Iron Man #47 VF+ : $200 NOW $175 SOLD

Probably the toughest BA Iron Man to find in high grade. Origin retold by Barry Smith.

This one is absolutely gorgeous and looks much better but small dings on lower corners that do not break colors and a little scratch with paper loss on right of the CCA stamp.

Tales of Suspense #49 VF+ : $1,500

Book was formerly a very early CGC 8.5 blue which I did crack to keep for my collection 20 years ago. I found a similar copy last year and after months of uncertainty about which one I would keep, I finally decided to sell this one.

Unfortunately, I was not keeping labels during those early years so there is no label included. I agree with the grade though; it looks better from the front cover but there is something on back cover near the lower staple. It looks like a faint stain at first glance but it doesn't go through the cover and after looking at it carefully it rather looks like some kind of abrasion.

Tales to Astonish #94 VF+ : $50

Hulk vs High Evolutionary

Look better but has light impact ding on upper left corner that does not break colors

[pickycollector]

Tales to Astonish #54 Fine+ : $50 SOLD

1st app. El Toro. Book looks like solid 8.5 from the front cover but has rust near staples and some foxing on the back cover which hammer the grade

I don't know if this book was pressed or not. Not many copies of this issue are available for sale. This one looks gorgeous for its technical grade.
