PGM . Thoughts appreciated ! Thor

Slabs shipping is $10 I will take returns within 7 days of when you receive the package if you mail back using the same service as I used and give me a tracking number within the 7 days. I will take PayPal, checks, or Money orders. No list people please. First 'take it' in the thread or PM gets the book. If you have questions or would like more pictures just PM me.

I listed some auctions that will end Sunday night. They all start at 99 cents no reserves:) I hope some people here will bid:) If you do and you win, let me know and I'll add a magnet:) Thanks and best of luck! Sharon https://www.ebay.com/sch/skypinkblu/m.html?item=264243018154&ssPageName=STRK%3AMESELX%3AIT&rt=nc&_trksid=p2047675.l2562

Closed and moved.

I'm planning some home renovations this Winter/Spring, so I'm going to hopefully have a series of sales. This is the first. All the books in this lot are CGC'd. I'm sorry that I only have pictures and no scans for most, but my slab scanner doesn't seem to like the latest version of Windows 10;) I might be able to add some scans later on. This time shipping is not included, but I charge exact shipping and no “handling” fees. With slabs I find that there is too much of a difference between the East and West Coast to charge everyone the same thing. I do use Regional boxes if I can save you money (and I double box). I'm on the East coast. I send anything over $200 signature required. I pay for private insurance, so that is covered by me. I will ship anywhere. Paypal and checks/MO's are accepted. Time payments are possible (but ask me first before posting a Take It) General rule is 20% down (non refundable) due within 3 days. The rest of the payment schedule we can work out, but the payments must be completed no later than March 2nd. If they are not, I will refund the balance minus the initial 20%. Take it rules. You can post a take it in the thread or in a PM. If you post in the pm, put the time. I don't expect ties, but if there is one, the tie goes to the post on the thread. Returns. I accept returns on anything. With slabs, you are responsible for postage each way. You have 7 days from the day you received the book to return it to me. It must be packaged the way I packed it. Please let me know before returning anything. No list people please. If there are any questions, or you want me to try to take more pictures, just pm me. I'll be around until late afternoon.

Hi all, For the last few weeks I have had a thread up offering mostly Classics and related material, from a 16-box estate collection that was maybe 85% Classic Comics/Classics Illustrated. Rather than run one long, confusing (to me!) thread for everything. I am willing to share from that collection, I am trying to share in focused threads, for those who might not be interested in everything coming to the board from this sizable collection. So here is round two, about half a short box of various Silver age Superman titles. But first, First in thread wins Payment: Checks or money orders (I don't have PayPal) Shipping: USPS Priority $7 for as many can fit in a legal size priority envelope, inside a flip n ship mailer. Single books can ship first class at $5. If we're over the legal envelope capacity, books move to a Regional box or medium Priority box (est. $10-$13.65). Returns: Sure, just notify me within three days of receipt and get them back on your dime in the same shape for a purchase price refund. Don't be listy including the little one in my head. Ready? Up, up and away!

I just listed 22 auctions all starting at 99 cents with no reserve. I did put up bins in case anyone wanted to get rid of their eBay bucks quickly, but of course those work with auctions, too:) Have fun and if you are a boarder and you win, let me know, so I make sure to include something extra:) https://www.ebay.com/sch/skypinkblu/m.html?item=263581712590&hash=item3d5eb1c0ce%3Ag%3AXTIAAOSwdxJawU3E&rt=nc&_trksid=p2047675.l2562

