Offered tonight are four cool books, all heartbreakingly incomplete, so they are the first to go in the beginning phase of a herd cull. 

:rulez:

First :takeit: wins; tie/indeterminate goes to thread. (If you have a raw, VG range Yellow Claw #4, I will consider trades or cash/trade deals)

Payment is Money order or check; I do not have Paypal.

Don't be listy (tsk) including the little one in my head.

U.S. shipping is included in book price; Canada ships at actual.

Returns: No return on slabs; raw books notify me within three days of receipt and get it back on your own dime. However, in this instance, as all the books are stated incomplete, I might look at ya kinda funny if we ever meet in person.

Avengers #4 .5 Qualified -- Recently got this in a trade. Many of you have seen me post elsewhere that this (along with Flash 123) is perhaps the last book I'd sell, as they pull the golden age into the silver age and give birth to the continuity that gave us run-collecting as a hobby in the first place. It's only going because it's my third and lowest-grade copy; I'm just such a sucker for it that I couldn't not get it worked into the trade. 

I was a bit baffled on this grade (Was not sure why a .5 needs Qualification), so I called and asked and was told the .5 would be due to the cover being completely spilt and detached, with staining, etc. The Qualified comes in because of the missing ad page in the back of the book (does not affect story). That said, a .5 blue incomplete (page missing) recently sold on eBay from a $500 OBO listing, and a raw page-missing and cover-split copy recently sold in eBay on an MCS listing for $465, so I am using those as reference points for pricing this odd-duck grade. 

(WAS $450) NOW $375 shipped within U.S.

Joe Palooka #23 -- CF missing, so again with the .5/Poor grade for the incomplete book.

Grab this slice of cheesecake for (WAS $15) NOW $12 shipped in U.S. if it's all you want; or call it A FREEBIE with any other purchase in this thread.

Pep #71 -- guess what, Poor because it's incomplete! Missing the last page; cover detached at top staple and hanging on at the bottom. But the cover image presents well, and this may be second only to Archie #50 among Betty-centric covers, and a whole lot scarcer. Only two on census and they don't come up much. A raw copy went a couple nights ago on eBay for $185.50, with spine roll and detached cover. Let's be under half of that: (WAS $75) NOW $50 shipped within U.S.

:news: SOLD!

Wilbur #5, the first appearance of Katy Keene -- in...wait for it.... .5 incomplete! 

The missing page in this one, however, is an ad on one side and the first page of the Katy Keene story on the other, so it is a significant page. On the bright side, the final story, Train Trouble, is complete. This is a story from Archie #1 with Archie replaced by Wilbur. Cover presents well; seemingly needless small pieces of tape cover the staples. Tough book for comps; going with less than half of the 2018 sale prices for GVG copies on Heritage.

(WAS $200) NOW $125 shipped within U.S.
