elibowman Posted September 23, 2020 Author Share Posted September 23, 2020 (edited) True Comics And Adventure Stories 1, 1965, Parents Magazine Institute. Squarebound book that looks about 4.0 to me. Corner creases, wear to spine corners. $5 Edited September 23, 2020 by elibowman Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
elibowman Posted September 23, 2020 Author Share Posted September 23, 2020 (edited) Weird Horrors 9, 1952, St. John. Spine split top that doesn't get to the staple, split bottom that goes to the top of the bottom staple, other general wear. Cover still attached. Kubert cover. Maybe a 2.0. Seems that nice overall to me, but I know the cumulative spine split might push that downward. $40 **No longer for sale Spoiler Spoiler Edited September 28, 2020 by elibowman Raze 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
elibowman Posted September 23, 2020 Author Share Posted September 23, 2020 (edited) Wilbur 3, 1944, MLJ. This one is faded a bit, has a corner missing (along with other chipping), a tear at the top in "Featuring", and I would consider the cover detached. It's certainly detached at the bottom, and the top might be attached, but if so, it will likely detach if a butterfly flaps its wings outside. Let's go with 1.8. $35 **NOW $30!

elibowman Posted September 23, 2020 Author Share Posted September 23, 2020 (edited) Wilbur 29, 1950. This one is much nicer. I have it at 5.0. Firmly attached, and nice colors and pages. There is a faint stamp on the front cover (personal stamp?). Not much big to call out aside from a nice figure. $33 **SOLD VIA PM Spoiler Spoiler Edited September 24, 2020 by elibowman Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

elibowman Posted September 23, 2020 Author Share Posted September 23, 2020 I think I am going to call it quits here. If this thread springs to life, I might find something else worth listing, but this is the G/S/B stack that needs to go. I am happy to post more pics on request, and am always interested in hearing offers (especially on multiple books). Thanks for looking. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There is a faint NCB crease running up the right edge of the cover, stain near the 10c and some faint staining to the back cover bottom edge, and some pulling at the staples. $80 3 hours ago, elibowman said: Wilbur 29, 1950.

This one is a bit better at 3.0. Cover attached, but pulling. There is normal general wear, but nice and presentable, and certainly readable. $20 **NOW $15 Take per pm Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
elibowman Posted September 25, 2020 Author Share Posted September 25, 2020 (edited) All Star Comics 69, 1st Earth 2 Huntress. This one has a weird bindery defect. All pages there and well attached, but the sides before the CF stick out a bit. Thus, the sides after the fold are a bit recessed. Looks like spine roll, but it's not. The staples aren't really well placed either (see back pic to understand what I mean). Otherwise, maybe a 6.5 (not sure how to ding it for the bindery stuff). Some light spine stress, and a bit of edge wear along the bottom (not serious), and a NCB bend across the top right under "Presents The Legendary". You can see this last one in the glare of the last pic. $20 Edited September 25, 2020 by elibowman Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jonathan78 Posted September 25, 2020 Share Posted September 25, 2020 On 9/18/2020 at 5:49 PM, elibowman said: Crime And Punishment 26, 1950. Spine roll, corner chip, some surface wear. Several of the pages have been creased at some point, and don't want to lay flat when not in the bag. Could be fixed. 3.0 as it sits to me, but fix the roll and I think it's better. $12 **NOW $10 Take per pm Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

elibowman Posted September 25, 2020 Author Share Posted September 25, 2020 (edited) All Star Comics 70. This one does have a bit of spine roll, and that is the biggest defect. Some spine stress and other very light wear. I think it's at least a 6.0 as it sits, and probably could go higher. $5 Edited September 25, 2020 by elibowman Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
elibowman Posted September 25, 2020 Author Share Posted September 25, 2020 (edited) All Star Comics 73. This one has light general wear, especially along the spine, and some residual of some schmutz to the top of back cover. I think it's another 6.0. $3 Edited September 25, 2020 by elibowman Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
elibowman Posted September 25, 2020 Author Share Posted September 25, 2020 (edited) Last book (I think). Moon Knight 1. This one is 7.5 with spine stress being the issue. Good news is that very little (if any) is color breaking. Press it higher. The last pic shows the type of spine stress this book has in several places. $28 **SOLD!
