Hi Rick,

 

Maybe we can work out a trade... I think you may have a book or two I MIGHT be willing to trade for grin.gif

 

Actually this book is overpriced in the guide. I paid $810 for this one before the juice, even with the buyer fees, it was less than the 4.0 guide price.

rick

I guess this counts since it's all one purchase. 750 original owner books from the 40s and 50s I picked up last Monday...

Congrats on what looks like a great little pick-up. thumbsup2.gif

 

Were they well-read copies like most GA collections or were they kept minty fresh like the Church copies? 893crossfingers-thumb.gif

 

Did the owner know that they were worth something or was he offering you money to dispose of them for him? 27_laughing.gif

 

I certainly wouldn't mind picking up a collection like that! cloud9.gif

It's a mixed bag--some were well-read, some not so much. As a general rule, the superhero books seem a little rougher, the Disney's, especially the ducks, a little nicer. Nice paper on most, staple rust on some.

 

These are from the same collection as the two issues of Mask Comics that were just sold on ebay. I saw that the guy selling them was local, so I contacted him and asked him if he had any other books. He said he had nine boxes (turned out to be ten), so I went to check them out. He had CGC'd and sold a few books, so he had a sense of their value. I didn't pull a Chuck, I was straightforward about what I thought the value was, and what I was willing to offer for them. I had offered to buy some specific books (the Ducks and some of the horror books), but he didn't want to sell any more piecemeal, so...
