverless with a loose married front cover. I bought them separately and brought them together. I do not have a back cover as I haven't been able to acquire one yet and have decided to pass this project on to another collector and let them bring it to completion. I think (but am not positive) that the More Fun, Action and Adventure comics out on the same month have the same back cover, but once again, I'm not positive of that. The first page has some names and some squiggles in pencil, so of which appears to be reduced with an eraser (see pic). This issue also has a "coming attraction" blurb at the top margin on a page alerting us to the Batman coming to this title next month (see pic). The front cover is VERY colorful and has aged very well for a loose cover. The interior has a few minor tears which is understandable as the first wrap appears to have acted as the issues cover for quite some time now. For someone who chooses not to wait until they find a donor back cover, a back cover could easily be created by laser color reproduction, attached to the front cover, then attached to the interior through the staples to have a complete copy. This book has become VERY expensive and GPA tells us that a NO GRADE coverless with c/ow pages sold for $1295 on 9/7/18, a year and a third ago. I am offering this coverless with a beautiful original cover here and am willing to match that price! $1295 SOLD

A few Detectives tonight and hopefully the rest tomorrow. If not, then the next day.
