Just made a deal on a Collection. Fingers crossed.13277

Thank you sir. May I have another? Siggy private msg quote post Address this user
Very much looks like an intact collection at what sounds like a 'too good to be true' price. Good to know this can still happen. Good for you!

Just curious. What part of the US, state or city did you find this. I’m finding out that the majority of collections come from the Midwest. I’m from the San Francisco Peninsula and it seems the dealers outweigh the collectors 2-1 out here. Great find!!!

One Gambit is available. A friend of mine locally expressed interest in the other. But I can get grade estimates together for the others.

Thanks! I'm in no hurry, so please, get your sea legs under you, and reach out at any time.

I didn’t buy them. 5 boxes of landfill.

Gave him $20 for driving over, though.

For that reason, I’ll do $120 for the lot. SHIPPED within the U.S.

I’ll probably move the Cap & Spawn books over to e-bay in the next couple days if no one is interested. But they’re still available here for you guys at this price, until they sell over there.

I have some catching up to do with PMs I’ve received regarding specific books. I’m a little behind on that. I’ll be doing that today.

A lower/mid-grade Hulk lot will go up today as well.

@00slim Had to give you 3 checks for your Captain America book lot.
The time it took to examine each book then write a detail of each I couldn't do it.
You must be blessed with patience or love for the hobby or a bit of both.

I appreciate it. I was home from work, put on Critters 1 & 2 in the background & just went one by one.

I enjoy it to an extent. It’s more about trying to be as upfront as possible.

Up next is what I’d call a Wolverine starter kit.

19 issues in all. $120 SHIPPED within the U.S. Each issue was priced on the low-end of recent e-bay sales.

Wolverine ongoing series (Vol. 2)

1 - A few spine stress lines, lightly blunted corners (spine). Very minor miswrap. Good ding at bottom left (at Spidey’s head). Very nice. VF easy.

2 - Nasty miswrap, dings along spine. Otherwise very sharp. Fine

2 - Very slight miswrap, slight wear to bottom left corner. Otherwise very sharp/unread. NM-

4 - Tiny bit of wear to corners (spine). Tiny spine ticks & minimal wear at staples. Non color-breaking crease back cover at bottom corner. 8.0

5 - Light wear at corners (spine). Minimal wear along spine. Light creasing/dings back cover (should press out). 8.5

6 - Minimal wear to corners (spine) and along spine. Very sharp/unread NM-

7 - Decent blunting to bottom-left corner. Wear to other corners. Bottom staple sunk in too deep. Light dings/creasing to back cover (should press out). 7.5

I didn’t even focus on the panel when I took the pic. Out of context, it certainly could have multiple interpretations.

Today’s fun find:

A heroes con (not .com as I’d thought) Secret Wars 1 Variant SIGNED by Mike Zeck.

Saw it in the box but didn’t take it out & so, I completely missed the signature.





In other news, I’ll be grading & pricing the X-Men run today. Or, at least get started on it. Looks like 32 in all.

Ok, so, the X-Men run is up for grabs. (No worries @starlord).

There’s one more included, that I forgot about. It was set aside when I was initially sorting.

I’ll get a grade estimate for this one later this morning. In any case, it’s included at the same price.
