Want to Buy

WTB / ISO Alpha Flight #11 and #1914558

Hi all,

I'm looking for as clean copies as I can find of AF #11 and #19, I would consider slabbed or raw (I am trying to find the best grade I can of each).

I am in the UK if that makes a difference.

Thanks, they're pretty easy to find although finding them in true high grade is pretty tricky...

That is true, it took me a few years of buying from various sources to complete certain runs in high grade/NM...ended up with lots of duplicates in the end and quite a few clunkers! Out of frustration I have bought some non keys CGC/CBCS slabbed because I was never able to find a raw copy in nice enough condition.

That's my plan really as every time I buy a NM it isn't!!

It's frustrating as hell, especially when it's a comic from the 80's or 90's that should be in abundant supply! I have several unfinished runs that I constantly look for NM to fill in missing gaps, but those non key raws are often hard to track down.

It also reminds me people don't know how to grade except in the loosest sense, but they don't mind charging NM+ prices!!

If you can do enough research to find how much to charge, do a bit more and learn how to grade!!

I dont know if you found them yet, but I got really lucky piecing together the run of them. A guy was selling all but 2 issues for 100 bucks on Mercari, so I bought the run. the last 2 issues I tracked down, looking on eBay, Mercari, Etsy but I found them at MCS website. Just pulled the plug and got them there. Goo d luck in getting them.

I just ran across an 11 in my collection but it’s not near mint.

Rough guess is 7-8.

You’re welcome to have it if you can’t find any others but it’s probably one you’d want to upgrade from.

That's very kind of you, although I am trying to find a high grade one (it's my new obsession!)
