[CLOSED] Small Thread of GA: Mysterious Traveler and Planet Comics 1 1

[SeniorSurfer]

This is my second, and much smaller, posting to while away some moments during these thrill-packed times we live in.  I'm more of a buyer on these boards and have completed transactions with several respected members (inasmuch as anyone here can be called respectable).  Now, on with this farrago.    

The Rules Which Must Be Listed:

1)  A "take it" or any form of that posted in the thread trumps all.  
2)  I will accept PayPal, PO Money Orders or Cashier's Checks as payment.
3)  Shipping via Priority USPS with Signature Confirmation is already included in the price.  Shipping at this time is only to CONUS.  
4)  No returns on CGC graded books.  
5)  I won't sell to HOS or PL members as it's been suggested they are cowardly curs, the most worthless of waste,  the vilest of vermin, the... oh, not all?  Well... I won't anyway just in case.

Sold items in the title

OK - First up:  Archie #31 (5.5) - 150.00.  Al Fagaly cover, clean but the "Slight C-1" admonishes whoever owned it before added a small amount of glue on cover and tear seals to cover.  I was really disappointed when I got this back (who isn't when they get that PLOD) and doubly so since  who the heck tries to clean up an Archie book?  Not a key cover, even.

 

[SeniorSurfer]

Archie #42 (5.0) - 225.00.  Bob Montana cover with Archie making his play for someone not named Betty or Veronica (the hound).

[SeniorSurfer]

Archie's Rival Reggie #10 (7.5) - 275.00.  Only went up to #14 with this title before returning several years later with the shortened change, so they're a little harder to find - especially with white pages.

BUY 2, GET 1 FREE ARCHIE SPECIAL:  I'm so disgusted (too strong? maybe just repulsed?) with that #31 that if you buy both the other Archie books I'll throw in #31 for free!

[SeniorSurfer]

Mysterious Traveler Comics #1 (4.5) 550.00 - With not only an eye-catching cover by Bob Powell but also an interior story, "Raw Deal," which tells an abbreviated version of the superb Film Noir with the same name.  (That one, with Anthony Mann directing and John Alton's moody cinematography, you should track down).  At any rate, you can also read the story contents of this 'un for free(!) as it has been copied for all to see at comicbookplus.com.  NOTE:  For those that want to play "guess the reflection," that would be an overhead A/C grill on the front/back pics of the case.

 

[SeniorSurfer]

Planet Comics #62 (8.0) 650.00 - Cover by Joe Doolin, this one has the last original adventure featuring Mysta of the Moon.  The plot reads that disgraced Earthman Kark attacks water world Aqua while Mysta fights a Safety Council security investigation that threatens her undercover secret (If I had to make a year 2020 guess, Kark was no doubt disgraced because of his odd name and is now overcompensating, while Mysta's secret is that she's a "Mister" instead).

And that will do it for this thread.  Thank you for looking and be safe!

Had some questions on the upper corner of the Planet book so I took a close-up.  Not as much a mis-cut as it is a mis-print since the white of the cover is showing
