Tonight I have a small batch of books for your perusal. These all came from a recent OO find and are solid books with minor storage(moisture) issues. Great cover colors and nice page quality, a solid group of attractive books with lower technical grades.

 

First, the standard :blahblah:

 

I accept first unconditional :takeit: via post or PM, timestamp wins. Payment due within 7 days unless arranged before "I'll Take It". I accept Paypal, checks, MOs(sorry no International money orders). Please do not edit "I'll Take It" posts. PM offers do not remove items from being available unless noted. Items usually ship within 24-72 hours after payment.

 

Shipping in US starts at $10, $2 for each additional, PM for other International quote.

 

First up...

Action Comics #97 VG $145 offwhite to white pages, outside part of lower staple gone(pieces still stuck through pages to cf), slightly rusty upper staple(inside ok), spine curl. A much nicer looking copy I've downgraded due to the lower staple issue.

Airboy Comics V2 #3 VG+ $65 SOLD! one slightly rusty staple, the other is rusty, slight curl at spine due to moisture/foxing, slight upper edge ragged chew upper right cover and on back cover as well. (I didn't note page quality on this, should be comparable but I can pull the book to confirm if anyone wants)

Action 97 - nice looking book. Does the rust bleed thru onto any of the pages?

 

The nice thing about the rusty staples is that there were no rust stains that saturated the paper around the staples, and that included the interior pages- the rust mainly confined itself to the staple. I will double check that book for you to make sure.

I checked, there is no bleed through to surrounding paper, the rust evidence is strictly where the holes are.

Batman #34 (Copy 1) VG+ $240 offwhite pages, rusty staples, slight spine roll, light stain lower right corner, small back cover stain that goes into pages at top, light right edge stain, nice solid book. Stain lower right is not as obvious in hand, it's much more subtle than cover scan shows

Is the "y" on that Bats 34 a mislabel? hm

 

That would be par for the course, however, CGC has not worked their GACollectible Label Magic on these puppies.
