OOPS I can't believe I forgot the big guy

 

Uncanny X-men #3 - 8.5 - $2700

WHITE PAGES

Freshly slabbed, gorgeous example with crack-worthy interiors (See raw pics)

side note: RAW PICS forever!  I can't believe how yellow the professional pics of this book are in the slab.  I totally get the purpose of slabs, but it's SO hard to get a real sense of a book in a slab, esp since grader's notes are not exhaustive.

I’m confused by the title of this thread vs the books.  The title seems to indicate you’re offering raw books you don’t want to have slabbed but the pics show slabbed books and (supposedly) the same books before they were slabbed or perhaps after they were cracked out.  For those of us with thicker brains could you clarify?

Hey sorry you’re not thick.  The thread is going to be principally raw books.  I’m endeavoring to start that around 5:30 PST this evening. 

These are books from the same runs that I had slabbed so figured they’re a good place to start before the raws.   They are currently slabbed, but I try to post raw pics whenever possible as well.

I hope that makes sense!

So I’m gonna try to start the raw runs listings tonight at 5:30 PST or so.  I’ll update the thread when I know.  Likely starting with X-Men or JIM/THOR

Since @lizards2 is here, I got a couple of nice DCs as I procrastinate leaving for school pickup:

TEC 329 - $90

just a killer raw copy, whose only real sin is the wear BLFC.  Infantino is like “nah, I’m gonna draw all that wood grain.”  Gene Colan fainted.

TEC 333 - 9.2 - $100

Not anxious to let this one go either, but I don’t collect these so I’m trusting there’s someone in the congregation who’ll Iove it as much as I do.  Tiny crease BRFC, otherwise as nice as they come.  Bats looks like he’s enjoying it a little too much.

I often see undergrades there. No comment on the grades people contributed (I lie, I clicked the X-Men 21, it looks 8.0/+ to me and people were saying sevens).

Yes and sometimes they’re all over the place.  That x-men 21 for example is very nice so I’m gonna take new pics of that for the sale. But I do like that they’re generally tight on grading

One of my favorite covers ever. I wouldn't be selling this, but I've decided to upgrade. Great presenter for the grade