I've been collecting Superman and Batman for quite a while, but I've been getting away from SA and BA books, so I'm going to be listing that part of my collection during the next few weeks. I started with the BA books, then the SA books, then add quite a few 10 cent books, early SA/ Atom Age/GA...whatever you want to call them;) I've had a few threads, this will be the last one until at least March, I have a lot to pack and ship. There will be 41 10 cent DC's, Superman, Batman, Superboy, Action, Adventure and Detective Comics. Since these are all raw books, I'm pricing by looking at completed prices on eBay, then I deduct what fees would cost me and a little more. I accept Paypal, checks or Money orders. First here or in a pm wins, by time stamp. If I can't determine the time stamp, the board take it wins. I will send invoices at the end, once you get the invoice, payment is due within 3 days unless we have discussed other arrangements. If you need time payments, it's not a problem, but please PM me before taking anything. Prices are going to be low on these books (at least I think they are low) All the books are raw, A few notes. None to the best of my knowledge,have been pressed or cleaned. I count the pages on every book. I look at the centerfolds to make sure they are attached, if they aren't, I note it. I look for missing coupons, and I grade the way I'd like someone else to grade for something I'm buying, but anyone can miss something or make a mistake. So...If I left anything out, just ask. I take returns on anything. If you aren't happy for any reason, plmk within 3 days of receipt. If I ask you to return the book, then I expect the return within 7 days, packed the same way I sent it. If you just changed your mind, shipping is on you. If I made a mistake, return shipping is on me. Shipping, I will charge exact shipping, but I will discount if you buy a certain amount. Spend $100 and get $5.00 off shipping, $200 and get $10 off shipping, if you spend $300 or more, I'll ship for free (in the US, in Canada I'll split shipping with you if you spend more than $300). If you live anywhere else, just pm me for shipping estimates before you buy anything. For the USA, I use regional boxes whenever it lowers the shipping price. I don't charge for handling. All books are bagged and boarded, most are going to be in new bags and boards. Most are in Mylite 2's and hardbacks, although I've had to combine because I try to replace all bags and boards and I'm running out;). I can ship 2 regular (1 Giant) books in a cardboard mailer for about $3.00 3-5 books in a flat rate envelope with very strong boards (one will have a wood veneer) for $6.00 12 books in a regional box A for about $8 east coast, $11 West coast. (if it's less I charge the exact amount.) A regional box B is slightly higher but holds at least 20 books. I do not ship comics media mail, because the Post Office states they can not be shipped media (it's in their regulations) and I don't want to be responsible if there is a problem. Tracking is included and so is insurance (I pay for private insurance.). If you buy more than $200 worth of books, signature required is a must, but I pay for that in the US, in Canada, those packages must go priority. I can ship first class to Canada, but its not cheap. Max is 4lbs. I'm going to add a lot of freebies on the thread. I also add some kind of free gift to each order.

Superboy #68 CGC 6.0 OW is up on eBay! .99 no reserve auction. Free shipping to US.

Rules: Payment by PayPal only. I will only ship to North America. Free USPS Priority Mail + Signature service for US only. For my Canadian friends I will let you know the shipping total. First is the winner despite any ongoing negotiations. No probies or HOSers. Raw books can be returned within 7 days of receipt, no returns on slabs. Be sure to let me know prior to returning an item! Offers are always welcome (and encouraged). If you have any questions send me a PM! JP My Kudos Thread

Hi all, Ok, it's time....I will post one book tonight to get this thread rolling, but I plan a thread of Gold and early Silver, between 60-70 books, over the next few nights. I will group them by genre, with round 1 being pre-code romance/GGA. (This will be about 1/3 of the thread). The romance books are mostly pretty sharp and fairly esoteric; it's hard to find many comps so I'm using multiple sources and taking the OSPG with a grain of salt. One book tonight, more beginning around 10 pm EST tomorrow. I will try to do a heads-up post shortly before beginning each round, and I will edit the headline with each new round. The back 2/3 of the thread should have a little something for everyone; Archies, heroes, horror, humor, war, Atlas/Marvel pre-hero, Tom Corbett, etc. Payment is money order or check -- I do not have Paypal. Shipping -- $5 up to first three books U.S., actual thereafter. Canada is actual shipping. Returns -- Sure, just notify me within three days of receipt and get it back to me in the same shape on your dime. (Unless I missed something.) Don't be listy

Hello, Here are the last of my Atlas Monster comics. It was a fun 30 year ride collecting these guys. Please give them a good home! Books can be returned if not satisfied. Actual postage and insurance will be calculated based on your locations. I added a few more Atlas books and a high grade copy of Superboy #100! Best regards, Bill

Hi gang, Here's an unusual but kinda cool offering: a lot of 31 Coverless readers from the Golden, Silver and Bronze ages, including a truly rare book and a few keys. First, the rules (this post). Then, the descriptor. Post #3 will be the pix, completing the offering. Price will be for the entire lot shipped within U.S. (Medium Priority Flat Rate box). If you're not in the U.S. But gotta have it, PM me and we will try to work out shipping, attendant risk assumption, payment, etc. to make it happen for both of us. Payment is money order or check -- I do not have Paypal. No listy sorts. Returns -- Sure, just notify me within three days of receipt, return them in same condition on your dime. First in thread gets the lot, but PM's welcome as well. Next, the offer....

Rules: No sales to Hall of Shame or Probation List offenders. All sales will be via Paypal Goods and Services. Listed sale prices already include any additional fees incurred on my end. Payment is expected within 48hrs of invoice being sent. After payment is received, I ship the next business day. Occasionally life may try to interfere, but you will be notified of any delays. The first person to claim the book in the thread by stating "I'll take it" (or similar) gets the book and trumps any PM's or offers. No returns for graded comics. Raw comics may be returned within 7 business days of initial delivery. The Books and Shipping: I have recently acquired 3 golden age books which are absolutely lovely, but don't fit in with my collection. Shipping is included in the asking price (in the USA) and I ship very securely with tracking, insurance and signature for receipt. Shipping internationally is possible (Canada: add $8 USD), just PM me with an address for a quote. References: While I am relatively new to the CGC board and don't have a kudos page, I have 100% positive feedback as a buyer/seller (99% of my sales are comics) over the last 12 months: https://feedback.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewFeedback2&userid=collector_in_pa Due to the migration of images between the CGC servers, I have also uploaded all photos here: https://imgur.com/a/Rzqn9

