Would you buy them . . . or would you pass and smoke crack?

Local seller wants $20/each - would you pull the trigger? Found in garage in Ohio and only the Stange Tales has any rat chews or major defects. I'm going to go take a peak tomorrow and these would be purchased for a quick flip. He is asking about 1/2 VG in guide which may be all I can get for these oldies but goodies. Any pre throughts?

Why different pic on WOF?

This is often somewhat of a flag in my book.

How about posting the images as attachments for the photobucket impaired?

That was my first thought also.

I'd buy them in person...they're GA books for relatively cheap. Someone eventually will want them.

Would if I could but don't

That is strange. It almost looks like it's hanging on a wall. They do look really shiny for 1950's books. He did mention some VERY slight water stains which may throw the whole deal out the window. Would the rat chew drop the grade to GD from an otherwise FN book or would it drop to the FR level?

Based on the pics, they look decent for $20 a pop. Of course, you can't pick up on some of the finer details.

Looks like a no-brainer to me. They appear to still have some gloss.

$80.00 is not much money. I would probably give it a shot.

Yea - I was on the fence with taking a lunch hour to go look at them but maybe I can get him to lower his price if they are a little rougher than shown. Thanks guys. I'll post some scans when I get them in hand.

Nice find..... hope all works in your favor!!!!!

Well - I decided to buy but at a much reduced $50 for the set. A little water damage to a corner of the Dark Shadow gave me the leverage to pull off the major steal. My scanner is on the fritz but I'll scan them when the new one comes in and let everyone see these gems. Thanks for the insite and help!
