Big thanks to everyone who purchased books from this thread, it's been a huge help!!

Unfortunately dark clouds are fast approaching off the horizon, so I'm looking to sell some of my non-core collection books to get the jump on their arrival.  Everything will be fine in the end, but these next few months are likely to be a slog.  So when life gives you lemons, cut one up and put a slice in your favorite hefeweizen.

Necessities first:

Payment:  In addition to PayPal, I will also accept check / money order / Zelle, though the book will be held until clearance.  Payment generally due within 10 business days.  However, time payments are an option for purchases $750+.  PM me in advance to discuss though.

Shipping (domestic):  Book(s) will be shipped via insured USPS priority mail.  Domestic shipping is included in the listed price.

International Shipping - exact cost, minus the US shipping cost.  Please inquire first for an accurate quote. 

Returns:  No returns on CGC books as you know what you're getting.  For the raws, returns accepted if we wildly disagree on grade or I fail to disclose a significant flaw.  Any raw returns need to be requested within a week of receipt. 

On the HoS?  Probation list?  Or I simply don't like you (aka on my ignore list)?  Don't bother.

Can provide board references if needed (no name dropping here), and over 1700 positive eBay feedback as well -- https://feedback.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewFeedback2&userid=792mn.  And I've got a fledgling kudos thread started (link is in my profile page).

First :takeit:wins the book outright, well reasoned offers always considered.  I'll be listing throughout the weekend, so check in periodically.  Onward!

We'll kick off with a book I had up previously -- Batman 30, a 4.0 blue label with ow/w pages.  Great WWII cover featuring both Batman and Robin. 

As you might expect with early Golden Age, there isn't much sales precedent to cite.  A 3.5 with white pages went for $565 on eBay last month, and the Reece family has a 4.0 up at $500 currently.  In the interest of quick movement, let's call this book...

SOLD to @allthingskryptonite

And now for something completely different.  If you can't own an X-Men 9 signed by Stan Lee, get the next best thing!  This one I wouldn't be selling if I didn't also have #9.

X-Men Annual 1, a 9.0 yellow label with white pages.  Reprints X-Men 9, featuring the first meeting of the X-Men and Avengers.  Signed by Stan Lee on 4/22/2017.

A 9.2 blue label went for $317 in the most recent ComicLink auction, and a 9.0 for $165 on eBay a few weeks ago.  Sum the two, carry the 1, divide by pi, multiply by the Stan Lee signature...

Let's say SOLD to @Skunkboy

Sticking with the X-Men --  I'll keep 14.  I'll keep 16.  But you can buy 15.

X-Men 15, 1st Mastermold, 2nd Sentinels.  A 6.5 yellow label that was signed by Stan Lee on 8/23/2014.  

eBay shows that a 3.5 signed by Stan sold for $400 just the other day.  With that in mind, I'm going put the ask on this one at...

SOLD to @gunsmokin

Alright, let's keep the good times rolling!  First up today...

Tales of Suspense 39, blue NG (coverless), with off-white pages.  I thought it would be cool to own both a regular and a coverless since this book has such a great splash page, but unfortunately, of the two this one is the collection luxury.  A C/OW coverless on eBay -- Tales of Suspense #39 CGC NG Coverless 1st app. Iron Man Lee Lieber Marvel 1963 | eBay -- fetched $1250 a couple weeks ago.  I think my copy offered here presents a bit better, so let's put the ask at...

Sold by PM

Fast forwarding to the Bronze Age briefly -- Marvel Tales 98, reprints Amazing Spider-Man 121.  9.4 yellow.  MT 99 won the debate of which book I would keep.

This one isn't as much about the book as it is the signatures -- John Romita, Sr. (cover and art) and Gerry Conway (writer).  Last word I heard was that Sr. would no longer be signing, so this is a great opportunity to pick up a double signature at an affordable price (an unsigned 9.4 of ASM 121 would probably run you into the four figures).

Let's say sold to @spideyfan68

Back to DC we go -- Flash 123, "Flash of Two Worlds", an issue once charmingly featured in an episode of The Big Bang Theory.  4.0 blue with off-white pages.

Pricing on this book seems to be all over the place, so I'll say SOLD to @Mike maio by PM

Last signature series X-Men book I plan to post in this thread -- X-Men 42, 8.0 yellow with ow/w pages, signed by writer Roy Thomas.  "Death" of Professor X.  What, a comic publisher lie about the death of a character?  The hell you say!!!

Sold by PM

Last one for now, so let's wrap on a high note -- Batman 227, classic cover swipe of Detective 31.  I have two of these, both 6.5s no less, so one can go...

I see a couple of 7.0s have recently sold for $600 on eBay, with this guy having white pages, let's call it SOLD to @DocSaum
