Mostly GA (some SA) raw odds and ends NOT high grade

I picked up a box of random books locally. Most are GA, with a few SA mixed in. Nothing too special, but might be hole fillers for some. Not one of these will be accused of being high grade, so please buy accordingly. I am going to try and note any defects that are worth singling out, but please feel free to ask for details and/or more pics. Tanning/browning of the pages is prevalent on a lot of these (but not all). I am also counting pages, and will note any that are missing. I am going to try and do this alphabetically, but no promises. Thanks for looking. Here are the particulars:

 

- No buyers from the bad lists

- I will pay for US shipping. It will be USPS 1st Class or Priority, whichever is cheaper. If you want something else, or if you want insurance, then it's based on actual costs and on your dime.

- PayPal only

- Returns accepted within 10 days of receipt

- Feel free to make me an offer, but I'll Take It trumps any negotiations.

- eBay handle is "the_tishbite" if you care for those references. I have just started selling on these boards.

 

First book is Beverly Hillbillies #19 from 1969. Photo cover. Significant spine roll, some creasing, name ("Susan") written in the margin on the first page, centerfold attached, cover attached, 32 pages all there. I am calling this one 3.0.

 

$5 shipped

Bugs Bunny Showtime #86, 1962, 5.5 = $9

 

Tough cardstock black cover, crease bottom right front cover, some color wear from being unbagged, really good spine with a couple color breaking stresses, tanned pages, color smudge through the cello on front, oddly enough on the back too, rough edge on the bottom back cover, one small tear on back cover, blunted top right front corner. All 80 pages accounted for. No writing noted.

Crack Western #71 from 1951. Cover attached, but bottom staple is losing its hold. Sadly, there is a wrap missing (assuming centerfold, but it doesn't look like the story is affected???). A couple small corner pieces missing from the front, and a piece missing from the edge in the back. Some definite tanning going on. I will call it 3.0 except for the missing wrap. $6 shipped.

Dell Giant, Walt Disney's Silly Symphonies #7 from 1957. Rough...please see pics. Large piece missing from front cover, lots of creasing and some tearing, soiling back cover. There are a few tears on the inside as well, and someone completed the connect-the-dots puzzle (wasn't me). I only count 94 pages when it should be 100. Do the inside covers count as pages on these? If so, the count is 96.

Dell Giant, Walt Disney's Silly Symphonies #8 from 1958. This one is better, but that's not saying too much. Large tear in front cover, and other damage, staining front cover, random tear or two inside, but not too bad. I counted 98 pages...do they count the inside front and back covers as pages? They certainly look like they could be counted. Maze on inside of front cover has been completed in pencil. Some warping  on back cover.

 

$6 shipped

Take both Silly Symphonies for $8 shipped.

Four Color #157, Mickey Mouse and the Beanstalk from 1947. Pretty rough. Cover is loose, and browning (see pic). Some pieces missing along spine. Mickey's eyes have been gouged out. Complete.

Four Color #272, Cinderella. Browning, and sort of brittle cover, a few pieces missing around the edges, split at top for about 3", some chew maybe on bottom spine, all pages there.

 

$7 shipped

 

 

[elibowman]

Four Color #321 from 1951, Little Scouts. Better than the other two Four Color, but still low grade with tanning/brittleness of the cover, tanning of the pages, some small pieces missing from cover, and maybe some chew. Better colors on this one, and the cover/centerfold are attached. All pages there.

Gene Autry Comics #17 from 1948. 2.0 or maybe 2.5. Chipping along edges, name written on cover in pencil, browning cover, and tanning pages, a couple small spine splits, cool photos on front and back covers, all 32 pages there.

 

$6 shipped

Joe Palooka Comics #32 from 1949. All 48 pages present and attached, but browning/tanning along with the cover. Some cover chipping and creasing, more spine stress on this one, cover attached, but lost some color on the bottom front. Maybe as high as 3.0.

 

$8 shipped

Take both Joe Palookas for $13 shipped.

 

 

[elibowman]

The Kilroys #29 from 1951. Lays flat and tight, but cover is browning badly. Pages tanning too, chips and the like on the cover, a scratch of some kind running from the "K" in Kilroys down through his right shoulder, cover feels a bit fragile, only 48 pages so missing centerfold (?; no issues with page numbers).

 

$4 shipped

 

 

[elibowman]

Spy Hunters #9 from 1950. Badly aging cover paper, tanning pages, spine split at top and bottom but still attached at both staples, prominent dust shadow both front and back, chipping. Just like The Kilroys issue there are only 12 wraps so 48 pages. I am not sure what is missing as it looks like the story just progresses. Any help here is appreciated as I am out of my normal waters. Pretty fragile feeling paper, but a very cool book nonetheless.

 

$8 shipped

 

 

[elibowman]

Walt Disney's Comics & Stories #14 (Vol. 2 #2) from 1941. VERY ROUGH. Cover detached, back cover missing, part of the cover detached from the rest (see pic) 64 pages there, but various damage, some writing intermittently including on cover (but I didn't notice any defacing the story), writing in ink on last page.

 

I will take $28 shipped OBO on this one.

Still a few more...will try and get them up by tomorrow.

[elibowman]

Happy to hear offers on any of these (especially if you are buying several).

[elibowman]

Walt Disney's Comics & Stories #1`12 (Vol 10 #4). This one is labeled as a drug issue in OSPG. I only count 12 wraps on this one (48 pages), but the cover says 52 pages. Browning/brittle like several previous books. Tightly attached, some soiling, some chipping (esp on back), a couple pieces missing from interior pages that only affect the margins.

 

$6 shipped.

 

 

[elibowman]

Western Fighters Vol. 3 No. 4 (1951). Cool book with a great buffalo cover. Same tanning/brittleness issues. Stain front cover, dust shadow, chipping, good cover gloss, again only 12 wraps by my count.

 

$6 shipped.

 

 

[elibowman]

Whiz Comics #32 from 1942. This one DOESN'T have the brittleness/tanning issues of most of the previous books. Spine roll, "P" written in pencil in the "W" on the cover, damage to the lower spine (see pic), reference to Hitler and Mussolini on the cover and satire on the inside, 64 pages, centerfold loose at top staple, cover fully attached, some light staining to cover (see "Z" in Whiz). Really solid book. I would call this a 3.5 or 4.0 depending on how you knock that spine damage. 1st appearance The Trolls.

 

$65 $58 shipped
