vaillant Posted January 9, 2020 Share Posted January 9, 2020 (edited) I’ve been away for almost a year from the forum, mostly due to family issues. I am now sorting duplicate Marvel books and reconsidering the focus of my collection. You can find my kudos thread here. I try to grade books accurately but I’m no professional grader – mostly the grade listed is the grade I’d be satisfied with if I was the buyer. IMPORTANT: I am based in Italy. Postage costs are pretty high, so check the table below. Rules: The first (icon or text) in thread wins. You can purchase by PM but at your own risk – I will go by time stamp. Payment by Paypal. Please no people on the HoS or Probation list. Shipping rates: I ship from Italy. Rates indicatively as follows (Zone 1 is Europe and UK, Zone 2 is Americas, Asia and Africa, and Zone 3 Oceania). Airmail does not have a tracking number, so for more expensive purchases I strongly recommend Registered. As a general rule, if an untracked shipment gets lost and I am already acquainted with the buyer, I agree to split the cost with him (a policy I learned from Jim which I endorse). For total amounts of over $300 I will ship to USA through registered courrier for a flat fee of $30. This will be good up to 2kg (approx 4,4 lbs.) Zone1 Zone2 Zone3 Airmail / 1-2 bks: 10.50 14.00 19.00 USD Airmail / up to 8-10 bks: 12.50 19.00 26.00 USD Airmail / up to 16-20 bks: 20.00 32.00 38.00 USD Registered / 1-2 bks: 15.50 21.00 27.00 USD Registered / up to 8-10 bks: 21.50 30.00 40.00 USD Registered / up to 16-20 bks: 31.00 46.00 57.00 USD Return policy: I do not offer returns as it would be impractical cost-wise from here, but in the unfortunate case I missed something drastic (like a cut out page or ad) I will make sure to make you whole.

vaillant Posted January 9, 2020 Author Share Posted January 9, 2020 (edited) Doctor Strange #183 - NM-Graded by Worldwide Comics as a NM- and I feel quite comfortable with the grade. Last issue. Late Marvel Silver at its finest, and these issues are not easy to find in grade, especially this one. Quote The origin of the Defenders need to be traced back in two story arcs by Roy Thomas prior to Marvel Feature #1. The first, starting in Doctor Strange #183 (November 1969), continues in Sub-Mariner #22 (February 1970) and ends in Incredible Hulk #126 (April 1970), when the Dr. Strange series was canceled and the storyline had to be completed in the other series. Dr. Strange teams with Sub-Mariner to confront the disturbing demonic beings known as the Undying Ones and their leader, the Nameless One. Barbara Norriss, later the host of the Valkyrie, first appears in Hulk #126. $130 SOLD Spoiler Edited January 10, 2020 by vaillant Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

vaillant Posted January 9, 2020 Author Share Posted January 9, 2020 (edited) Fantastic Four #67 - VF+/VFNMI decided to sell this and keep a slightly less nice copy. Hard to price, as prices are all over the place both for slabbed copies and raw ones. This one was bought from a professional seller as a VFNM and it’s very, very nice, but I prefer to err on the side of caution and call it a VF+ because of minor wear. Considered the very nice centering how about $450? SOLD via PM Spoiler Edited January 9, 2020 by vaillant Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
