ciorac Posted July 13, 2011 Share Posted July 13, 2011 Working deal on some some books that were bought in a warehouse sale 30 years ago from a publisher that went out of business. These comics from late 40's early fifites have never been circulated and are in NM condition. Owner says he bought them on a whim among other things and is not a comic collector in any way, just bought them because they were cheap at the time in the 70's. Can't say more right now, other than I received 10 of the comics already and they truly are NM+ uncirculated comics, but if things workout it may cost me about 5k for all that he has, but well worth it if the owner sells. Lets just say one of the comics is booking for 23k and he wants to sell everything to get rid of them because he is getting too old to hang on to stuff. My recommendation is you close the deal fast. The vultures have a way of sniffing these things out once you talk about it Good luck, and can't wait to see what you've turned up (thumbs u Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stacks of NM books .... 60 years old ..... might be good to take an authenticator friend with you Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes, if you check the CGC census, you will find only seven copies. Compared to the Masters 21 and 22 and the Whiz 25, that's far fewer. I'm not sure why the 23 is so scarce, but perhaps you have some thoughts. SLR Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
