I dunno where you guys find this stuff, but none of the LCS in my area ever carry any vintage books in decent quality or quantitiy.

+1

 

Can't even remember the last time I got a back issue from an LCS... and Lord knows I try. Probably 3 years at least...

 

 

My LCS has some nice 10 cent DCs right now, including Showcase #5, 9 and #10 if anyone is interested......

 

how nice is nice.

 

VGish range. I called them nice since they are early SA DCs and do not turn up in that shape often. They are getting a run of 50s Romance books from the same seller this week as well.

Must have been a last minute addition. There's a new 9.2 over at CL. This one is a SS. Not sure if that's a negative or a positive. Not crazy about SS books myself.

Personally, I don't care for them either. The copy that is in the auction is quite attractively wrapped except a micro white line on the bottom 1/4 of the spine, but the PQ isn't the best. Will be interesting to see what it goes for.

I would have taken this copy over my 9.2 with white pages that I paid almost as much for 6 months ago. :P

 

Looks like price fluctuates based on availability. I will certainly keep this in mind for future purchases.

This book does not look like a 9.4 in the cruddy pics. Small tear/nick middle right edge, spots of wear along the top edge, what appears to be a spine ding or maybe two, and on my wife's laptop this morning it looks like there could be something along the bottom edge as well.

Still a really nice book though. I thought the final hammer price was real good deal for the buyer.

 

Depends. Looks like the book was overgraded a bit, so if it is only a 9.2 then he overpaid a bit.

Congrats to the buyer, then. At the worst, he overpaid a smidge for a bit of an overgraded book. At best, he got a deal on a 9.4. Either way he comes out fine. (thumbs u

I mostly collect Spider-man but about seven years ago I sold my Batman collection to pay off the college loan. (181 to what was then current) I always regretted selling a few of them and this one was sorely missed. For the few issues that I will buy back, I want issues that are in a higher grade than the ones I sold.

 

Thank you to the well wishes on the score.

 

The seller shipped it out this morning and I will post a better picture of it when I receive the book.
