Really cool pickups, sir! I've always liked this alternate cover for X-men 56 but I think they made the right choice with the printed one. Hope you're not getting hit too hard and feeling reasonably okay. -

Gorgeous books, as always, Greggy! That Famous Monsters, in particular, is one of my favorites and very tough in grade. -

I just got bitten by this same thing selling to a US seller (my apologies for my previous joke about selling to Canadians). This is not something that I want to deal with from now on. I'd rather accept money orders or checks or wire transfer or Zelle.

And you've always been trouble!

Do they accept trades? Or maybe kidneys?

@Axe Elf I don't think you're picking up what some of us are putting down. Identifying a copy of Eerie 1 is so questionable that even some of the most experienced dealers that were actually buying and selling comics shortly after the book came out, won't say with confidence that a copy is genuine. Yes, there are the well-documented hallmarks between the "first printing" and another printing that was apparently made from the original source material. But in this day and age, the quality of the original was so poor that it could be (conceivably) reproduced on some old used equipment. Like certain photocopiers. And if all you were looking for was the blackened in portion of the guy's head and the lines in the roof of the house, etc. most of us think you're setting yourself up for getting scammed. There are a lot of copies out there, claiming to be genuine but the majority of them are not. There are a couple copies that some board members have shown that have a complete provenance and as such, are almost certainly genuine. But buying a copy in the wild, is asking to be taken advantage of. As stated in the threads I linked for you, most experienced collectors would have difficulty feeling good buying a copy in person let alone via mail order. Unless you have substantial access to both a verified original and some of the many knock-offs (and to date, only a couple board members have), it's nearly impossible to state authenticity definitively. As I and several others have stated, I will not pursue a copy as the only thing I feel comfortable identifying is the "second printings" or counterfeits. Particularly the bad ones. Having said that, feel free to roll the dice. The rest of us are just trying to help you out.

X-men 101 (former CGC 9.4, this book has been cracked out) with White Pages. The centering on this book is excellent and the freshness in hand is remarkable. I initially cracked this book out as it looks like a great upgrade candidate. I still think so but with TATs being what they've been, I'm selling it raw. My loss is your gain. This is the classic first appearance of Phoenix. $1900 Sold to RedGiant
