Hey gang,

 

So Heroes was a great success as a buying show, and I've managed to buy some more stuff recently...much more, in fact, than I had budgeted for the month of June.

This kinda bites for me as I have both a weeklong vacation coming up in another month, as well as plans to trade in our 10 year old Camry at some point for something newer and safer for my wife, the expectant mother-to-be. Faced with all that, I've decided to try and clear out some stuff that really doesn't need to be sitting in my collection, and I'm willing to move most of it at close to my cost just to raise some cash. My goal is to raise about $10k, so expect some decent books posted for sale.

 

So, throughout the month of June, I will offer books up here before other venues like ebay or C-link. I'll price them as close to the bone as I can in hopes I can make a sale and pass along a cool book at a great price to a fellow Boardie.

 

Rules are simple:

 

- :takeit: trumps all offers.

 

- Prices stated would be for a cash/check/money order type of transaction. Please add 3% if you intend to pay with Paypal (or I guess you can now make it a "personal" transaction where Paypal waives the fees).

 

- Shipping is $8 for one slab, or $11 for up to four via Priority Mail. I would recommend insurance on most items over $200.

 

- Time Payments are available, but I would prefer to wrap up any outstanding deals by the end of August (so, figure 2 months or about nine weeks out). PM me with what you need to make it happen.

 

Please PM me with any questions. If a book was pressed, I will disclose it in the listing.

 

So, without further adieu, let's get rolling....

First up is a nice one....

 

Journey into Mystery # 83 CGC VG/FN 5.0. Nice looking book in an old label holder. Last sale for a 5.0 was $2,500. Last sale for a 5.5 was a whopping $3,950. A $1,450 price difference for a half-a-grade seems silly to me, especially since this copy presents as nice as a 5.5.

 

Price: $2,600

Marvel Mystery # 37 (CGC VF- 7.5) Classic Hitler Cover. Tough book in high grade. A reholder would eliminate the Centerfold notes on the front cover, and that might be the way I decide to go if it doesn't move in this thread. According to GPA, only one mid to high grade copy has sold in the last five years, and that was a 6.5 back in 2007 for $1,275. This is not a book that comes around very often in any shape. Back cover is extremely clean with no sunshadows or tanlines to speak of. I'm basically pricing this book at a hair above cost.

 

$1875

Detective Comics # 46 (CGC 7.5) This book has a lot of things going for it. It is the Dick Winters copy, an OO collection out of the Lancaster County, PA area. It features the 20th appearance of Batman in Detective Comics. It is a contemporary of Batman # 3 & # 4 (both books that Guide for much more). It has great page quality for the era. It also features the "death" of Batman villain Hugo Strange. It also presents extremely well for the grade with sharp edges and only minor wear. High guide is $4,200 for this book, which is a bit low to me. Taking all that into account, I've also priced it under Guide as a "Board special". If you ever wanted to own a nice, solid early Tec...this book may be for you.

 

Price: $1,150. This book has been Pressed to remove some NCB wrinkles on the front cover.