Yesterday we took a look at the dawn of the Bronze Age with the Superbooks. It would be about another year, however, for the Superbooks to start hitting their stride with some classic Bronze Age goodness. For me, the quintessential Superman Bronze Age book is Superman #233, so let's see what else was on the newsstands that month as well. Aside from having the most iconic of Neal Adams' Superman covers, this issue starts a year-long story of a de-powered Superman by Denny O'Neil. While this was supposed to reset the status quo, it was largely contained within the pages of Superman and lasted only as long as Denny O'Neil stuck around. Those eleven issues are now affectionately known as the Sand-Superman Saga. It has its rightful place in Superman history, but honestly...80% of the reason is that cover! Superman's Girl Friend Lois Lane #107 has another Rose & Thorn back-up, and nothing screams Bronze Age like street-level vigilantism. Superboy #171 has one of the better (and all too rare) Carmine Infantino Superman covers. Great stuff! I'm not much of an historian for Aquaman, but was Aquaboy ever really a thing? Jack Kirby was just getting started on his Fourth World epic, and we get Darkseid's second appearance here in Superman's Pal Jimmy Olsen #135. ...and is that another cover in the "people vs. Superman" theme on Action Comics #396? Suddenly he's the Rodney Dangerfield of super-heroes. Another decent month in the world of Superman!

Continuing on for the theme of the week, let's set the time machine forward a few years to April of 1969 to see both the end of one era, and the dawn of another. The end of the Silver Age is a hard one to pin down, and there's a ton of debate to be had. I, myself, like to keep things simple and generally assume that the end of the 12¢ books also ends the Silver Age, and this is the month that it happened. I sorted the books by release date, so you'll see that it starts with 10¢ books and ends with the 12¢ books. Aside from Adventure Comics #381, which features the debut issue of the solo Supergirl stories, there is no real tonal shift per se. It was more of a gradual shift as the civil rights movement started to shift the consciousness of the country forward. We do get a great month of Neal Adams covers though! Superboy #157 features another in the all time favorite "people vs. Superman" theme. Superman and Batman duel it out gladiator-style in World's Finest Comics #185. While not one of his most iconic covers, he gets the honor of doing Supergirl's first issue from her headlining run in Adventure Comics. He's also credited with inking the Curt Swan cover for Superman's Pal Jimmy Olsen #120, but I'll be darned if I can see any of Curt left in the final project. Superman #217 is a giant-size issue, featuring a great load of reprints with the first appearances of Brainiac, Metallo, Lori Lemaris, the pre-Kara Supergirl, and of course...Mala! Four Neal Adams covers and a bunch of classic reprints? I call that a win!

So I was ruminating on the state of my Superman collection the other day, as I am getting close to checking off all of the 12¢ books from Superman and Action Comics. That made me curious as to how far back I could get in my collection, and have the entire month of Superman books represented. I figured it would be early in the 12¢ run somewhere, but to my surprise it was late in the 10¢ era instead. Step out of the time machine, and welcome to the world of November 1959! No key issues for this month, but the Superbabies are quite popular as we get both a Superboy and a Supergirl Superbaby story. Since Supergirl only made her first appearance less than a year prior, I'm guessing that this is the first Supergirl Superbaby story? See, there is a key here after all! Now I know what your thinking..."Hold up, how can there be a story of Supergirl when she was a baby as she came to Earth as a teenager?" Blame it on the fountain of youth she inadvertently swims through while rescuing a drowning native in a far off exotic island. And that is why Silver Age stories never get boring. There's always a fountain of youth around when you need one to spice up a story! While the cover for Superman's Girl Friend Lois Lane #14 teases a Batman appearance, it's not to be. It's all a ruse by Supergirl meddling in her cousin's love life trying to make Superman jealous. This is Supergirl's first appearance in Lois' book and her third outside of Action Comics, after guest-starring in Jimmy Olsen's and Superman a few month's prior. The Superboy #78 is the real winner from this month however, as not only do you get a great Jor-El cover, but all three of the stories inside are gems. Since the aforementioned debut of Supergirl had just happened and proved a hit, I guess Superboy wanted to get in on the action as the opening story has Clark changed to Claire Kent, Super-Sister! Hey kids, look! It's Supergirl as a brunette! The second story gives us the origin of Clark's super-suit, while the last one gives us a view into the early life of Mr. Mxyzptlk and the origin of their longstanding feud. Good stuff! All in all, a solid month, and it's especially great if you are a Supergirl fan. I do wonder though, how this period played out if you were a Superman fan who was still of the age where girls had cooties.

