Nice collection of books offered...or so I thought. I hate this type of auction listing. On and on about the history of Iron Man in comics, but very little information about the actual books being sold. At the end he lists the books and his grades. His ToS 39 is at best a 3.5 and he says it is F/F+?

 

I give up on buying comics on Ebay.

I have been treated so well by fellow forum members I wont ever go back.

that is a pretty decent collection and the #39 would be pretty sweet except for that likely popped staple.

 

will be interesting to see how it developes...............don't see too many auctions like this.............

I saw this auction last night. My dream TOS collection. Everything is just about in the grade range I am looking for. I'll predict $7,000.

How much does that popped staple knock the 39 down? Without the staple the book looks nicer than a 3.5, maybe he doesn't think a pop means anything?

[KingOfRulers]

It certainly "looks" better then a 3.5. But a popped staple does bring it down to 3.5, maybe 4.0.

If that's his idea of a upper Fine then whoever buys the lot is going to be un-happy.

i'm pretty much in agreement here, but feel that if it's solely the staple that's causing the overgrading, the majority of the books might be a wee bit closer to true grade..........at least i hope so for the buyer...........

 

in any event - no one is likely to pay an amount based on the E-bay sellers grades, anyway...........

Interesting lots for a first time seller.

 

Why he has not slabbed his books other then the Strange Adventures #1 is beyond me. And that Hulk 4 scan looks , weird.

 

Anybody drop him an email yet asking for better scans?
