I've been going thru boxes and have some incomplete Golden Age and even a little bit of Silver Age to offer up. This will probably take me a few days to get thru, as I'm still going through stuff, need to take pics and such, so please be patient. 

Rules: first in the thread wins. 

Payments: I accept checks and money orders for payment. No electronic payments accepted. Because of this, US buyers only. 

Shipping: priority shipping will be $12 and I believe that comes with $100 insurance. Any additional insurance is at postal rate cost for the amount of coverage you choose.

Returns: 7 day return privilege on raw comics (return shipping buyer's responsibility). 

As always, thanks for taking a look and I hope you find something for your collection!

Up first is an odd one, Zip Comics #34 coverless, missing the 2nd & 3rd wraps, and centerfold. Lots of good reading still here, as several stories are complete. The 11-page Web story, the 6-page Wilbur story, the 6-page Black Witch story and the 6-page Zip's Hall of Fame story are all complete, as well as a few single page features and some cool house ads. The first wrap is loose, and the pages are a flexible off white. SUPER RARE book to find and I don't think these have ever been reprinted. $75

Now a Centaur, Stars and Stripes #4. This one is coverless and is missing the centerfold. The first wrap is loose and there's a juicy spine roll to remove for those who know how to do that. The pages are in the off-white range and seem plenty supple. Get a color copy of the covers and centerfold and have a rare GA reader on the cheap. $75

Now an Ace book, Lightning Comics v1 #6. This one is coverless, missing the first 2 wraps and the centerfold. The 12-page Raven story, 6-page Hap Hazard story, 2-page text story and 10-page Marvo the Magician stories are all complete. Some misc. tears and small pieces out, off white pages. I don't think any of these stories have ever been reprinted either. A little GA fun for cheap. $40

That's all I have ready tonight, as it takes a while to determine what's missing in these incomplete comics. I'll be back tomorrow with some more so check back if this stuff is of interest to you. Once again, thanks for looking!!!  

[MattTheDuck]

FYI, I'm looking for an incomplete Wings #64 with a nice cover...or just a nice complete cover for Wings #64 in case that's somewhere in your stack.

[Readcomix]

Any Timely parts coming? 

PS - Also seeking CF for Wonder Comics #5, and covers and center wrap/single leaf (6 Doc Strange pages) for America's Best #7. (Tall order, I know...)

And maybe world peace and a NM Gutenberg Bible while you're at it....

Sorry Matt, I don't have the Wings issue you're looking for, but if I happen upon one, I'll let you know.

Yes, that's mostly what is coming. Just going thru them to identify some, determine what is missing, them gotta figure prices and take pics. Should be some later today.

Good news, I believe that would qualify for Media Mail.

Would love to buy some coverless GA from u but sadly, I am in Canada and my USA border PO Box mailing address was closed during Covid due to no USA border crossings.

Now a Timely or two.

Young Allies #6. This one is essentially coverless, missing 4 outer wraps and the centerfold. I say essentially, as it does have a piece of that 4th outer wrap (see pics). As incomplete as it is, it does have a section that is complete, which is "Chapter 4 Showdown with Hitler!!!" It's a 9 & 1/2 page story which ends with Captain America and the Human Torch joining the Young Allies at the tales conclusion. There are several splash pages and house ads present as well. For a while now, some people have been splitting these incomplete books up and selling splash pages, centerfolds and house ads as stand alone display pieces. In that regard, there should be significant value here, although as yet, I haven't been able to bring myself to do that. Maybe if it doesn't sell ... $60  SOLD

Next up is a rough Captain America #21 which is coverless, missing page 9, the centerfold, page 24 and the last page. This is a remnant of the Timely Trunk Collection. The pages are cream to off white in the center. The first two wraps (last page IS missing, so it's 1 & a half wraps) are loose with random pieces missing and multiple tears. The missing 9th page interferes with the lead Cap story, the CFO interferes with the second Cap story, the 24th page missing is one half of the text story and a Cap house ad, and the last page missing is the end of the Secret Stamp story. All the pages to the Dippy Diplomat story and Human Torch story are there, but the last page of the Torch story is missing a piece from the bottom last panel. Several center pages are loose, with tears and some small border pieces out. It is what it is. $60 SOLD

Another Cap, this one is Captain America #60 and it's coverless, missing an outer wrap .... so yes, it has the centerfold! The first page of this comic is a table of contents, so only the splash page of the lead story is missing. All other stories are complete. The book has some miscellaneous tears and a spine roll, the last Cap story has 2 punch holes on the splash page and it has off white pages. SOLD via pm