Yesterday I was a little surprised that I was able to go all the way back to November of 1959, with having a complete set of all the Superbooks on sale for a particular month. I thought for sure that my oldest set would've been in the early 12¢ era. I ended up being wrong twice, as not only could I go farther back than I thought, but the next instance of this happening is way into the second half of the Silver Age. It takes another 7 ½ years for my collection to once again have all of the Superbooks for any particular month. I give to you, the Superman newsstand of June 1967... There's two things to notice here. First, we have three different cover dates for the books that were on sale during June of 1967. The monthly books are all cover dated August, while the 80 Pg. Giants are dated September and October. I don't claim to have a PhD in cover dates, but I do know enough that the month on the cover is supposed to be the month that the books were to be removed from the newsstand, and not the actual month that they were released. Why they decided to give Lois' 80-pager an extra month over Jimmy's is curious. I'm guessing it's because the Lois book was released during the last week of June. For future newsstand months, I should probably put them in order of release date, rather than my typical fashion of ordering them by the age of the title (e.g. Action always goes first, then Adventure, World's Finest, Superboy, etc...) The other thing that sharp-eyed readers may notice is that there is a book missing...Superman #199. This book is the first Superman/Flash race, and a true key for any Superman or Flash collector. So why is it missing? Here's why... About 8 years ago or so, I finished up the small run of the Silver Age Superman/Flash races, which includes the following... Superman #199 Flash #175 World's Finest #198-199 When I laid them all out in order, it was a perfect example of the linear storytelling we all enjoy so much. The first book has the two heroes right at the start of the match, then Superman pulls ahead, then Flash pulls ahead, then to the last book where it is neck and neck over the finish line. I loved the way they looked so much, that I hired my sister to mat and frame them for me! She ended up doing it for free as a birthday present, and they've been hanging up in my office ever since.

Yesterday I mentioned that I'll pick up lower grade 12¢ books to help fill out the run if the price is right, well on these the price was right! The focus of my collection is completing Action Comics and Superman, but I've slowly been filling out the secondary and tertiary titles as the opportunities present themselves. After enjoying the heck out of @Silver's Superboy Complete thread over in the Silver Age Forum, I decided to bump the Superboy collecting up a notch as there are some great books in there. Thanks to @SOLAR BOY for another killer sales thread that had some of those Superboy books I enjoyed seeing over in @Silver's thread. And thanks for the freebie too! With this haul, and yesterday's, that brings me pretty darn close to filling out all of the Action Comics and Superman 12¢ books, as I need only 12 more Actions and 16 more Supermans. Hopefully by the end of the year I can finish off that mini-goal and be able to fully concentrate on the 10¢ books. And what do the anagrams have to say? Superboy = Buy Ropes Superman = Man Purse Not to much secret insight there. Let's try the creators on these issues. Leo Dorfman = Elf Doorman Edmond Hamilton = Damned Monolith Al Plastino = Nasal Pilot Curt Swan = ... Tread lightly on that last one, as there are some decidedly NSFW anagrams there.

My Superboy Collection, 1-204, in reverse order, because;) Most of these books are raw, there are just a few that are slabbed and I'll post those tomorrow. I used to have the full run, but I've sold a few and sent a few to CGC, there are still a lot of books and I put the ones I was thinking of keeping in with the rest, so it's not exactly picked over;) Shipping is exact. In the US, I can put about 12 books into a Regional A flat rate box, it's about $7 on the East cost, $8 in the middle and $10 on the West. If you buy so many that I can't fit them in a regional box A, I'll subsidize the cost of the next size box. If you spend $150 or more, I will pay for shipping (in the US). Sorry Canada, I'll gladly sell to you, but I can't cover the shipping, I will discount what it would have cost me in the US;) . I try to include some kind of extra in every package, because I like to. I accept PP, checks and MO's. I ship promptly and I'd like payment within the next 5 days unless you ask for time in advance and we agree in advance. First anywhere gets the book...well, board or pm anywhere, unlike one friend, I do NOT accept smoke signals;) Returns for any reason at all, but you must let me know within 3 days of receipt and returns must get back to me in 7 days. You pay return shipping unless I screwed up. If it's my fault, I'll pay the return shipping. I had NO idea I had so many of these...they seemed like less until I started taking them out of the box;) I'm going to try to do half now, half tomorrow morning, unless I start falling asleep...or all of you do;) Oh and NONE of these books to the best of my knowledge, and I've had them all for a while, have been pressed, spindled or mutilated... Actually , I just know they have not been pressed;)
