Strange Worlds 19 Reprints Avon's Robotmen Of The Lost Planet This copy looks pretty nice from the front with some minor wear and a couple light sub-type creases, but upper spine is split to the first staple, and there's a big distributor overspray along spine, and it actually puddled up on the upper RH corner of the BC, about the size of a silver dollar. OLD dollar, not Susan B Anthony. The overspray leaked through the spine here and there to stain the spine edge of the interior, comes no where near any art or panels. Interior is tight, with offwhite pages. Last precode issue Asking $75 I’ll Take It OdinsSecrets 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
catrick339 Posted July 4, 2018 Author Share Posted July 4, 2018 Weird Horrors 5 Looks great, flat and glossy, tight spine and CF, white pages. HOWEVER. There are three completely unnecessary small pieces of old tape on small tears on the spine BC, and another small piece inside the FC, lower LH corner. Small tear LH edge BC to boot. Asking $100 for a pretty copy, no charge for the tape, OdinsSecrets and Raze 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

catrick339 Posted July 4, 2018 Author Share Posted July 4, 2018 (edited) And now, for my walk of shame. Seems like I'd know by now to inspect a pricey book, even from a reputable dealer. I've missed stuff before, the best of us miss things occasionally. The next three are books that I paid retail or close to it, and they all had unrevealed flaws. Sigh... Tales of Horror 4 Corner off lower RH BC, entire spine is taped along interior. Tight, cream - offwhite pages. Take it for $30 SOLD!

Sorry Rick, Robot's absolutely right, Jim snagged issue 18 earlier. I'm getting punchy enough I saw two posts and didn';t actually look at the scans. Issue 19 is yours, 18 was already claimed. I'm finishing the last two books, and I'm DONE for the evening. Ricksneatstuff 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

catrick339 Posted July 4, 2018 Author Share Posted July 4, 2018 (edited) Catrick's walk of shame, part two Beware 15 Bought this one without taking it out of the bag, bad move. Front cover looks great, with a small corner and chip off upper RH, small split upper spine. But oh, that back cover. Big crease, chips out, and two half by half pieces out of the spine at the staples. Entire spine is taped inside, with the tape going right over the missing areas, a couple other small pieces of tape here and there, and a very light water stain upper LH BC. Sigh, mutter... Nice gloss, tight with white pages. And I'm selling it below what I paid, and may have to lower it further. We'll see... Asking $50 SOLD!

Shrevvy Posted July 4, 2018 Share Posted July 4, 2018 1 hour ago, catrick339 said: Eerie 10 This one is a hot mess in several directions. Amateur resto upper edge, with chunks of paper replacing missing parts. A few yards of tape. Old glue along spine inside FC. And the wrong cover, from the wrong decade, has replaced the BC, and it was too small, so extra paper has been added to build it out to the right size, Interior is complete, and not bad except for a couple old tape stains. And the Halloween arrival stamp is cool as all git out, on a nice creepy cover that displays reasonably well considering the shape it's actually in. Grab a hot mess reader for $30 A PCH with a Halloween date stamp? I have a copy and would have bought this one just for the stamp. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
catrick339 Posted July 4, 2018 Author Share Posted July 4, 2018 Catrick's walk of shame, part three Detective Comics 359, FIRST BATGIRL Here you go, nice hot SA key book, and it looks pretty durned nice...at first glance. I actually pulled it out, did a quick page count, but I was juggling a page of art and didn't look it over particularly well. The dealer is mostly known for art, and I'd just bought a nice Hitler page from him (Classics Illus Special Ed, WW II) and didn't give the comic proper attention. Complete, flat and clean, tight spine and CF, with white pages. Bit of general wear, but an attractive copy at first glance. What I DIDN'T notice was the light water stain inside the FC, running the entire length of the cover along the spine, about an inch wide. Not at all noticeable on the FC outside, and you have to look HARD to notice where it seeped juuust around the edge to the BC. Oh, it's there, don't get me wrong. But I didn't notice it until I got it home, well after the show had ended. Dealer is a nice guy, honest, friendly, and we've done plenty of business in the past, and I'm so happy with my page that I'm not going to grumble at him, he's an art dealer with a few comics on display. Double sigh, mutter, grumble, gripe. Grab a water stained key that displays beautifully for what I paid for it Asking $400 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JustJimN Posted July 4, 2018 Share Posted July 4, 2018 2 hours ago, catrick339 said: Casper The Friendly Ghost 11 Second appearance of Spooky, early Baby Huey appearance And this one is a pretty copy. Flat, clean, square, glossy, tight spine and CF and white pages. Light dust shadow along upper RH and lower LH BC, a few bits of "Marvel" chipping along lower LH edge BC, quarter inch split lower spine. The only serious flaw is a 1" semicircle tear in the FC just above the left board in the fence. Asking $50, pretty firm on this one. Take Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
