The Big Downsizing part 1: LOTS and RUNS - everything remaining now 10% off! 4 4

[Crimebuster]

I've been buying and selling on the forums here since 2012, but I never kept up much with my kudos thread, so it's pretty empty. Still, I think most of you know who I am. 

 

1.    in thread trumps PM conversations.

2. In the case of multiple PMs, or take its, I will go by time stamp. 

3. no HoS/probation people please. I'm Crimebuster, not Crimeenabler

4. shipping is included for U.S. buyers - and this is U.S. only, sorry! 

Shipping is through the USPS.  

5. Paypal only! Thanks.

6. please pay promptly, I have a crimefighting monkey sidekick to feed

7. If there's any kind of issue with the books, let me know within one week of receiving it and we can figure out some kind of return. But I don't anticipate any issues!

so, I had a health scare recently, and though things were luckily fine, I realized I need to do some downsizing with my collection and change some of my comics priorities. 

As a result I'm going to be selling off about 15 boxes of comics, starting with copper and modern stuff.

I'm a full run collector, so these will almost all by big lots, either complete or nearly complete runs. 

All the lots include shipping, U.S. only. 

I'll be going box by box over the weekend and seeing what's there, starting with three lots - Young Avengers, Hawkeye, and West Coast Avengers.

SOLD!

 

Young Avengers lot - $285 shipped

This is a nearly full set of all the original Young Avengers runs. I say nearly complete because at some point I apparently lost issue #9 of the first series and didn't realize it. So, that's missing, sorry.

But you get all the rest of this:

 

Young Avengers #1-8 #10-12

Young Avengers Special #1

Young Avengers Presents #1-6

Young Avengers / Runaways - Civil War #1-4

Young Avengers / Runaways Secret Invasion #1-3

Avengers: The Children's Crusade #1-9

Avengers: The Children's Crusade Special #1

 

That's 35 issues, including the key ones I think. Some notes:

 

I have #1 at around an 8.0. It has a printing defect on the front cover top right - looks like a line of small spots. This copy is also signed by artist Jim Cheung on the FC bottom left. 

I have YA Presents Hawkeye #6 around a 9.2 - there's a crimping on the bottom spine, front and back. Maybe this could be improved with a press, I don't know.

YA/Runaways Civil War #3 is really beat up, it's only around a 4.0 maybe.

The rest are nice copies in the 9.0 range give or take.

Hawkeye lot - $245 shipped

I'm a big Hawkeye fan, so there's a lot in this lot! You basically get complete runs of all his solo series, including the Fraction/Aja series that the upxoming TV show is based on. Which has awesome art, and I guess some speculators are pumping up stuff, I dunno. Here's what you get:

 

Hawkeye #1-4 (1983)

Hawkeye #1-4 (1994)

Hawkeye: Earth's Mightiest Marksman #1 (1998) 

Hawkeye #1-8 (2003)

Hawkeye and Mockingbird #1-6 (2010)

Avengers Solo: Hawkeye #1-5 (2011)

Hawkeye #1-22, Annual #1 (2012)

 

That's 51 big issues of Hawkeye!

 

SOLD!

Going to take a break for supper and stuff, but I'll be back in a couple or three hours to bust open a new box. Not sure what will be inside, we'll find out together.

 

I also wanted to mention that any money I make from selling these will be going to pay to make and self-publish new comics. 

 

Thanks everyone!

 

Buy before the next big announcement hits twitter!! Flip and make millions!!!

[Crimebuster]

And, we're back!

Groo lot - $40 shipped

This lot includes:

Groo #1-20 (Epic)

Groo #2, 3, 4, 6 (Pacific)

 

The condition of the Epic issues is all over the place, because a few of them are OO books I bought off the newsstand as a kid, and those are kind of trashed from being read multiple times. 

Tremendously fun reading here though!

