Journey into Mystery #91
This one is pretty nice, about a FN-, but has the bottom staple detached from cover. Qualified.
$149  ON HOLD

Journey into Mystery #89
Origin of Thor. Classic cover. I see raw and graded copies have been selling for pretty strong prices.
Nice copy. VG to FN, no big issues but as I have noticed now it has (very slight) color touches on the upper part of the spine, around the staple and at the top, so it falls into "Restored". I’ll leave it "ON HOLD" and research a bit to price it accordingly.
*ON HOLD*

Journey into Mystery #87
Low grade copy with tape on the upper portion of cover, right side, whose glue darkened the cover paper, extra staple, small piece out from right side. A GD-?
I’m pricing it as some similar copies which sold recently.
$125

 

[vaillant]

I just realized I also have a #104 from my duplicates, I am adding it here even if it's not from my friends' collection.

Journey into Mystery #104
First appearance of Skagg. Surtur appears.
GD+/GDVG range.
$65 SOLD to crassus

SOLD

[vaillant]

Journey into Mystery #85
First appearance of Loki, but you know that.
Here’s the #85. It’s very low grade, so hard to price. I’d say in the FR to GD range, tape all along spine, original staples, cover re-attached with the tape.
A very battered copy with a hole on the cover recently sold for $640. A low grade but way better than this one sold for $1200. A graded 1.8 with a large portion of the cover missing sold for $1500.
Trying $880 OBO

Daily Bump™.

Feel free to send offer if prices are off — I will evaluate a pair of offers and then maybe move these elsewhere.
Thanks for looking!

[vaillant]

Please do not be afraid to send offers, the worst I will say "NO".
If there is no interest I think I will try to offer these here in Italy. Thanks!

[vaillant]

#91 is ON HOLD.

[vaillant]

Last bump… Then I will move these.

To the user which asked me further pictures of the #85: apologies, I will try to make them before Easter.
God bless.
