SLABS GPA if shown is a few months old [plus a YEAR more, pretty useless now]. A handful have scuffs, will try best to mention, pls also look carefully- - some pics might be missing (eg back cov.) but more pics avail on request

Will show GPA, it's 3 nums in this order: 12 mos/90 day/last

E.g. $1000/-/950 means there was no sale reported in past 90 days.

Some pics may show some reflections, usually at bottom rt, sorry.

POSSIBLE TRADE OPPORTUNITY

As mentioned to Gene above, I still have books on my want list, including a couple of very big books, ASM 1 and JIM 83 to complete those runs, I'd want your copy in 2.0-3.5 range, but with decent appearance (e.g. no tatter). Be willing to trade items listed in this thread, plus some personal copies of other books, shown below in spoiler as items I'd be willing to give in exchange.  Also need a few bronze books that keep me checking the Warren Oates threads, already crossed some others off thanks to him: Fear 8, MKF 41, Dr Strange 8, Marv Spot 16, ASM 347 (no idea where it went) - wanted in around 8.0, although great looking 6.0 reduced for technical reasons can work too sometimes.

--------------------------------------------------------------------

I'd trade some or all of these as needed, using comparable pricing metric (i.e. we'd both use same 90 day or 12 mos -or whatever we agree- to value our books; though we'd have to improvise re the GA books, pretty uncommon).

WBN 32 in 8.5
TOD 10 in 6.5
IM 55 in 9.0
Spirit 22 in 5.5
ShockSuspenstories 6 in 4.5
X-Men 1 in 1.5
DD 1 in 4.0 (not shown, but fine)
Reform School Girl nn in 1.5

I'd also love to acquire a Startling Comics 49, but then who wouldn't be curious about a pervert robot?

thread closed, spoilered trade offer

[grebal]

Star Wars 1 - 6 (1977) FN/+ lot, gorgeous and shiny $225  SOLD

Condition: 1 easy VF/NM with just light edge wear, except the bottom staple popped

2 looks about FN/+ w just moderate wear most notable at mid-spine and brc dogear and rounding, but blemishes on back cover so, what, reduce to 5.5 ?

3 -6 each at least FN, generally better, but short of VF. 

#s 3 and 5 show some stress at top staple, #4 is great but there’s a ding about 1 inch above bottom spine, and #6 shows wear at top rt. and bott. left corners.  If forced to predict min. CGC grade, would guess 6.5, 7.0, 6.5, 6.0 (#3-6, in that order).

 

See pics and scans, ask any questions, no hidden defects.

 

 

Spoiler includes complete front/back scans

Strange Adv 110 3.5  $65 

defects are mainly visible: some residue at top, a couple of stains, bottom left crunch, and pen arrival date; one of the few leftovers from my past threads, reduced by $10 from prior price (my cost was 75 too, it's not an 'investment' book imo).

 

 

[grebal]

Doctor Strange 169  9.0 oww  CGC  GONE

There is a 3 inch scuff across the front of case, around 1/3 up.

Also, book has ‘newtons.’  Assume pressed; I bought it here a few years back.

No sir. : (  Happy times to you as well!  That first pic was the preview around 5 years ago, only a handful of those are left (e.g. no ST110, sold one to Comicshrine and kept the other, or XMen 94 -sold all but the nicest one) etc., no WBN32 -unless I add a trade wanted post for ASM 1 or Startling 49 or something as I'm considering, for which I'd put up my 8.5 slab of Moon Knight's first with some other magillas. Just some of the Warlock keys left I think. Plus a few I'm forgetting, like an FF 100 or something that I'll post.

My bad; I meant the mailers pic, since the SA110 was there and offered I wondered about the others in it.

RIght!  Nah, SkOw bought the Carl Barks Scrooge my last thread, and down to my last ASM 121 and Batman, though good call! I did plan to list the Reform School Girl nn for not much more than I bought from the GGA champ, Rick Akers.  The IM 55 is sitting in a 9.0 slab and might be offered up with my DD 1 in 4.0 as incentives for that trade thing I mentioned, but it's my last copy so wd be hard parted.

Love it! First Ross Andru on Spidey, and that android is clearly (in the story) a Vision prototype.
