OLD D. Tracy books for sale including Four Color Series 1 #8 - CLOSED 0

[elibowman]

Some much older books for this thread. Very low census counts on all, but all are (unfortunately) lower grade.

 

Shipping will be at the cost of the buyer. I will ship outside the US. Not trying to make any money on shipping, so I am happy to work with you, but 100% of the cost will be on you.

 

PayPal is easiest, but I'll take a check or MO if that's what you want.

 

I'll accept returns, but shipping is on the buyer unless I made an error in the listing.

 

First  in the thread wins, and those would trump any ongoing PM negotiations.

 

No buyers from the bad lists.

First book is Army And Navy Comics #4 (Street & Smith) from 1942. Looks decent in the bag, but spine is trashed and nearly split. Looks like a small bit of moisture hit the front, but that Front and back covers only attached by 1 - 1.5" section in the middle. Detached from the interior. Cover is also tanning significantly, and has chips flaking. Interior is better, and still in decent shape. CF attached. Fun interior art with Hitler, and GGA represented. A whopping 2 copies on the census (both significantly nicer than this one). Let's go with $25.

Four Color (Series 1) #8 from 1940... Tracy. As far as the census is concerned, this is the most common book of the ones I will be listing with 8 copies. Everything is there and attached (though cover is getting loose), and the cover still has good reflectivity and is pretty clean. The pages are showing more age, with tanning and flaking along the edges. I am going to call this one 2.0, but really looks nice for a 78 (!) year old book. GPA is all over the place with a 1.0 sale from 2017 higher than a 4.0 sale, and just behind a 6.0 sale. I am going to lean on OSPG since I don't have much better...$150.

Next up is Super Comics #38 from 1941. More Tracy, along with Terry and the Pirates, and other stories. Pretty significant spine roll. Cover is better attached than the previous two, and over paper quality (between both cover and pages) is also better. Foreign substance on the upper spine. Still shows some wear, but better. Anyone know who the babe in the red dress from the Jim Ellis story is? I will call this one 2.5, though I wanted to say 3.0 on first review. 5 of these on the census. first $45 takes it.

Last one from this group is Super Comics #16 from 1939. More Tracy and Terry and the Pirates. Census holds precisely two copies. Pretty low grade. Cover and 1st wrap detached. CF present, but barely attached and worn on outer edge. Spine roll. Cover and pages tanning with minor flaking. Some small pencil on the cover, and an name written in margin on first page. Not much in the way tearing, but still pretty low grade. 1.5? Looking for $50 for this one.

Was reviewing my posts for typos, etc. and it still cracks me up that I can't use the Detective's first name. It just deletes it like it was never there.

Let's go with $235 for all four books, and I will throw in free US shipping if you hit on that.

Ok the three "Richard" Tracy books are left. Take 'em individually, or $215 shipped in the US for the three together.
