I am actually kind of mad at myself for listing that last book, so I am going to stop for a while. Shoot me an offer on anything that seems off price-wise (especially on multiples). If any one book in the listed bundles sells, then the bundle deals are off (I hope that was obvious).

Ok...in an effort to get over letting that last book go, I am going to list a few more. 

 

Men Against Crime #5, 1951, Ace Magazines. This is a really sharp book. It needs a press, as some of the spine wear is non-color breaking. Good colors and gloss, flat, well attached, "S" written in pencil on cover. I think this is at least a 6.0 or 6.5 as it sits.

Spy Cases low grade lot of #5 and #19, 1951 and 1953, Atlas. #5 is very low grade at 1.0, but complete. Spine is pretty ragged, but it seems to be the worst of it. #19 is a 2.5, but some weird soiling, and a detached top staple are worth noting. (I will take some pics outside the bag if you want, but just trying to speed along).

 

$28 NOW $25 **NOW $20** for the pair.

Just as I am trying to go quicker, I have a list of to-dos for the wife and fam. Maybe later, maybe tomorrow I have a few more spy related titles, an issue of Wanted, and maybe a couple PC Horror books that I don't really want to sell, but I need the room/money.  

[elibowman]

Prices lowered in most places. I didn't adjust the Justice books, but I am thinking about it. Shoot me an offer if any of those strike you. Trying to get more listed today.

[elibowman]

One to restart today, and we will see how many I can get listed. 

 

Showcase #3, 1956, rough shape. Large spine split, cover detached at bottom staple, and barely hanging on at the top (so weak you should just consider it detached too), wrinkles, creasing, edge tears, and a large piece missing from the back cover. Rough, complete, interior well attached. I think it's a 1.0, but your mileage may vary.

All True Crime #51, 1952, Atlas. Tape the length of the spine, but looks preventative instead of reactionary. Name in pen on cover, general creasing and wear, no pieces missing, and all complete and attached. I think it's a 2.0.

Approved Comics #5, 1954, St. John. Norm Saunders painted parachute cover alert!! (for the record, comics.org says "?", but who else is it going to be?) Solid copy with good gloss. Miscut at the binder that you can see, surface wear, solid and tight. Complete copy that is well attached. Let's go 4.5, but she sure is pretty.

Crime Incorporated #2, 1950, Fox Feature, low grade. Spine is completely split and detached. It is reattached with three added staples, but only the top two are doing much. Chipping and other issues that don't really affect the grade from there. I know that OSPG says a full spine split gets 0.5, but this one doesn't seem to deserve such a bad grade just on appearance. It looks ok, and is complete, and pages are reasonably supple. 1.0?

Flash Gordon #4, 1950 , Harvey. Solid and well attached copy. White cover shows some aging around the edges, and some moderate surface wear. Grease pencil on the cover that looks to be some sort of shipping or arrival code, but not an obvious date. Let's call it a very nice 4.0.

Murder Incorporated, Vol 2 #2, 1950, Fox Feature. Low grade copy that I got here on the boards (from Gene, maybe? Rickster? Can't remember now). Very neat tape job on the spine that I believe was some old collector's calling card. Tape also reinforces the interior edges of the covers. Again, lots of care taken to do a neat job here. Lots of surface wear to go with it. No tears to speak of, and all attached. 1.8? Asking what I gave for it.

Humdinger Vol. 1 #4, 1946, Novelty Press. I bought this locally as a Fine, and I think that is about right. Front really pops with color on the interesting art. Back cover has some wear, and the top staple is pulling. Complete and attached.

That Murder Inc is a Pop Hollinger “rebuilt copy”. One of the first comic dealers and restorers. Google him. Interesting guy.
