[CLOSED] Complete “silver age” Thor 127 - 192 run [some grades and lots of pics added] 0

[grebal]

Complete “silver age” Thor 127 - 192 last 20 cent issue (excluding the key first issue #126).  66 issue run. $1010 by paypal, shipped.

 

GRADES raw and unpressed.  Two-thirds of books range 5.0 to 6.5 mostly FN and up, maybe 10 dip to 4.5, rest range up to VF +/-.  Thor 165 is min. 5.5.  With VF/NM overall eye appeal with a 3” fold (at Thor’s wrist), surface wear and scuff at logo box, weird bindery looking line across, and minor edge wear at top (if 'pressed' would guess CGC grade at 6.5 it’s so fresh. I’m low balling overall with this lot).  [did the page counts, all are complete with no cutouts, staples secure in and out, no rust.]

 

RETURNS

The entire collection I got is intact, take 2 weeks to look them over and I'll pay return shipping if dissatisfied on condition.  Lifetime returns on undisclosed restoration. 

 

Short story- bought this batch maybe summer of ’16 when I was still a guy looking to do “upgrades”, decided I have better things to do with my time and money (like buy first copies).  

Selling at my cost, I did not cherry pick for my own collection, this is whole run that I bought last year, intact.  $990 ($15 ea for the 66 book run), and $20 toward shipping and fees (est at $40) = $1010 selling price.

 

$80 CREDIT AVAILABLE - I still need issues 128, 135, 177 and 179 for my own run, and so subtract $20/ea. for an instant “profit” if you let me keep all four of those issues. [so, only $930 by paypal; plus I’ll include 4 more other silver age Thors below #193 in VG min. so you still get 66 comics.]

PACKAGE: shipped economy, very securely packaged six bundles of 11 comics each, with bubbles surrounding the six cardboard sandwiches.

On request I’ll take pics of a handful, unbagged, glare pics like the #165 if you like.

And finally, my ebay ID is same as here, grebal

A few early issue are missing chips at top/rt. edge or corner (129, 136, 143) and there is one date stamp and no writing. 

EDIT to add: Grades are closer to 6.0-7.0 (not 5s to 6.5); add grades and pics for the early ones, 'keys,' and issues ending in zero:

127 6.5,  129 6.5-,  130 6.5 (two maverick pages and small tears), 132 7.0,  133 5.0+, 140 7.0,  150 5.5 (scratch),  158 6.5,  160 7.5,  161 4.5,  162 5.0 (tear bottom spine), 165 easy 5.5 ("o" on back), 166 6.5,  168 6.0,  169 6.5,  170 5.0 (VF with top stain), 180 7.0, 190 6.5+.

As mentioned, they're nicer than originally described.

Pics/scans for more of those chosen to be 'featured' as representative samples, fourteen to go (here are eight of them): 133 5.0+, 140 7.0,  150 5.5 (scratch),  158 6.5,  160 7.5,  161 4.5,  162 5.0 (tear bottom spine), 165 easy 5.5 ("o" on back), 166 6.5,  168 6.0,  169 6.5,  170 5.0 (VF with top stain), 180 7.0, 190 6.5+. [and planned to include a GD copy of 102 (3 extra unneeded staples), and VGish copies of 193 & 194, so I might as well mention it.]
