Closed - Pure Carp - Closed 5 5

[lizards2]

OK - somehow I bought two slabbed copies of this next book, and cracked out the second one before I knew I had the first one. Did someone mention dementia? Yeah, present and accounted for, SIR!.

Fight the Enemy 3 Deslabbed CGC 9.2 OW pages $70.  
Date stamp FC. Beautiful date stamp, I might add. Nicely placed, no feet on the furniture.
Very nice copy – Kill a commie for yo Mommy. 
(Cracked out / removed from slab - label will be included - rage against the census!! ) 
Speaking of which, this would be one of the five best copies, if you looked at the census.

Continuing with a few war-themed books:

Weird War Tales 2 cracked out CGC 8.5 OW/W pages.  Such a cool title is Weird War Tales!!!
My opinion: OW pages 8.5/9.0, wear LRFC, ruffle @ URFC, slightly dirty BC, $95.

[lizards2]

Weird War Tales 5 cracked out CGC 8.5 white pages.  
My opinion: OW pages 8.5, ruffling & wear URFC/LRFC, curling tips ULBC/LLBC, $65.  

[lizards2]

Weird War Tales 10 cracked out CGC 9.6 white pages.  
My opinion: OW pages 9.6, $150.
Beautiful copy & Parachute Cover!!!
Whatever happened to my good friend and boardie, paratrooper?  

[lizards2]

I haven't looked at this one yet as far as my opinion of grade and pq, but I suck at grading anything below around an 8.0 anyway.
Besides, when you want my opinion to compare to the gawd almighty graders at CGC, I figure you will hunt me down and beat it out of me. 
But, I am worried about losing the (limited) attention of all the Marvel zombies (zuvembies - do you remember that?) while I post DC and War books.
Strange Tales 102 Cracked out CGC 6.5 OW/W Pages $295
Second Hummin' Torch in title!!!

[lizards2]

 SOLD!!!  to speedcake

Avengers 102 deslabbed CGC 9.2 OW/W pages $66.
A couple of spine tics and green distributor overspray.
Might be a 9.4 if graded by CGC today.
Heck, might be a 9.6 tomorrow.

Creatures on the Loose 35 9.2 slightly OW pages $70.
Very nice, clean and glossy. Light spine tics, micro-crease @ LRFC.
Bought as a 9.4 off the boards. Very tough book in high grades.
The Man-Wolf has lots of heat lately!!!
Just a beautiful cover, in my opinion.
 

[lizards2]

Creatures on the Loose 37 9.0 slightly OW pages $70.
Light spine tics lower half of book, small dint @ LRFC thru to LLBC.
Two pressure dents FC/BC. Very clean and white.
Very difficult to find in high grade – last issue of series with Man-Wolf.
I’ve tried to find this book in high grade forever, and as per usual, ended up with two in a short time-frame.
Let me save you that ordeal.

Good night friends and frenemies

Easier to get back and forth across the border now, too.

Yeah - whew. There I was minding my own business, scanning books and drinking Wild Turkey...,,
then I came to, two days later in a barn in Tijuana.  I had a banging head, but these two Baba Looeys
gave me five stars on Yelp! Luckily, it's really easy to get back in these days - especially in my frostback disguise.

Anyway, I have been INUNDATED with requests from two whole boardies on other books. Plus, I've shipped out
two metric carp-tons of outer wells from my giveaway thread out in the dustbowl known as "Mixed".  

Anyway again, I will try to post a few more books tonight.

Daredevil 15 8.5 OW pages $125.
Spine tics upper staple area, light wear to URFC/LRFC.
Some moisture-like smears, almost like the ones you see on a bad press job,
above and to right of white jersey BB player BC. A book that looks 9.0 in mylar.
I just cracked out a CGC 9.4 and the moisture-like smears were the deciding factor on which one to keep.
This is a pretty nice book.

Daredevil 61 8.5+/9.0- slightly OW pages $49.
Handling wear, slight spine tics, small schmutz schmear at top of “R” in Daredevil.

 SOLD!!!  to speedcake

Hulk 119 CGC 9.0 OW/W pages $75.
Spine tics by black box FC, light wear LRFC & top edge.
I would call it a 9.0, but current CGC grading might give it a 9.2.
Maximus the Mildly Irritating Appearance!  A little tougher than jock itch.
