Thread is now closed.

 

This is my first sales thread on the boards in a few years, but I’ve done well with them in the past, so thought I’d test the waters with a few cool books.  
Payment via cashier's check or bank wire. U.S. customers only. USPS Priority Mail Express (overnight shipping) with insurance and signature confirmation is included. Time payments are available, but I'd like some sort of payment upfront. If you are interested, just send me a PM -- I'm easy to work with.
Usual rules. No returns on CGC graded books. First “I’ll take it” in the thread gets it. Any questions, please let me know.
Kudos thread is posted on the boards, and I sell on eBay under the name "blissard" (100% positive, with over 25,000 feedback).
Thanks!
-Adam

Book #1. Amazing Fantasy #15 CGC 4.0 OW/W Pages 1st App. Spider-Man Price: $32,500 (closed)

Beautiful 4.0 copy.  Strong cover colors, off-white to white pages, no Marvel chipping.  As far as 4.0 copies go, this is the type of example you’d hope to find.  Recent comparable sales: last GPA sale for a 4.0 was last month for $29,999 (with cream to off-white pages).  Second to last GPA sale for a 4.0 was in a March Heritage auction for $26,400 (though that copy had Marvel chipping and tape).  Please note that what might look like staining in the center front cover area of my scan is just a slight “Newton ring effect” that you commonly see on these newer CGC holders (does not harm the book).  

Graded this past week, grader notes:
-moderate creasing back cover
-readers crease front cover breaks color
-tear right center of front cover
-wear all edges back cover
-wear all edges front cover breaks color

Book #2. Action Comics #252 CGC 8.0 1st App. Supergirl Price: $13,000

Beautiful, high grade copy of a mega Silver Age key.  This was a copy that I held on to over the years because it presented better than almost any other 8.0 that I’ve come across for this issue.  If you look at various copies of this book, the red & blue colors on the front cover can vary from having a “faded” look to having deep, rich red & blue colors on Superman & Supergirl (like you see on this copy).  I’ve bought and sold several other 8.0’s for $16-16.5k in recent years (and this copy honestly presents better than those copies).  

Graded 4/2/15, grader notes:
-Full Left Back Cover Shadow
-Left Center Front Cover Crease Breaks Color 
-Left Top Front Cover Address/Date/Name Stamp 
-Spine Fade

Book #3. Captain Marvel Adventures #18 CGC 7.5 1st App. Mary Marvel Price: $11,500

Old label; most likely was never pressed (especially since this copy was graded in 2003 when it was a sub-$1,000 book).  One of the top ten copies ever graded by CGC; just eight copies grade higher (with 9.0 being the highest).  A different 7.5 recently sold for $10,000 via buy-it-now on eBay (which was probably a good deal); in the lower grades, this book has exploded in price in recent years (4.0’s are bringing close to $4k), but a high grade copy hasn’t been auctioned off in many years.  

Graded 5/24/03, grader notes:
-Left Center Front Cover Wear 
-Right Center Back Cover Wear

Gorgeous books!  That AF15 is something else, GLWTS!!

[Action252Kid]

Thanks guys!  Bumping this up for the Sunday night crowd!

[srbeausoleil]

OMG beautiful books!!!   i gotta stop looking so early in the morning...........

[Action252Kid]

I would do $30k on the AF15, if anyone is interested.  I think it's priced about where it would bring at auction, was just trying to avoid the selling fees if possible on a bigger book!

Going to close this out in the morning; thanks to everyone for the comments and PMs.
