elibowman Posted October 5, 2022 Share Posted October 5, 2022 (edited) I have a small stack of raw GA books I am looking to move. Some of these are reruns at lower prices, and some I haven't offered here. 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 envelopes at $10.20 (recent price increases by USPS). If we have to go to a box, then flat rate medium size is easiest at $17.05 in the US. I can work with you on a different solution, but that will be standard unless otherwise noted. Insurance is they buyer's choice (above the standard $50), and will cost whatever the USPS 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 18, 2022 by elibowman Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
elibowman Posted October 5, 2022 Author Share Posted October 5, 2022 (edited) Battle Cry #2, Stanmor Publications, 1952. This is a tough book, with only three blue labels out there (no GPA info, and not much I can find out there on comps). This one is really nice, laying very flat, complete and attached. Great color and gloss, and really stellar pages. There is some aging to the edges of the covers, but minimal wear. I think it's at least a 6.0. $145 **SOLD to @IngelsFan** Spoiler Spoiler Spoiler Edited October 5, 2022 by elibowman Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
elibowman Posted October 5, 2022 Author Share Posted October 5, 2022 (edited) Battle Cry #3, Stanmor Publications, 1952. Tough, atomic age war book with only three blue labels on the census. This one is solid and complete, and lays very flat. Nicely presenting copy. Some pulling of the cover at the bottom staple, but still attached. Minimal surface wear, a bit of edge wear to top back, and some aging around the perimeters of the covers. Pages are, again, very nice. I had this book at 4.0, but I think you could go a half step higher even. $70 **SOLD to @IngelsFan** Spoiler Spoiler Spoiler Edited October 5, 2022 by elibowman Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
elibowman Posted October 5, 2022 Author Share Posted October 5, 2022 (edited) Crime Exposed #4, 1951, Marvel. Relatively tough to find book with only 3 copies on the CGC census. This is a solid copy with general wear. The front cover has pulled through the bottom staple, a couple creases, corner chip on the back, some stacking roll, but nice overall. I think it’s a 4.0, but maybe a 3.5. $45 **NOW $39** Edited October 13, 2022 by elibowman Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
elibowman Posted October 5, 2022 Author Share Posted October 5, 2022 (edited) Crime Smashers #10, 1952, Trojan Magazines. This is a solid copy that has plenty of general wear. The centerfold is detached, but well attached otherwise. There is some discoloration to the staples can be seen on the back. WILD interior contents. I think it’s a 3.0 on lots of general wear. $75 **NOW $65** Edited October 13, 2022 by elibowman Larryw7 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
elibowman Posted October 5, 2022 Author Share Posted October 5, 2022 (edited) Exciting War #6, Pines (Standard), 1952. Wild, flamethrower cover. Complete and attached. Piece of tape on the interior of the front cover repairing a small tear at the top edge (to the left of the word "BLAZING"). There is an impact to the cover in the flamethrower guy's fuel pack that goes through the cover (no paper loss, and presents nicely). Production crease on the cover that has a small tear at the right edge (just above the green cylinder). Decent spine, but bit of a miswrap. Some aging apparent around the cover edges, but pages are very nice. I think 3.5. 12 blue labels on the census. $430 **NOW $405** Edited October 13, 2022 by elibowman Black Bat and Raze 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
elibowman Posted October 5, 2022 Author Share Posted October 5, 2022 (edited) Humdinger Vol. 1 #4, 1946, Novelty Press. I bought this locally as a Fine, and I think that is about right. Front really pops with color on the interesting art. Back cover has some wear, and the top staple is pulling. Complete and attached. $45 **NOW $39** Edited October 13, 2022 by elibowman PopKulture and Larryw7 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
elibowman Posted October 5, 2022 Author Share Posted October 5, 2022 (edited) Jungle Comics #15, 1941, Fiction House. This is an amazing book that is complete, but lower grade. Cover has some minor splitting and is detached. There is a small hole in the front cover in her skirt that also impacts the first page. There is also a small hole in the back cover in the green box that impacts the last three pages. The interior is complete and attached, but the centerfold is pulled through at the bottom staple only. There is a margin tear in the back (page 57/58) that barely extends into the art with no paper missing. Presents nicely, with supple pages and no major pieces missing. I think it’s a 2.5. $475 **SOLD to @Spyder!** Spoiler Spoiler Spoiler Edited October 5, 2022 by elibowman Zolnerowich, Spyder!, Black Bat and 1 other 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
elibowman Posted October 5, 2022 Author Share Posted October 5, 2022 (edited) Jungle Comics #30, 1942, Fiction House. This is a solid copy of a very difficult book to find. The limiting factor on the grade will be the piece missing from the top right corner of the front cover. Leaving that aside, the spine is tight and well attached, with just a bit of roll. There is good color, with a small amount of paper aging, but it remains supple and very readable. I think it’s a 5.0-5.5 book WITHOUT the missing piece. Technical grade suffers greatly from the missing piece. Let's go with 5.5Q or 2.0 or less on a blue label. This book presents much higher. $175 **NOW $155** Edited October 13, 2022 by elibowman Point Five 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post elibowman Posted October 5, 2022 Author Popular Post Share Posted October 5, 2022 (edited) Modern Love #1 (1949, EC). Feldstein cover.

