Mike, sorry I missed out on those SOHH frustrated.gif

 

For those who want reader or cheap copies, I'm starting to sell my "unfit for CGC" raw auctions tonight (12/30) at 9:00pm EST. Books include Tomb of Dracula 1-10, Weird War Tales 22-24, House of Mystery 184-187, and others.

 

All books with no reserve and starting at 99 cents!

 

For those board members who win lots, I will provide shipping at no charge within the U.S. I hope to add some more books on Friday and Saturday, but it all depends on my initiative.

Hmm, is there room for a readers' low-grade classification here?

 

Just in case, here are a ton of doubles. Would be interested in trading Overstreet for Overstreet value, or if anyone wants to do an outright purchase, price is offered below, less than half Overstreet (& still negotiable).

 

What am I looking for? Well, upgrades in Fine or better for late 1960s DCs like Green Lantern, Flash, Showcase. Would be interested in sampling some of the Kelley Jones Batman run, say from Batman 517-550 or so. As far as Bronze Horror, I'm pretty good right now, but I could be talked in to Unexpected 15 cent issues or the 25 cent Giants, or House of Mystery after #275.
