I’m offering some books I bought in the 1990’s.  Two Crippen collection Lou Fine Smash books and a White Mountain copy of Two Fisted Tales # 27.  

I confess I’m not used to leaving the confines of the Guide, but particularly the two Smash Comics have color and page quality that deserves a little extra bump. I mainly collected Golden Age in the late 70’s when I was a teenager, so I trust those books. But I did get back in to collecting during the late 90’s for a few years, I was out again after I kept finding that the Golden Age books I really wanted were repaired/fiddled with.

I have submitted some of the better Golden Age books I bought in the 1990’s in case I missed any restoration. Luckily among my submissions only a Marvel Mystery came back with light repairs to the back cover. But it would be the Marvel Mystery.

You can check out my rep on eBay, under edencam (my two kids names, not my only fans moniker). My last sales on eBay were in April. Though I have an EC up now.

 

The usual,

US buyers please.

Paypal only.

Will be shipped USPS Priority, free. With-in three days.

No returns, they are what they are.

It is technically the highest graded copy in the CGC database, but there are only three copies unrestored on CGC, so it’s not bragging too much, but still one could brag if one wanted.

Thanks all, great things to wake up to.  I'll DM you for details and my Paypal. ETC.  As difficult as it is to part with great comics, I'm glad to sell them here.

Great score Bounty! A friend and I were BOTH on the fence about that book! I only resisted because I already claimed the 19 and have a show coming up. That's a great one!(thumbsu

Thank you sir! 🙏

I don't have many from this run but I also have Jon Berks old copy of #3 which I simply adore 😍. Glad to add this copy. Great Bozo cover and some good interiors too. The first Midnight ("Spirit clone") don't hurt either. Fun book.

Cool, Jon's old copy of the "JAILBREAK" cover! Those are 2 great ones to start with! This 19 will be my only copy at present, as when a buddy started building the run, I sold him the few that I had, including the Larson #15 which I have first rights of refusal on if he should upgrade (it's got some work on it). I'll be watching to see if our host on this thread puts any more up!  (thumbsu
