I'm pretty straight forward on how I do things and I would never think to offer someone some cash for a book included in an offer. I'm hoping who ever did it was trying to look out for the guy and didn't want to have him offer too much. I have no clue how much those books are worth since I stay pretty much away from coverless books in general.

 

It wasn't point five I'll tell you that :)

OK! Offered up is your choice of one of two comic lots.

These will suit very different boardies, so let's see which if either gets snagged first... hm

Option 1: IMAGE IS EVERYTHING

Two sets of recent Image series, fun reads both: Todd the Ugliest Kid on Earth #1-6 and Clone #1-4.

These are all first prints, average grade NM... maybe one or two issues will have (discreet) flaws dropping them a touch below the NM range. Really nice sets. The #1s of both series are extremely sharp copies.

 

(Pics are stock images, for quick representational purposes. I'll stand behind the grading.)

Bonus! Your option to add up to three of the following issues to the modern lot:

Walking Dead #103 Giarrusso Variant

Injustice Gods Among Us Year One #1, #2 (both 2nd prints)

Bedlam #1, #2, #3 (1st prints)

The Activity #1

Black Beetle #2 (Dark Horse/Francavilla)

Life With Archie #36 (Allred, Hughes covers)

The Westwood Witches #1

Sixth Gun #3, #14

Ultimate Spiderman #152 (J Scott Campbell Black Cat cover)

Nowhere Men #2 (2nd print), #3 (1st print)

Batman #7 New 52 1st print in 6.5, #8 1st print in 8.5

Letter 44 #1

Todd the Ugliest Kid #1 2nd print (different cover)

Option 2: GIVE WAR A CHANCE

A lot of six 1950s war comics: four Atlas, one Harvey, one Charlton.

Fascinating historical reads with some cool art. Some of these are lower-grade, but generally they have nicer-than-average eye appeal for 1950s comics, flat with good gloss and not a ton of color-breaking defects. Click on the pics!

Battle #27 in 4.5. Strong midgrade appearance. Light paper loss to bottom 2" of spine. Back cover

 

Battlefront #1 in qualified 5.0. Pretty book. There's a coupon cut from the bottom of an interior ad page ("How To Hypnotize..."), affecting a text page but no art pages. Stylish Russ Heath cover. Back cover

 

Battlefront #10 in 2.5/3.0. Spine split at bottom, tanning to cover edges though interior pages are OW. Back cover

 

Navy Combat #6 in 1.8. Looks better than grade, but piece missing URC. Back cover

 

True War Experiences #4 in 7.5/8.0. High-grade Harvey book with vibrant colors; cover art is shifted a bit (production miswrap). Back cover

 

United States Fighting Air Force #6 in 3.5/4.0. Decent copy, but the back cover is extra wide with a worn left edge. Back cover

 

 

(Note: Taking a page from Beige's book, I'll say that outside the US, 50% for postage is appreciated but not compulsory... especially appreciated on lot #1, which will be heavy/expensive to ship outside the US. For either lot, I'll pick up US shipping.)

Point five, that's perhaps the most professional presentation of an offer that I've ever seen.

 

When the "givies" or "treezies" (name has not been finalized) award show takes place, your offer is a strong contender for "best presentation"

 

 

 

 

also trademark pending on the terms "givies" and "treezies"

I second this. Very pretty.
