Great thread! Reminds me of "The Official Bronze DC Trading Post" post I have been meaning to post.

 

Anyhowser, here's what I'm looking for (NM- or better unless noted, may consider nice looking VF/NM's)

 

House of Mystery 175, 178, 179, 183, 186, 187, 189, 191, 192, 203, 221

House of Secrets 81, 84, 86, 89

Phantom Stranger 3, 4, 9, 10

Tomahawk 117, 118, 119, 121, 128, 129 (VF/NM ok on these)

Unexpected 111, 112, 114, 121, 124

Witching Hour 2, 4, 8, 15

 

And here's what I have for trade:

 

Dark Mansion of Forbidden Love CGC 9.2 (White Pages)

DC Special 4 CGC 9.2 (Neal Adams Mystery cover)

House of Mystery 212 NM (Kaluta cover)

House of Mystery 224 NM/NM- (100 page, Wrightson/Adams)

Super DC Giant 23 CGC 9.4 (Unexpected, Top Census)

Unexpected 106 CGC 9.4 (Top Census)

Weird War Tales 2, 4, 5 (all about VF)

 

Except for the Tomahawks, I have most of the horror books on my want list in the 8.0-9.0 range, and would be willing to include my current copy if anyone wants to downgrade theirs as part of a package deal or something like that.

 

I'll have a much bigger list of horror books for sale/trade tomorrow, stay tuned!! 893whatthe.gif

All those Adams Tomahawks are tough. Have you been able to get ANY in vf/nm or better? So far I have only been able to get 117,118, 121 and 124 in high grade.

 

Hey, and if anyone else wants to post what they have to trade and what they want, please post it grin.gif

Out of the Adams run, I have about half-dozen in high grade, with the only slabbed copies being the 116 Q 9.2, and the 127 9.4 (Oakland). But hey, 3 of your issues listed above are on my want list!!

 

I wonder if we were standing next to each other at the San Diego con buying Oaklands. I got the Witching Hours 1, 2 and 4 laugh.gif

Why is the 116 Qualified? 127 cloud9.gif

 

One guess...ok, the answer is the ubiquitous detached staple that plagues these late 60's/early 70's DC's.
