PreHero Posted December 24, 2021 Author Share Posted December 24, 2021 (edited) Comedy #13 (G) $70. $60. $50. $45. $40. Cool Nazi story - filler copy. Taped spine, CF loose, bottom corners off 3/4ths pgs, bottom pgs brittle, dirty BC, I'm guessing this is not original staple - don't know, but let's assume it's not, C/OW pgs.

PreHero Posted December 24, 2021 Author Share Posted December 24, 2021 (edited) Vault of Horror #19 (VG+): $400. SOLD! Copy looks Fine, but warping lowers grade. Really bright colors and gloss on covers! CF loose top staple, books has a slight waviness (moisture exposure?), warping FC, book is slightly stiff, warping top FC, creasing along spine, OW Pgs. "Waviness" hard to describe/show - took a photo to try to show on URHC. Scanner "smooths" FC waves, so be sure to look at last image.

Cobbledclam Posted December 24, 2021 Share Posted December 24, 2021 Amazing assortment of truly scarce items and a cross section of genres. Wow what a fun thread for the real meat and potatoes collectors of rarely seen. It’s like a 1978 comic con! And mostly affordable examples to boot! I wish I had seen a couple of them prior to getting snatched up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
