Outlaws #13
3.0? OW. Pretty ragged but supple and attached.  Obnoxious big corner folds bottom right corner, staple pull tears, 1” tear and small chip on back cover.  
These Cole westerns are pretty sweet.  If my grandma bought me these I would be totally cool with it. 
$28

I have a confession to make.   I collect GA crime crash covers.  My neighbor Ellis doesn't like it, thinks I'm "morbid", but I think they are badd azz.  Gotta be crime though- no race cars, superhero or funny animal bs.  Anybody got a CCC book not in this pic let me know, maybe we can trade/buy/sell...

That being said-

All-Famous Police #6
3.5 – 4.0? OW

Definitely one of my top 10 favorite Cole covers, and arguably thee best GA Crime Car Crash cover.  Great stuff inside too!  Significantly under-rated IMO.
6” fold bottom right corner, same on back cover- doesn’t seem to break color so press out? Top right corner folds and nicks.  ½” split top spine.  Cover feels rough in places but great colors.
PLUS- Headline Comics #44  What??
4.0 1” bottom spine split, 3 small chips out of top and bottom spine corners, chip off bottom right corner. Small tear bottom edge fc.  S&K cover.

Both for $198 not anymore!  Price reduced to $148!

Innocent “Those Were The Days” Golden Age Four Pack
or

“4 comics my grandma bought me and I hid them inside the encyclopedias so my friends wouldn't see them that’s why they’re in such great shape" four pack.

1. Real Life Comics #48 5.5?
  Chipping on edge of back cover.
Rattlesnake Dong is back, and this time he’s brought his posse:
2. Robin Hood AND His Merry Men #34. 8.0+ w/ow.  Just a few small flaws. This could become the highest graded copy in the WHOLE WORLD, but then again, maybe not.  What do I know?  Obviously not much after letting that space cowboy book go for the price of a fancy hamburger.
3. It REALLY Happened, I Swear To God.  #5.  6.5 wear/small pulls around staples-  Hey it’s a Schomburg cover!  
4. Crown Comics #8.  6.5-7.0?
Abrasion wear on top and bottom left corners, a few very small lower spine creases.  Otherwise a beautiful tight shiny flat book with white pages.  I looked and saw this listed for like hundreds of dollars- but who buys them, and why?
$148 for all four!  That’s less than the price of 6 fancy hamburgers!

SOLD- THANK YOU!

Crime and Justice #20
8.0+/- OW/W super solid smooth & supple. Flaws?  What flaws? (that rust like mark on the back is not from the staples, which are rust free).
All the cool kids have one of these- 
And it’s easy to see why!
Awesome morgue splash, rare sequential crash panels, and evil granny with blow gun!
Now it’s your turn, all this for only $73

Strange Mysteries #4

2.0 OW.  Whenever I see “tape on inside cover” I hear it whispering to me “here’s an affordable book that presents much better than grade- buy it quick!”
Try it- put your ear up to the screen and listen… hear it?  Now obey!!  
$188 REDUCED! NOW $168!
Also, those ghoul arms are actually saving that woman’s life- see the ax coming in from the left?

@Black Bat I have to say that I am just so happy to have you in this community. The passion you have for this just oozes from your posts. Reading through this thread is an excellent reminder of why I’m still collecting. 

Thanks! I LOVE this stuff!  It's great to be around folks who appreciate it instead of being the oddball!

Terrifying Tales #15

3.5 Slight C-1 small CT and small glue.
My favorite Cole jungle cover? This one broke my heart- twice! I had this copy for a while and always wanted an upgrade. After waiting for years, I bought a beautiful raw 8.5ish.  After “upgrading” I sent this one in for grading… Then I found resto on the 8.5 too – (the dealer refunded- thank you, you know who you are!). But when this copy came back purple, well, now I just can’t look at her the same anymore- it’s like she’s been lying to me all these years!  
Still a solid presenting copy- Crack her out and fool your friends!
SOLD- THANK YOU!

Strange Mysteries #2

3.5 OW.  One of the coolest PCH covers- understated, but not underrated!  These get snapped up quick (by me if I see ‘em). So disturbingly beautiful, something about yellow books…
And how about that date stamp placement!  Too much.  Nice slim new slab too!
$318 REDUCED (JUST SLIGHTLY CAUSE I LOVE THIS SOOOO MUCH)  $308

SOLD= THANK YOU AND ENJOY!!!
