Time to thin the herd just a bit. Not sure where this will go. I have a few early issues of Mad, and a stack of pre-code crime set aside. Who knows what else I might throw in.

 

RULES:

 

PayPal is easiest, but I'll take a check or MO if that's what you want.

 

US shipping for raw books is $4.50 for one book via USPS 1st Class. I can add a book to that for about $0.75 each until we hit either four or five books. Then we switch to a flat rate envelope, and then the flat rate box, etc. US shipping on raw books is capped at $14.65. I can ship slabs for about $13 in the US with Priority. If you want to go to the flat rate box, $14.65 for all it will hold. If you want something else, happy to work with you. I will ship outside the US. I'm not trying to make any money on shipping, so I am happy to work with you, but 100% of the cost will be on you.

 

I'll accept returns, but shipping is on the buyer unless I made an error in the listing.

 

First “I’ll take it” in the thread wins, and those would trump any ongoing PM negotiations.

 

 No buyers from the bad lists.

 

Let me know if I missed anything.

Boards are being sketchy....might only get one or two listed until this resolves.

Mad #11, 1954. Looks like a 2.0 range book to me. Top staple pulled through the cover, bottom attached. Chipping, dust shadow, a bit of paper loss at both top and bottom of spine. Well read, and showing its age, but complete and attached (save that staple I already noted).

Mad #13, 1954; cover completely split and detached, though complete. Interior has fared better, and is well attached. Some fading, brittleness and chipping. Low grade at 1.0 in my opinion, though I guess the complete spine split could drop it further.

Mad #17, 1954, another low grade, but complete book. Spine has a lot of splitting, including up to bottom staple, and down from top about 2". Still attached, but not very well. Interior is complete and attached, with some minor staining. 1.8-1.5 depending on your view of the splitting.

Mad #20, 1955, better than the last two, but that's a low bar. Spine split up to bottom staple, and down about 2", but middle holding. Chipping as can bee seen. Complete and attached interior. I think it's a 2.0.

That's all for the Mad issues. I have to deal with some work stuff. I will hopefully add some other books later today. In the meantime, if you want all four low grade Mad issues, I will go $115 NOW $105 **NOW $88** shipped in the US on the lot.

 

** FINAL PRICE $78 shipped for all four Mad in the US**

Back to it for a couple more books. Looks like I am already deviating from the Mad -> PC Crime plan that I had. At least the next couple are golden age.

 

Captain Easy #11, 2.5 (maybe 3.0). Looks better, but some spine issues. There is spine wear with some paper loss (almost looks like it could be chew to the back, but very tiny). Front cover has pulled from both staples, but back is attached. The body  of the book looks great with good color. 

 

$30  NOW $25 NOW $22 **FINAL PRICE $20**

Captain Easy #16, 1949, pretty sharp copy. Some sort of crayon or pen that has been attempted to be erased (wasn't me), a stain near the woman's head, the fold isn't quite right (maybe spine roll, but doesn't look like it...maybe correctable), really nice pages, and solidly attached. I think it's a 5.0.

 

$33  **SOLD PER PM**

How ‘bout some of those crime books?

[elibowman]

Blending PC Crime with PC Horror on the next one. 

 

Crime Mysteries #11, 1954, Ribage, solid/complete/attached copy. Corner missing from the top right, writing in three different places on the logo, small tear bottom edge near spine, tiny spine split at the top, some minor fading to the orange. I think it's a 3.0.

Justice Comics #21, 1951, low grade and missing centerfold to boot. But, most of the good stuff is there. Asking what I paid (and the price sticker is still on the bag).

 

$5

Justice Comics #23, 1951, complete and attached. The front cover has the bulk of the wear with a couple significant creases and a 2" tear going in from the right edge. Spine has some wear, but intact and attached. Interior is nice, and back cover is pretty sharp. 3.5 to be safe, but I really think it may be a 4.0.

Justice Comics #26, 1952, really nice copy that would be the highest graded (partly because there aren't any graded, but it is still nice). I think it's a 5.5-6.0. Great color, arrival date written in pencil, some spine wear, but not too bad, complete and well attached, back cover also sharp. 

 

$50

Justice Comics #30, 1952, CGC 4.5 OW. This one IS the highest (only) graded copy. Brodsky cover.

My slab photos stink. Sorry. Let me know if you need something else

Justice Comics #38, 1953, Brodsky cover. This one has some spine wear, bottom staple pulled through, edge chipping including a moderate sized piece missing from the back, spine split at the bottom not quite up to the bottom staple. Attached at the top, and interior. I have it at 3.0.

 

$18

Justice Comics #42, 1954, Romita art inside. I believe this one would be the highest graded, as there is only a single 4.5 on the census. I think this one would just edge it out at 5.0 (or at least tie for top slot). Spine wear is the biggest hit, blunted corners, large crease on the back cover, great color, and solid interior.

Justice Comics #47, 1954, Brodsky cover. This one would have a shot at the top spot since there is only one graded at 5.5, but I think it would fall just short. Great color and gloss on this, but spine and edge wear hold it back, dust shadow on back, pulling at the staples but still attached. Great copy.
