A smattering of raws for sale - ASM, Thor, X-Men, What If... (including 31), and more! 1 1

[mattn792]

Continuing to look to move some books that are just milling about.  Plus, the baby said I need to buy a new car.  I bought the new car already, but I figured I'd just resurrect this thread rather than start a new one.  Work smarter, not harder and such.

Necessities first:

Payment:  In addition to PayPal, I will also accept check / money order / Zelle, though the book will be held until clearance (which is pretty much immediate with Zelle).  Payment due within 5 business days.  

Shipping (domestic):  Domestic shipping is included in the book price and will be by insured USPS ground advantage unless noted otherwise.  

Shipping (international) - exact cost, minus the US shipping cost (generally I use USPS flat rate envelopes).  Please inquire first for an accurate quote. 

Returns:  I will take returns on raw books if I failed to disclose a significant flaw or we end up wildly disagreeing on the grade.  Please contact me within 7 days of receipt should a situation like this arise.

On the HoS?  Probation list?  Or we have some other beef (on my ignore list, bad con interaction, etc.)?  Don't bother.

Can provide board references if needed (no name dropping here), and over 1700 positive eBay feedback as well -- https://feedback.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewFeedback2&userid=792mn.  And I've got a fledgling kudos thread started (link is in my profile page).

First posted in the thread wins a book outright (so don't PM it to me, a thread take it wins out regardless of time stamp).  Offers always welcome.

Good luck with sale. Did you do some upgrading?

[mattn792]

Thor Annual 2.  Destroyer cover and appearance.  In addition to the wear you see in the photos, there's also about a 2 inch split at the top and bottom of the spine, not uncommon on square bound books.  Call it a 3.5.

$29 shipped

No, unfortunately it's time for another ing word - consolidating.  Since we had the little one, it's been apparent that I have too many comics and not enough time.

All for a good cause! I’m down to my last kiddo who is 13.

X-Men 120, featuring a battle with an Alpha Flight team looking to extradite Wolverine to Canada.  3.0.  Has a lot of under the light flaws (pock marks and creases, so some might call it a 2.5, but I hesitate to do that since it's still solid without any tears.

These next two are intended more as some fun reading material additions to any bigger purchase, but I will ship them solo or together if a buyer prefers.  Both books are mid-grade.

What If... 2 - Hulk had the Brain of Bruce Banner?
What If... 5 - Captain America Hadn't Vanished During WWII?

WITHOUT shipping - $4 each.  These would ship USPS first class if not bought in tandem with a book going Priority, pm me for an accurate quote if interested.

Wolverine Limited Series 3.  Very tough to keep in high grade due to the all black cover.  I conservatively call this book an 8.5, though I think there's an easy case to be made for 9.0 as is, quite possibly a 9.2 after a pressing.  

Front cover has 4 small spine tics, two of which are tough to see without the book being under a light, and some non-color breaking bending to the top of the cover.

Rear cover has 3 small spine tics and a non-color breaking crease at the lower spine corner.  Also a slight miscut towards the top with that little bit of extra paper hanging off the edge.

Spine has a slight reading bend toward the bottom, definitely pressable.

$40 shipped

Wolverine Limited Series 4.  Concludes this fantastic storyline, which was brutally butchered in the second Wolverine movie.  Not that I'm hung up on that.  Anyway...

I call this one a 6.0 as it stands now.  Moderate amount of creasing and impact marks to both covers.  However...so much of it is not color breaking, that I wouldn't be surprised to see a really good presser push this into the 8s, maybe even all the way to a 9.0.

$14 shipped
