catrick339 Posted October 22, 2020 Author Share Posted October 22, 2020 (edited) So, there were a whole TWO precode horror books in the batch, both are going up in this handful. Vault of Horror 37 EC, 1954 Large split lower spine, all the way up to the lower staple. There appear to be two small pieces missing, they're both still present but folded under. Lower staple loose from cover. A shame, the rest of the book is pretty nice. Touch of spine roll, couple small dogears, bit of general wear. Interior is nice, tight with offwhite - white pages. Asking $50, FIRM. SOLD! Edited October 22, 2020 by catrick339 Fan Boy 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

catrick339 Posted October 22, 2020 Author Share Posted October 22, 2020 (edited) Fightin' Army 16 (#1) Pretty sharp copy with a really weird production flaw. Touch of stacking roll, small tear lower spine with dangling chad still firmly attached, light dust shadow upper edge BC. Glossy, tight spine and CF, clean, white pages, minor general wear. Here's the weird: Cover is on it upside down. I kid you not, open the front cover, you're looking at the last page of the book. Upside down. I've shown it to a couple other dealers, they all agree it's production. Weird, huh? I know there are folks out there who collect comics with production flaws, this one is a beauty. Asking $75 SOLD!

catrick339 Posted October 22, 2020 Author Share Posted October 22, 2020 (edited) This might be the biggest book of the thread. The United States Marines 7 M. E., 1952 This is THE classic flamethrower cover, IMO, as Our Heroes flame up a bunch of Dirty Commies in full color. Prices have been blowing up on this book, the last two GPA sales were a 4,.0 in May at $790, and a 3.5 in August at $675. This one should grade somewhere right in there. There are no major flaws, just some general wear, enough to keep it juuust below midgrade. If it doesn't sell here I'm sending it off for a press and a slab. Whiff of stacking roll, general wear, Jim's signature as usual. Tight spine and CF, offwhite pages. Priced to move at $600, and yeah, I'm FIRM on this one. SOLD! EDIT: Adding BC scan plus CF scan, per request Edited October 22, 2020 by catrick339 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
catrick339 Posted October 22, 2020 Author Share Posted October 22, 2020 (edited) Here's the second, and last, PCH book Mysteries Weird and Strange #1 Classic PCH book, and this is only the SECOND book out of the batch that I've found that has the CF missing, Sigh... Spine roll, tear RH edge FC, small corner off upper RH FC, tear LH edge BC, general wear. And a missing centerfold. Mutter, grumble. Who wants a reader with a great cover for $20? SOLD!
