  1. Amazing Spider-Man #8 former CGC 8.0 old label: $1,850 It was graded in 2000 and looks better than its assigned grade, I would grade it as a VF+ and it could probably get higher if pressed. CGC was very strict on those early years (not the case anymore unfortunately...). I own this copy for over two decades and did crack it almost immediately after purchasing but kept the label. Among the defects in the notes, there is a name/store stamp on back cover and overlap of front cover which today are not considered as defects anymore. There is a crease on lower right corner and on bottom left side that do not break colors and would probably be easily pressed if you are into that. I did "upgrade" this copy by another CGC 8.0 that also looks under-graded but with better centering and full CCA stamp (which is very important for me) but this copy here has better colors and gloss. GPA prices in 2023 for a 8.0 did vary from $1,226 to $2,400 with the better looking copies selling for the higher prices. I paid a high price for my new copy and it was not easy to decide which one to keep and which one to resell.
  2. Now take five books or more and get a 20% discount. Valid one day then closing this thread.
  3. Deathmate Prologue, Eternal Warrior #6, X-O Manowar #2,5 have sold via PM
  4. Marvel Premiere #23 VF+ : $25 Looks better but some non-color breaking wear, would easily be pressed to higher grade
  5. Lucky Luke #12 VF+ : $12 1st Cousins Dalton story, 4-1985 French edition, magazine size
  6. Maybe a few more but that probably will be it for books at that price range.
  7. I have been asked if the 10% discount applies to a number of five books or a number of five listings. It is the number of books that counts so if there is a run of five books or more offered in one listing, then there is an automatic 10% discount.
  8. Frank Frazetta Fantasy Illustrated #1-8 full run: $144 (that is $18 on average per magazine). Awesome art and spectacular covers on these magazines. Grades are as follow: #1: 9.0/9.2 #2: 9.2 #3: 9.6 #4: 9.8 #5: 9.4 #6: 7.5 looks NM but long crease on front cover that does not break colors #7: 8.5/9.0 #8: 9.2
