[Big Daddy]

Nice Books. Good luck with the sale.

[Yannis]

Superman # 5 CGC 1.0 Off-white to White Pages (dont have a pic at the moment cause the scanner is dead- and my father took my digital camera with him ) anyway, the grade does not do the book justice. It should (IMO) be at least a 1.8. They knock the grade down because of a tear at the top where the N on Superman is. The N is partailly torn out. If that was there CGC would have gave it a higher grade for sure. As soon as I have some type of camera in hand I will have a pic. Asking is $ 495 gets it, everything else the same. Again a Pic will be up soon enough, Thanks

 

Reduction for Superman as well price now $ 435 (pic tomorrow when I have my camera back)

 

 

Pics are finally here, sorry that it can only be from my G1 phone though...

Reduced to $275

 

Last reduction for this key, now $250- for under guide value!

[Yannis]

 

The very Scarce Adventure comics 79 at about Vg (to maybe VG+) condition. Tape on the spine is what keeps the grade this low. Off-white pages (IMO) Classic Manhunter cover! They dont get too much better than this. Asking $ 1200, offers considered of course, will be out pretty much most of the day so I might not be able to get to answer questions right away - but eventually I will, Thanks Everything else the same with payments and shipping.
