[CLOSED] One book left - Detective 371, 9.2 blue - REDUCED 0

[mattn792]

I'm unofficially calling this one the "Buy my books so @jbpez doesn't break my knees" thread.

Necessities first:

Payment:  In addition to PayPal, I will also accept check/money order/Zelle, though the book will be held until clearance.  Payment due within 10 business days.    

Shipping (domestic):  Booka will be shipped via insured USPS priority mail in a medium flat rate box.  Domestic shipping is included in the listed prices.

International Shipping - exact cost, minus the US shipping cost.  Please inquire first for an accurate quote. 

Returns:  No returns on CGC books as you know what you're getting.

On the HoS?  Probation list?  Or I simply don't like you (aka on my ignore list)?  Don't bother.

Can provide board references if needed (no name dropping here), and over 1700 positive eBay feedback as well -- https://feedback.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewFeedback2&userid=792mn.  And I've got a fledgling kudos thread started (link is in my profile page).

First wins a book outright, well reasoned offers always welcome.  Onward!

First up is going to be Detective Comics 457.  1st appearance of Leslie Thompkins, with a Batman origin retelling tossed in for good measure.

If you check out this book in the census, you'll see that there are only 107 total graded copies.  What further sets this particular copy apart is that it is the highest graded Signature Series copy by a fair margin; its the only SS 9.6, and the next census entry is at SS 9.0.  Sadly there will be no more Denny O'Neil signatures either.  

I can find no recent precedent to cite in pricing this one, so I'm going to put the initial ask at SALE PENDING.

Up next we go Golden.  Superman Golden.  I like this one, I really do, but I've been thinking of downgrading for a while.  

This is the issue where Superman and Batman learn each other's secret identities while also having a measuring contest to see who gets to save Lois from her predicament.  This copy is a 6.0 with off-white pages.  

On this book, I would consider a cash and trade deal for an under copy that presents well.  Otherwise, the all cash ask is set at SOLD.

Back to Detective Comics we go!  371 to be specific.

An amusing, if not slightly sexist cover, featuring Batgirl having a mid-fight "crisis".  A beautifully presenting 9.2 with ow/w pages.

Very few graded copies seem to be on the market at the moment, though eBay does show a 9.0 recently selling for a shade under $300.  Let's call this guy $350 $315 $300 and see what happens.

‘Tec 371 pending per PM negotiation

Just added!  Not DC!  Or signed by Stan Lee!  Or 9.8!  Get it signed by Todd McFarlane for some reason!

Why am I feeling nostalgic for terrible eBay puffery...

Anyway, I decided to downgrade on this book too (shout to @jbpez once more), so my 9.6 newsstand of Amazing Spider-Man 252 is now being offered up in this thread.  Not much needs to be said about this one -- AF 15 cover swipe, with the first appearance of the black costume.  

Recent price action has US newsstand copies just below and just above $300 (a Canadian edition hit $400 on ComicLink ), so for the boards why don't we call this book $295 shipped.

 

 

 

ASM 252 sold by PM.

Slight change in plans -- 'Tec 457 is pending, 371 is back on the market.

[mattn792]

'Tec 411 is off the market.

'Tec 371 reduced by 10%.  

 

[mattn792]

Detective 371 is all that's left, final price cut to $300.  

Thread will close up shop sometime tonight.

Chosen to accept a proposed deal for 371, that's a wrap all!
