Crimebuster's Trading Challenge - TRADE ONLY! X-Men #244, Spawn #1, Micronauts #1, Kirby 4th World, Miller DD +more! 2 2

[Crimebuster]

Hello!

Welcome to my Trading Challenge!

A while ago I began a crazy endeavor: starting with a pool of 20 books from dollar bins, I'm trying to trade up to get an All-Star Comics #8. 

Along the way, if my trading pool drops below 20 books, I can fill those empty slots with more dollar bin finds. 

So this combines two of my favorite things about collecting: trading with other collectors, and searching for cool books in dollar bins!

 

In this thread, I'm going to be offering up some of my current trade pool books for TRADE ONLY. That's one of the rules of the challenge! But another is that I am not keeping anything for myself until I get that All-Star #8, which means that I DON'T CARE WHAT I RECEIVE. I'm just trying to raise the dollar value of my pool by trading and by clearing up slots to add new finds. 

That means I will accept ANY books that meet my trading price. I don't care what title, character, era, artist, anything - whatever you have, I'm up for it. I'm just going to be looking at value alone. 

So if you have some books that are worth a little bit but don't fit your collection, and you see something here you want, send me an offer and we can help each other out! You get something you want more, and I get closer to my insane goal! 

 

A couple necessary rules for the boards: we will each cover the shipping for our half of the deal, so I will pay to send you the books I am trading to you, and you will pay to ship the books you are sending to me. If there's any problem in terms of wanting to return the books - which I don't expect - we can do it and we each pay return shipping. However! I will need to know within one day of the book being delivered, because I am constantly trading, and anything I get in may go out very, very quickly afterwards. So I might not have the book any more if I don't hear immediately that there's an issue.  

With most of these books and lots, I am trying to trade for 1 book - a lot for 1, or 5 for 1, etc. as I'm trying to consolidate to free up some slots in my trading pool. I will list both the price and the number of books I am looking for. But I am open to other offers, so go ahead and throw something my way. 

 

Let's do some trading!!

Sweet Tooth #1 - 6.5  TRADED!!

$80 - looking for one (or possibly 2) book in trade

 

This is super hot right now thanks to the recent Netflix announcement. Hard to put a value on it - high grade copies are selling for close to $200 on ebay at the moment. This one has a couple issues - one large spine ding in the center of the spine, small cb tick bottom spine, tiny cb crease bottom right fc, and a non cb bend through book in upper right corner. The last can be pressed out, and probably will disappear just from having it stores correctly for awhile with a backing board. As it sits, though, I think 6.5 is about right. I'm seeing lower grade copies sold recently for $60-67 on ebay, so I think $80 for this copy is a fair trade value.

X-Men #244 - 9.0

$55 - looking for 1 book in trade

 

a 9.8 just sold for $710! Which is crazypants. This has a couple or three spine ticks that prevent it from reaching those heights, but it's a really nice copy.

Daredevil #227-233 - Born Again lot - avg 7.5/8.0

$55 - looking for 1 book in trade

 

This is a really nice lot of the complete, classic Born Again run on Daredevil from Frank Miller and David Mazzuchelli. Lots like this seem to sell on ebay in the $55-60 range, so that's what I'm looking for!

Jack Kirby lot 

$100 - looking for 1-2 books in trade

 

The Omac #1 is around a 9.0/9.2, unread new old stock that could use a cleaning. The grades of the others vary wildly. Some are very nice (Omac #2-3, New Gods 9, Forever People 11), others are low grade, and everything in between. 

This lot contains 21 Kirby books from his time at DC: Omac #1-7, New Gods #5, 7-10. Forever People #2-9, 11

Copper/Modern Speculation Lot

$75 - looking to trade the whole lot for 1 book

 

I will also consider breaking up the lot, but I'd like to trade at last 2 of these at a time up for 1. So I've listed the individual trade values as well

 

$30 - Spawn #1 - 9.2/9.4 - has a spine tick

$20 - Micronatus #1 - 8.5 - Whitman variant

$15 - Rai #0 - 9.4 ncb dimple

$10 - GrimJack #1 - 8.5 - a couple light bends - might be pressable? Amazon show in development!

Okay, that's it for now. Feel free to send me your PMs!

Remember, anything goes, I don't care what it is, whether it's ice cold or obscure - if it's worth the stated value, I'm here for it. 

If this goes well, I will be bringing more books to trade next round one this batch of trading is completed.

Let's do some trading!

I've added individual book trade values to the four books in the speculation lot, and will consider offers for any combination of at least 2 of them, though my preference is to trade all 4 at once. 

Additionally, I've decided to just throw in the Magik #1 as a freebie to whoever claims it first after a completed trade!

Magik #1 has been claimed!
