elibowman Posted October 1, 2021 Share Posted October 1, 2021 (edited) I bought a large collection that ranged all over the place. I have a stack of Classic Comics/Classics Illustrated that I don't collect. Most are slabbed, but a couple raws, too. Any additional pics can be requested, and I am happy to provide. I will run just a short thread here (maybe only through the weekend depending on interest) before moving these to (fe)eBay. I also have a Copper/Modern thread running, and a thread in Mixed with figures/statues. I am happy to combine shipping from any of these. RULES: PayPal is easiest, but I'll take a check or MO if that's what you want. US shipping is via USPS Priority I like the flat rate legal sized envelope for raw books, so that's $8.25. Slabs ship at $15.50 for as many as will fit in the Medium Flat Rate box. If you buy enough to need more than that, I will cap your US shipping at $20. Insurance is they buyer's choice, and will cost whatever the USPS/UPS/FedEx rate is. 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. Edited October 4, 2021 by elibowman Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
elibowman Posted October 1, 2021 Author Share Posted October 1, 2021 (edited) Classic Comics #1 (HRN28), 1946. Solid and attached with the appropriate 16 wraps plus the cover. This copy is probably a 4.5, maybe 5.0. Very supple pages. $35 Edited October 1, 2021 by elibowman Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
elibowman Posted October 1, 2021 Author Share Posted October 1, 2021 (edited) Classic Comics #2 (HRN28), 1946. Also solid and well attached with 16 wraps and the cover. This copy looks better with good colors. However, there is a small corner piece missing at the bottom right front. Also, the pages in this area are tanned a bit. This doesn't impact the full page, but whatever aged the paper is probably to blame for the corner piece missing. Overall, it looks better than the #1, but probably the same technical grade....4.5ish. $30 Edited October 1, 2021 by elibowman Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

elibowman Posted October 1, 2021 Author Share Posted October 1, 2021 (edited) Classic Comics #5, original edition, interior cover promo variant, 1942. Kind of rough, but complete. Pieces missing from the spine, tear along the right edge of the cover that is probably 6" (see spoiler), creasing, etc. Cover detached from top staple, but still holding at the bottom. But the colors are great, the pages are really nice, and it's a rare one. Seems like a 1.8, maybe 1.5 to me. Last graded sale that I can find of the variant was a 2.0 in Oct of 2004 for $161. I have no clue where this should be priced, so (admittedly) guessing... $225 Spoiler Edited October 1, 2021 by elibowman Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

elibowman Posted October 1, 2021 Author Share Posted October 1, 2021 That is it for now. I have four more (#s 20, 56, 63, 66, all original editions) where the cases were damaged in transit. Trying to figure those out. But, thanks for looking. I will probably close this up by Monday. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I know, because it was mine until I decided to bail on my quest for a variant-complete collection of Classics and cashed out what I'd put together. If you're tempted to take up that banner, don't be put off by the 1.8ness of this book; it is absolutely a quest to find this one in any condition elibowman and SOTIcollector 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
