2022 Holiday FS thread: High grade GA/SA/BA (Summary and price reductions on pg. 1) 3 3

[pickycollector]

It's that time of the year again. Many high grade books from GA/SA/BA, some books with discounts, some not. Some books will be cheap, some will be expensive. Many new acquisitions, under-copies, books from my collection that I decided to sell and left-overs from past FS threads. This will be by far my biggest sales thread of 2022 and the quality of books offered in this thread could be among the best I had in the last 12 years. 

Listings begin modestly today and will continue in the coming weeks.

Here are terms:

People on the probation list, or that I may have on ignore, are not eligible to purchase. 

Raw books: All my raw books are unrestored and not pressed unless noted. All my raw books are accurately graded and your satisfaction is guaranteed or your money back (except shipping costs) as long as book is returned in same condition as sent within 7 days of receipt.

CGC books: Sales are final.

The first in this thread or via PM wins the book based on time stamp.

Time payments are possible but must be discussed before you make the purchase.

All prices are in USD.

Shipping cost depends of how many books you take, where you live and how you want this to be shipped:

1) 1-3 CGC books with $100 insurance and tracking number to the USA with strong packaging is estimated around $35.00.

2) 1-5 raw books (regular size) with $100 insurance and tracking number to the USA with strong packaging is estimated around $25.00.

I do accept PayPal, personal checks (may need to clear if I don't know you though) or international money orders. Paypal is fine for orders up to $1,500. For orders above that amount, checks or international money orders only.

To do things differently, I will list books in reverse alphabetical order, i.e. beginning with letter X and ending with letter A.

Today, I will list letters X and W.

[pickycollector]

Also, if you like a book listed but don't like its price, feel free to make me offers, the worst I can say is no.

Some books I may be more flexible on price than others, my answer will depend on which book you want, how many books you want, if the book remains unsold after a few days and of course, what I have drunk before.

X-Men #123 NM-/NM: $100

Spider-Man x-over

[pickycollector]

X-Men #64 NM- : $1,200

1st app. Sunfire

My personal copy. I bought this book 20 years ago from zillaf4

[pickycollector]

X-Men #50 NM+ : $3,800

Classic Steranko cover and probably one of the best X-Men covers of all time.

I never listed a SA book more beautiful than this one. Priced very high and obviously in no hurry to sell but this is probably one of the most gorgeous SA books that I have ever owned. Some people whom have seen the book in person think that it could grade CGC 9.8 even without any kind of pressing.

[pickycollector]

X-Men #27 NM- : $400

Spider-Man appearance

Another purchase from zillaf4 20 years ago.

[pickycollector]

World's Finest Comics #141 VF- : $70

1st app. of new Bat-suit with yellow chest emblem

[pickycollector]

World's Finest Comics #132 F/VF: $30

[pickycollector]

World's Finest Comics #125 VF+ : $85

Aquaman begins.

[pickycollector]

World's Finest Comics #123 VF+ : $125

2nd Bat-Mite/Mr. Mxyzptlk team-up.

This issue has risen significantly recently, a CGC 6.5 sold for $225 on eBay

[pickycollector]

World's Finest Comics #120 F/VF: $30

[pickycollector]

World's Finest Comics #113 Fine+ : $200

1st Bat-Mite/Mr. Mxyzptlk team-up. Graded copies of this issue are selling for very high prices in any condition, a CGC 5.5 recently sold for $275 on eBay.

Book looks high grade but there is a stain that affects the first half of the inside pages. Strangely, the front cover is not affected. A beautiful comic for its technical grade.

[pickycollector]

Where Monsters Dwell #12 VF+ to VF/NM: $30

A bit of wear at the bottom edge prevents this book from a higher grade. It's still a very gorgeous book for a square bound picture frame comic.

[pickycollector]

Where Monsters Dwell #29 NM: $50

[pickycollector]

War is Hell #9-15 full Death storyline run: $440

Grades are as follow:

#9: 8.5

#10: 9.2

#11: 9.4

#12: technically 9.4/9.6 but pen mark on cover

#13: 9.2

#14: 9.4

#15: 9.4

Edited January 4, 2023 by pickycollector

[pickycollector]

Weird Fantasy #6 CGC 7.0: $1,050

Robot cover

Most recent GPA sales were $600 for a 6.0 and $1,500 for a 8.5. I don't know if this book was pressed or not.

Wow. I don't think that I have ever even seen these books. I remember the title but these are pretty scarce in the wild I think.
Anyone know more about this title and run that can give me the 411 ?