Complete and attached. Seems better than 2.0 to me, but not by much. Let's go with 2.5 (though I wanted to say 3.0). Happy to provide more/different pics upon request.

elibowman Posted October 5, 2022 Author Share Posted October 5, 2022 (edited) Mysterious Stories #4, Premier Magazines, 1955. Really nice copy. Spine wear, but minimal wear to the body of the cover. Deep colors and good gloss. Pages are very nice, but there is some aging to the edges of the covers including a dust shadow on back. Grease pencil "X" in the CCA box. Complete and attached. Only four blue labels on the census. I think this one is 4.5...maybe nicer. $115 **SOLD to @N e r V** Spoiler Spoiler Spoiler Edited October 5, 2022 by elibowman Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
elibowman Posted October 5, 2022 Author Share Posted October 5, 2022 (edited) Public Enemies #3, DS Publishing, 1948. Another solid and complete book, Some minor spine wear including a tiny split below the bottom staple, small ink mark under 10c and a pencil check mark on front cover, nice pages, but some minor tanning to edges of interior covers, back cover staple tears but still attached. Seems at least 4.0 to me, and maybe better. $95 **NOW $88** Edited October 13, 2022 by elibowman PopKulture 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
elibowman Posted October 5, 2022 Author Share Posted October 5, 2022 (edited) Rugged Action complete four issue series from 1954/1955, Atlas Comics. Awesome run of a more obscure Atlas title. This complete run features art by Maneely, Burgos, Sinnot, Heck and Harry Anderson. Paper aging on all with #1 and #4 having the worst of it. #1 has a completely split and detached cover with chipping and tanning, but complete interior. #2 is pretty solid with some chipping on the back. #3 is the nicest of this run at maybe 5.5 range. #4 has more tanning or it would be as nice as #3…maybe 4.5 range. $210 **NOW $180** Edited October 13, 2022 by elibowman Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
elibowman Posted October 5, 2022 Author Share Posted October 5, 2022 (edited) Saddle Justice #8, EC, 1949.

elibowman Posted October 5, 2022 Author Share Posted October 5, 2022 (edited) The Spirit #4, Fiction House, 1953. This book is just beautiful. Great bondage cover, with spectacular colors and gloss. Flat, tight, complete with a great spine. TINY bit of edge wear (see above "A.N.C.", bottom right corner, and right below The Spirit's hind end), spectacular pages. 14 on the census, with four at 8.0 to top it. Feels like this has a great shot to be in that range, or possibly even half a step better. One of the 8.0s sold June of '21 for $1,320. $515 **NOW $490** Edited October 13, 2022 by elibowman comicnoir, Raze and KCOComics 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
elibowman Posted October 5, 2022 Author Share Posted October 5, 2022 (edited) Spy Thrillers complete four issue series from 1954/1955, Atlas Comics. These seem to be tougher to find books. All show significant aging, but are complete and (aside from #1) attached. #1 has a completely split and detached cover. Some spine splitting on #2, but just a couple inches at the top. #3 and #4 are both better in the 4.0-5.0 range. Aging is the issue on those last two, with the structure being very nice. $210 **NOW $180** Edited October 13, 2022 by elibowman PopKulture 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
elibowman Posted October 5, 2022 Author Share Posted October 5, 2022 (edited) Underworld #1, DS Publishing,1948. Cover is really nice with the wear confined to the spine, and the back. Date in pencil in the "N" in Underworld, tearing at the staples, but still attached, staining back cover, interior showing some age around the edges. I think it's a 4.0, and presents nicer. Only 14 blue labels on the census. $195 **NOW $180** Edited October 13, 2022 by elibowman SOTIcollector, Raze and Larryw7 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
elibowman Posted October 5, 2022 Author Share Posted October 5, 2022 (edited) Underworld #6, DS Publishing, 1949. This one is lower grade with the cover still attached, but precariously. Plenty of wear, spine split at the top about 2”, some interior damage. Seems like a 2.0 to me, but I would lean lower instead of higher on this. Only a single blue label on the census. $45 *NOW $39** Edited October 13, 2022 by elibowman Larryw7 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
