Marvel Tales #108, 1952. I have this one a step higher than the last, at 3.5. Body of the cover is very nice with minimal wear, and great colors. Chip at bottom spine (both front and back), blunted corners, chip at the top, and just a bit of age on the covers and pages. Still supple, but not as white as the last book. Still, complete and solidly attached. I could easily see calling this 4.0. Better cover (IMO) and a bit nicer overall than the last...

Since @Raze took one, the first bundle is off. 

 

But, no traction on the other two...let's try $90 **NOW $80** shipped for the two remaining EC mags.

I'll take the two EC mags, please!

Mystic #36, 1955. I bought this one as a 5.0 in one of those super popular sales on these boards. I think some moisture exposure just got missed (nothing nefarious, just a miss of a flaw). I never complained/returned, so my loss your gain. Structurally very solid with a good spine, but waviness to the front cover, and some interior cover staining (not affecting pages). You can't see the staining from the front since the cover is so dark. Easy 5.0 without the waviness, but I am going to call it a 4.0. I will try and represent in spoiler pics so it's easy to see.

 

$70  **FINAL PRICE $60**  **SOLD**

Mystery Tales #24, 1955. This one has a little label from Comic Connect calling it a 2.0 with notes: "Second City Collection brittle spine, Joe Maneely cover, Paul Reinman art". I think it's a 1.5-1.8, but it's complete, and mostly attached (top staple pulled through).

Mystery Tales #22, 1954. This one is also rough. Color loss from front, creasing, edge wear, and an interior piece missing that affects the art (see spoiler). 1.5 for me.

 

$50  **FINAL PRICE $42**  **SOLD**

Mystery Tales #2, 1953. I had pulled this back out of the stack to hold on to it, but putting it back in now. I won't mind keeping it. Solid copy that is complete and attached, but the spine is beginning to split between the staples. Very weak there, and a couple spots have broken loose. Otherwise very nice, with minimal surface wear, and great color/gloss. I have it as a 3.0. 

 

$220  **SOLD**

I think that does it on GA material. I might look one more time through, but I doubt I find much more at this point. I am going to let this sit for a day or so.

 

If there is anything listed PRIOR TO 7/13 (that is everything except those last four books) that HAS NOT been price adjusted, then you can take 10% off that price. Anything that has been adjusted should be obvious, and is not discounted further at this time.

The Spirit #10, 1947, Quality Comics, awesome Crandall cover that would be even better if it just had less monkey. This is the last of the Quality issues that I have, and easily the best condition. Flat, and great color with minimal surface wear. Dust shadow along the top front and also top and bottom on the back, tiny tear at the top of the spine, bit of spine roll, solid staples. Let's call it a 5.0.

 

$100  **FINAL PRICE $78**