 

[Crimebuster]

Strikeforce: Morituri complete set - $45 shipped

 

This includes the whole series, as well as the follow up mini-series, for the complete story:

 

Strikeforce: Morituri #1-31

Strikefor: Morituri - Electric Undertow #1-5

 

This is a great cult classic series! Buy it and join the cult!

 

[Crimebuster]

Top Ten complete lot - $40 shipped

 

This includes:

 

Top Ten #1-12

SMAX #1-5

Top Ten season 2 #1-4

Top Ten season 2 Special #1

Top Ten: The Forty Niners (hardcover edition)

 

[Crimebuster]

ROM - complete series - $220 shipped

 

This includes the entire series, plus some tie-in issues that I don't think Marvel has been able to reprint due to rights issues:

 

ROM #1-75

ROM Annual #1-4

Power Man and Iron Fist #73

Hulk #296

Marvel Two-in-One #99

 

I have the #1 at around a 6.5. Most of the books are in similar condition, give or take. The #17 with the X-Men appearance has a bend through it due to improper storage.

I need to break again, I might be back tonight with more. If not, tomorrow I'll crack open the next box. Thanks in advance for buying everything, I appreciate it. 

[Crimebuster]

Captain America - the Brubaker Years - $145 shipped

 

This is an almost complete set of Brubaker's stories on Captain America during the 00's. 

The 2011 series is missing #1. For the 2005 series, the first 21 issues are in trade form - the trades do not include vol. 1 #10 for some reason. 

 

Here's what you get:

 

Captain America (2005) - trade vol. 1-4

Captain America (2005) #22-50

Captain America (2005) #600-640

Captain America (2011) #2-19

Winter Soldier #1-14

Captain America: Who will wield the shield? #1

Captain America Reborn #1-6

Steve Rogers: Super Soldier #1-5

Captain America Comics #1 (2009)

 

That's 115 comics, plus another 20 in trade form, covering everything for an 8 year period. These stories are the basis for the Captain America: Winter Soldier film and the Falcon and the Winter Solider TV show. 

There are a couple variants mixed in as well. There's a McGuinness variant for the death of Cap in #25. I think there are a couple others as well. 

 

SOLD!

Some of these are also signed - not CGC, but books I personally had signed by creators whom I have met over the years. These issues are:

 

#286 - signed by Mike Zeck

#332 - signed by Mike Zeck

#344 - Signed by Ron Frenz

#345 - signed by Ron Frenz

[Crimebuster]

More coming tomorrow!

[Crimebuster]

Okay, a few more complete runs coming up. So far, this thread has been crickets, but that's okay. Crickets are people too. They deserve some cool copper age comics. 

[Crimebuster]

Elfquest lot - $65 shipped 

 

This includes the complete first three Elfquest storylines:

Elfquest #1-32 (Epic)

Elfquest: Siege at Blue Mountain #1-8

Elfquest: Kings of the Broken Wheel #1-9

plus Annual #2

 

That's 50 issues of Elfquest. If you haven't read it, it's fantastic, one of my favorite titles. The Epic version, as opposed to the original version, is in color rather than black and white and contains some additional pages and material, so some prefer it. 

Some of the early Epic issues are in rough shape, especially #1, as they are OO copies I bought off the stands as a kid and read to death. 

 

[Crimebuster]

Jon Sable: Freelance complete run - $65 shipped

 

This is the complete run of Mike Grell's seminal 80's indie series Jon Sable: Freelance, #1-56

It also includes as a bonus the complete five issue 2009 IDW series Jon Sable: Ashes of Eden, as well as some weird fundraiser comic with a Jon Sable short story in it. For a total of 62 issues. 

 

[Crimebuster]

This is a complete run of the 2005 Jonah Hex (volume 2) series by Jimmy Palmiotti and Justin Gray, issues #1-70.

#1 - signed by Jimmy Palmiotti

#5 - signed by Tim Bradsteet and Jimmy Palmiotti

#16 - signed by Jimmy Palmiotti

#43 - signed by Paul Gulacy and Jimmy Palmiotti
