elibowman Posted October 11, 2018 Author Share Posted October 11, 2018 (edited) Secret Hearts #2 (1949, DC). Early issue of a long running romance title. Only two copies on the census, I believe. This one is 4.0 (VG) with general wear. Please see the creasing visible in the pics. All there, and attached nicely. Was $60, now $50 NOW $45!

elibowman Posted October 11, 2018 Author Share Posted October 11, 2018 (edited) Slick Chick Comics #1 from Leader (1947). "L.B." written lightly in pencil at the top FC. Spine has some issues, with a couple small pieces missing. Lingerie panel, and other teenage hijinx. CF detached, and a random minor tear to a couple interior margins. Nice, but it has it's issues. 2.5 (maybe 3.0?). Listed previously at $90, but I will take $70.FINAL OFFER = $60 Edited October 15, 2018 by elibowman Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
elibowman Posted October 11, 2018 Author Share Posted October 11, 2018 (edited) Last one for now. Strange Journey #4 (1958, Farrell). This one looks like 4.0 or 4.5.......until you get to the bottom edge. Chew kills this. I am saying 1.5 (?) because it goes all the way through. Too bad, because I really like this one. Only two copies on the census, I believe. Was $18 NOW $15 Edited October 13, 2018 by elibowman Raze 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
elibowman Posted October 11, 2018 Author Share Posted October 11, 2018 That's it for now. I still have something like 10 books left. Maybe I will get back on later tonight, or maybe it'll be tomorrow. These aren't moving quite like I had hoped, so let's hear some offers. Reasonable numbers have a good chance!

I am calling this one 1.0, but please look at pics, and know that there is a piece missing from the bottom left of the FC, and there are two significant pieces missing from the interior.

elibowman Posted October 12, 2018 Author Share Posted October 12, 2018 (edited) I have a few minutes, so here are a couple more books. My Great Love #1 (Fox, 1949). I had this one at 5.0. I posted it in the Please Grade My... forum and got a 4.0-4.5 answer. I still think this is nicer, so I am going to stick with 5.0, but feel free to make your mind up for yourself. The big issue is the CF detached at top staple. Otherwise, there are no major defects. There is a slight spine roll, "SW" in pencil on cover. But, great color, and very clean. Sleazy Fox romance at it's best. Was $245, now $225 NOW $205! FINAL OFFER = $195 Edited October 15, 2018 by elibowman Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
elibowman Posted October 12, 2018 Author Share Posted October 12, 2018 (edited) Super Comics #16 (1939!!!). D. 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? Was $38, now $33 NOW $28! FINAL OFFER = $25 Edited October 15, 2018 by elibowman Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
elibowman Posted October 12, 2018 Author Share Posted October 12, 2018 (edited) Super Comics #38 from 1941. More D. Tracy, along with Terry and the Pirates, and other stories. Pretty significant spine roll. Cover is fairly well attached, and overall paper quality (between both cover and pages) is better than the previous book. 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. Only 5 of these on the census. Was $30, now $25 NOW $21! FINAL OFFER = $15 Edited October 15, 2018 by elibowman Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
elibowman Posted October 12, 2018 Author Share Posted October 12, 2018 (edited) True Secrets #9 (Atlas, 1951). Structurally, this book is pretty solid. No major tears, or even much creasing. But, the white areas of the cover (front and back) have seen better days. I can't really tell if it's foxing or color transfer or soiling or some combination. But, it's pretty significant. The back is much worse than the front. I am going to call it 2.5, but structurally, I would have called it 4.0 or 4.5. Interior pages are in decent shape. No copies on the census, unless I am doing it wrong. Was $35, now $30 NOW $24! FINAL OFFER = $20 Edited October 15, 2018 by elibowman Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
elibowman Posted October 12, 2018 Author Share Posted October 12, 2018 (edited) Uncanny Tales #3 (Atlas, 1953). This one is 2.0 or 2.5. There is some tape on the bottom of the spine (2 or 2.5") that is covering a split. There is a spine split at the top (no tape) that is similar. Some tanning to the cover, but the pages are much better. The bulk of the cover has great color and reflectivity, and presents better than the grade (the ballad of the low grade peddler). There is a miscut you can see in the pics. This is one I wouldn't mind keeping, so forgive the aggressive pricing. $85 NOW $75!

elibowman Posted October 12, 2018 Author Share Posted October 12, 2018 That will do it for tonight. I might have a couple more tomorrow, but we will see. Thanks all for looking, and let's get some more of these sold. They need new homes! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I am calling this one 5.0, with general wear (especially along edges). Still a really nice book. Sorry about the shadows in the pics. Trying to get as much natural light as I can for better viewing.

I want to call it 5.0 because it's overall appeal is so nice, but there is enough wear to back me off of that. No surprises here...see the pics. Was $28, now $23 NOW $19!
