Seems that the Spider-man run (2-400!) alone would make this a worthy investment.

Comments?

Check the feedback: sales are for penny ante and I can't find one comic book listed. [insert Kenny Rogers singing "The Gambler" here]

..........and the old 'private auction' is in play.........so who knows who's bidding up that puppy.............

Pretty good scans albeit not close up, but some pretty interesting books. If I had oodles of cash (so much that losing ANY wouldn't bother me, a la Bill Gates) I'd bid.

There's a pretty clear sub crease on the FF 48.

 

Also, as for never having sold comics before, looks like they are doing it all at once instead of piecemeal. Sometimes, that is the best way to get a large collection although this one is a little too rich for me.

Hey, I don't trust anybody on EBay, especially someone listing $5 items who suddenly wants ten's of thousands for a nice comic collection. You take part in enough of these and you'll get burned.

Only 12 hours left and it's only at $12,212.00.

Come on you guys....

Don't need any of it. Got all that stuff in near perfect condition. But it looks like a great deal for someone interested in it.

Beware, it looks to me like the majority of these books are G/VG at best (based on the scans called FN/VF). I bought part of a collection of similar titles last year, all beautiful, extremely flat & clean copies that I strictly called FN/VF, a few I submitted to CGC received grades ranging from a 5.5 to a 9.4 (including an X-Men #1 6.0, which is FAR nicer than the scan here), so it's likely there are a few gems, but not the keys shown in the item. That FF 48 looks 2.0.

 

CI's got a good point here on this sellers FB. I'd never shell out that kind of dough without checking these books out in person, no exceptions.
