  1. Incredible Hulk #188 VF+ : $20 Tough issue to find in high grade due to black cover. Looks much better but has some light stacking bends here and there that do not break colors, would very probably improve with pressing
  2. Incredible Hulk #158 VF/NM: $100 By far the toughest BA Hulk to find in high grade
  3. Incredible Hulk #152 VF+ : $30 Looks better but has hint of rust on inside lower staple
  4. Sub-Mariner #14 VF+ to VF/NM: $60 Subby vs GA Toro (who assumes GA Torch identity and dies in this story) Structurally better but light tanning on upper edge.
  5. Marvel Two-in-One #54 VF+ : $20 Death of Deathlok by John Byrne Looks NM but small wrinkle on lower left side that does not break colors.
  6. Fantastic Four #129 VF/NM: $160 1st app. Thundra Looks NM-/NM from the front cover but light tanning line on bottom of back cover.
  7. Fantastic Four #122 VF/NM: $100 One of the toughest BA FF's to find in high grade due to the black cover. Date stamp on back cover
  8. Epic Illustrated full run #1-34: $2,050 Many of them are file copies that I bought several years ago at multiples of Guide. This title was rather slow in the past but has recently increased in interest with good reasons: great stories, great art, a lot of female nudity and some first appearances. Issues #26-34 show the classic Last Galactus Story saga by John Byrne. Grades are as follow: #1: 9.4 #2: 9.2 #3: 9.2 (9.6/9.8 if pressed) 1st app. Dreadstar #4: 9.0 #5: 9.6 #6: 9.2 #7: 9.0 #8: 9.2 #9: 9.6 #10: 9.6 1st app. Marada the She-wolf #11: 9.4 #12: 9.6 #13: 9.4 #14: 9.8 #15: 9.6 #16: 9.8 #17: 9.4 #18: 9.4 #19: 9.4 #20: 9.6 #21: 9.8 #22: 9.8 #23: 9.6 #24: 9.6 #25: 9.8 #26: 9.4 #27: 9.4 #28: 9.6 #29: 9.6 #30: 9.4 #31: 9.4 #32: 9.8 #33: 9.4 #34: 9.4
  9. Nick Fury, Agent of Shield #1-18 full run: $3,000 My personal run of this series. I could consider selling issues #8-18 separately as a partial run but will not sell #1-7 without the others, just PM me if any interest in such an option. Grades are as follow: #1: CGC 9.2 (to the best of my knowledge, this book was not pressed) #2: 9.4 #3: 9.0 #4: 9.0 #5: 9.6 (killer copy) #6: 9.0 #7: 8.5/9.0 (looks 9.4 from the front) #8: 9.2 #9: 9.0/9.2 #10: 9.0 #11: 9.2/9.4 (9.6 if pressed) #12: 9.0/9.2 #13: 9.0 #14: 8.5/9.0 #15: 9.0/9.2 #16: 8.5 #17: 9.0 #18: 9.0
  10. Strange Tales #89 VF: $11,000 Book looks much better than assigned grade with nice corners, gorgeous spine and awesome colors and gloss. It is also extremely well centered as you can see the man below in his totality (full left foot). I have to downgrade it to a VF 8.0 because of light curves along the spine probably due to storage and that do not break any color so an easy press for those of you who can stand that practice. Also because there is some tanning along inside covers margins and on back cover (see pictures below, last picture was under an angle and the book looks curved on it but it's not). Inside pages are off-white. Note that there are no inside pages poking through the right edge as it is now so common to see today with pressed books (the costanza effect).... Feel free to compare this copy with any other copy in 7.0,7.5,8.0 or even 8.5 that sold in the past years or may be currently available for sale. I highly doubt that you will find a better looking copy
