Ryan. Posted July 20, 2020 Share Posted July 20, 2020 (edited) First takeit wins and immediately trumps all PM negotiations. Any variation of "takeit" counts. I accept Paypal, Venmo, check, money order or cash. No Hall of Shamers or Probies. Payment expected in 72 hours unless we work it out ahead of time. Shipping free in the US. Sorry, no international shipping will be at cost. Three days' return shipping from receipt. Buyer is responsible for shipping cost back unless item was damaged in transit. Please do not edit takeits and please do not commit to buy unless you intend to follow through Edited July 30, 2020 by Ryan.

Popular Post Ryan. Posted July 20, 2020 Author Popular Post Share Posted July 20, 2020 (edited) I had big plans to put together the full run of Contact Comics 1-12. I believe this is the only series longer than 2 or 3 issues that features cover art by LB Cole on every issue. Once the pandemic hit I put this challenge on hold and now my focus has shifted a bit so if someone wants to pick up where I left off, or just wants a bunch of nice GA Cole books in one shot, this is a good group to grab. Obviously issue 12 is the big boy in the run but the preceding 11 issues are pretty fantastic in their own right and some of the books are legitimately tough. With how hot Cole and GA war have been I expect there is still room for growth on these. I tried to get the best copies I could find, which in some cases, were the ONLY copies I could find. The list: Contact Comics 3 CGC 4.0 OW/W; one of twelve on the census. $250. Contact Comics 4 CGC 4.5 OW/W; one of nine on the census. $275. Contact Comics 7 Good+; only ten on the census. $75. SOLD Contact Comics 8 CGC 3.5 OW/W; one of eleven on the census. $225. Contact Comics 10 CGC 6.5 OW/W; one of thirteen on the census. $450 Contact Comics 11 VG; only fourteen on the census. $200. Or take all 6 above for $1200 (good until one book sells) Edited July 30, 2020 by Ryan.

I feel you - recently sold my high grade #11, but luckily found a decent but lower grade copy so I felt better about selling. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nic8612 Posted July 20, 2020 Share Posted July 20, 2020 I know absolutely nothing about Contact. What makes #12 the big one? Just being the last issue? Low print run? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Low print run? The first 11 issues are all war plane-themed covers. Issue 12 Cole went with a science fiction angle and produced one of, if not his best, covers ever. looks like this: Get Marwood & I, bronze johnny, Nic8612 and 1 other 3 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
