** All Proceeds to Benefit the Family of Thomas Drew (djpinkpanther67) ** High-grade raw Marvel / DC Copper Age sets and one-shots 4 4

[Sweet Lou 14]

I'm resurrecting this thread from a couple of years ago to see if we can sell some raw books to benefit the family of Thomas Drew (djpinkpanther67), who passed away suddenly in April.

Unless specified otherwise below, these raw books were purchased new, read once, carefully bagged and boarded, and stored in a clean, cool, dry, smoke-free environment ever since.  While I can't guarantee what grades they would get if you submit them, the few I submitted myself came back between 9.4 and 9.8.  I think that's a pretty good indication of what you can expect if you ever decide to slab these.

Before we get to the books themselves, here's the fine print:

• Shipping is not included in the listed prices, and will depend on your location and the number of books being bought.  I promise to work with you on a shipping method that you're comfortable with price-wise.  I will always pack the books very carefully and provide a tracking number if available with your chosen shipping method.
• Happy to entertain offers, but  in the thread always wins.  If we work something out in PM, I will ask you to post to the thread -- as long as nobody beats you to the punch with a commitment at my asking price, the books are yours.
• I strongly prefer no-fee payment methods (personal check, bank check, money order, ACH/bank wire, Venmo, or Zelle), but I will accept PayPal if you meet my asking price.  Payment is due within 5 business days, or I reserve the right to cancel.
• That said, I fully endorse making payment directly to the Drew family GoFundMe page:  https://www.gofundme.com/f/in-support-of-carmen-drew-and-family (Simply send me a screen shot as proof.)  If you do that, I will request and accept PayPal Friends and Family only for the shipping as I believe a straight reimbursement of my costs would not violate their terms.
• Any sale is final, no returns.

I'm also offering the following discounts:

• On any raw DC / Image books, or if you spend $50 or more on CGC books or raw Marvel books, take 10% off
• Spend $50+ on raw DC / Image books, or $100+ on CGC books or raw Marvel books, and take 15% off
• Spend $100+ on raw DC / Image books, $250+ on CGC books or raw Marvel books, and take 20% off

Beyond that, I'm always open to offers and I'm easy to deal with ... but since all the proceeds are going to the Drew family I'd encourage buyers to stick to the offered prices if possible.

If you're curious, you can find my feedback thread here:

Thanks for looking and please don't hesitate to PM me with any questions!

First up among the raw books are a number of DC sets.  All of these were purchased new and carefully handled.  While I'm not posting photos of individual books, I promise that the photo below is indicative of these books' condition and how they've been cared for.

The handful of DC books I chose to get graded are also a good indication, as they were pulled from the same boxes, submitted to CGC by me, and came back 9.6-9.8.

If you are interested in a specific set of books and want to see a photo, just let me know -- I'll be happy to provide one for serious inquiries.

Please note that these are available only as sets -- no cherry-picking please.  Open to offers on these especially if you are buying multiples.

Rounding out the DC books, we have all the one-shots and miscellaneous issues.  Feel free to PM me about any books you're interested in.

Note:  Any DC books with a publication date after 1992 are going to be honest-to-goodness 9.6 / 9.8 candidates, bought brand new and extremely well cared for.  Any from before 1992 would have been purchased out of the back issue bins at my local comic shop(s), so the condition on those is going to vary accordingly -- anywhere from F to NM+.  I can always give you a sense of grade, or even a photo, for a specific book.  Serious inquiries only please.

The list is as follows:

Now for the Marvel books I bought out of the back-issue bins or online as I filled in my runs.  Some of these are a bit beat up, some of them are really nice.  Some of them even feature stickers (on the bags of course, usually from Mile High Comics) declaring them "NM/M" when a cursory glance shows them to be F/VF.  Sort of collector's items just for that.

I gave each of these books a quick look and assigned each a rough grade range:  VG/F (4.0 - 6.0), F (5.5 - 6.5), F/VF (6.0 - 8.0), VF/NM (8.0 - 9.0), and NM (9.0 - 9.4).  I think I did a decent job, but I want to set expectations -- I didn't examine them in exacting detail.  I tried to be conservative on both grading and pricing.  If you buy any of these books and you're not happy with the grade, just let me know and we will work something out in good faith.

The first batch, listed alphabetically, is as follows:

• Avengers #209 F -- $2
• Captain America #209 F/VF -- $8
• Captain America #222 VF/NM Whitman variant -- $4
• Captain America #256 VF/NM -- $3
• Captain America #269 VF/NM -- $4
• Captain America #277 VF/NM -- $4
• Captain America #354 VF/NM -- $10
• Captain Marvel #50 VF/NM -- $5

I have just completed a sweep through the thread, removing sold items from the list and packing books up for shipment tomorrow.

Total raised in this thread so far:  $172 and counting!

I'm leaving this thread open for as long as it takes to raise as much money as we can.  Please take a look and do what you can!
