CLOSED: Two Raw Books and One Slabbed Book for Sale - Sensation Comics #46, Deslabbed CGC 7.5 Journey Into Mystery #87 and Avengers #13 CGC 8.0 1 1

[silverseeker]

Hi everyone,

I'm offering two raw books and one slabbed book for sale - Sensation Comics #46, Journey Into Mystery #87, and Avengers #13 CGC 8.0.

Those of you who've sold to me in the past know I'm very particular when I purchase raw books, and neither of the raw books has any of these defects unless noted:

• Loose or detached staples
• Rusty staples
• A loose or detached centerfold
• Smudges
• Spine splitting
• Tears
• Water stains
• Interior defects (tears, missing page corner chips, etc.)

I prefer to ship via domestic or international USPS Priority Mail (but am also open to USPS Ground Advantage) and charge the exact cost for shipping.

I accept PayPal, Venmo, checks, or money orders.

I will accept a return if you're not happy with a raw book...just let me know within a week of receipt. No returns on CGC-graded books.

The first  gets the book, but I will also entertain offers via PM.

Please No probies and HOSers, and thanks for looking!

First up is Sensation Comics #46, and here's the story behind it:

I picked it up around 1980 from Amazing Adventures on the corner of 45th Avenue and Noriega Street in San Francisco. I thought the "big logo" Golden Age DCs were so cool and wanted to get an example of one. This was the only title I could afford, but it has never fit my collecting style so I'd like to send it to a good home.

It, along with the Daredevil #1 I sold to @Primetime a few weeks ago, were the last two vintage books I had in my collection from when I collected back then (all of the vintage books I have now were acquired since 2000).

I was not sure how to grade it because of the dust shadows, but other than them and a bend in the upper left corner of the back cover the book presents beautifully and has great page quality. I consulted with Ben and am grading it Fine (6.0) to be safe.

Prices are hard to track down for this book, but several CGC 4.0 copies have sold between $420 and $455 over the last two years.

I'm asking $700 $600 $500 for this copy.

I'm not sure why the centerfold image is sideways...sorry in advance for any neck strain you may suffer as a result of checking it out!

Next up is my deslabbed, former CGC 7.5 copy of Journey Into Mystery #87.

As part of my collecting focus shift I'm going to give up on my Journey Into Mystery run and am starting by selling this, my lowest-number copy. Depending on how this goes I may start listing some of my other issues.

Asking $800 $750 $700, and the CGC label will be included with the book.

I love this copy because it has nice gloss and deep cover colors...the back cover also does not have any smudging, which is somewhat common on books with the "rare coins" ad from what I've seen.

I just discovered that I still had scans of the Journey Into Mystery #87 when it was slabbed, and here they are! Glad I held on to them...
