    Hi everyone, I have two raw key books up for sale: Avengers #6 - Formerly CGC VF+ 8.5 - $675 $565 Tales of Suspense #53 - Fine 6.0 - $100 SOLD Those of you who've sold raw books to me in the past know I ask a bunch of questions when I'm interested in a book, and I can say that neither of these books have: Loose or detached staples Rusty staples A loose or detached centerfold Spine splitting Soiling, water damage, stains or fingerprints Tears Chipping or dents Major creases Any printing defects (printers creases, smudges, etc.) Any interior defects unless noted (tears, missing page corner chips, etc.) - Please see the Avengers #6 description I charge exact shipping to ship these books insured via USPS Priority Mail, and the shipping cost will depend on your location (I'm willing to ship anywhere in the world, but I know USPS Priority Mail shipping costs are high outside of the U.S.). I accept PayPal, checks or money orders. The first gets the book, but I will also listen to offers via PM. I accept returns or will make things right should you not be happy with a book for any reason, and please No probies and HOSers. Thanks for looking! Art

    Fantastic report and great pics...thanks for sharing! I need to make it out to C2E2 one of these years...

    My guess is also that this is a 9.4 that was accidentally mislabeled .4...

    I kept getting drawn to that as well... Very interesting read...thanks for sharing!

    Hulk #181 for me as well, especially since it has the stamp...

    Thanks for this info! For some reason I thought a Qualified grade would only come into play if a book was signed on the cover as opposed to on the first page (as is the case with the Jack Kirby signature on the book in question)...

    I think only Stan lee's signature is called out on the label as verified ("SIGNED BY STAN LEE ON 09/22/18"), while Jack Kirby's signature is just called out in a note. Would the book get a Qualified grade (green vs. blue label) if it were not submitted through the Signature Series service? I don't think it would in that case, otherwise every book with someone's signature on the first page would get a Qualified grade.

    Is it possible that the Jack Kirby-signed book did not get a Qualified label because he signed it on the first page and not the cover?

    Next up is Tales to Astonish #53 - FN/VF 7.0 - $70 $60 This book looks a lot nicer (looks like an 8.5/9.0) and has fantastic cover gloss, but I've downgraded it because of the tanning. I submitted a copy of Tales to Astonish #50 that looked a touch nicer with the same amount of tanning and it came back from CGC as a 7.5, so I feel pretty confident in my assessment of the grade.

    First up is Journey Into Mystery #105 - FN/VF 7.0 - $85 $75 The only callout of note is a small spot to the left of "with a large printing firm" on the back cover...there's no tide line so it doesn't look like a stain, but you can see it if you hold the book at an angle (the spot is about the size of the "w" in "with").

    While on the subject of FFs, Kirby's photo collage cover on #33 was pretty innovative...

    Great report and pics...thanks for sharing! I had a blast when I traveled east for the BCC back in 2016 (my first and only out-of-state con so far), and I thought there were tons of great dealers and books then...looks like there may be even more dealers there now! I know for a fact that Worldwide didn't set up at the BCC back in 2016... I need to make it back out to this show, or possibly check out the Charlotte show...
