My name is Phil and I have been a reader and collector of comic books since I was a child, some 55 years. My family had owned and operated three comic book stores in the five county Philadelphia area for about a fifteen year period. The businesses were sold approximately twenty years ago. What I will be putting up for sale on E-Bay over the next few years will be my personal collection and the comic stock that was kept by the family when the businesses were sold. Approximately 50,000 books will be put up for auction over the next several years. I consider myself an excellent grader, although I will have a lot of the books professionally graded. Please check out my other auctions and if you win more than one auction I will combine shipping. I will be putting new auctions up almost every day from modern to golden age and from professionally graded to my keen eye grading. If you have any questions on any of my auctions please don't hesitate to e-mail me your question. I will respond as quickly as I can. Obviously I have a lot of books to put up and I am doing this all myself so it will take me quite awhile to put up everything. Again please check my auctions often as you never know when I will put up something that you want. I will ship to Canada,United Kingdom,Europe and many other countries. SHIPPING AND HANDLING PRICE INCLUDES DELIVERY CONFIRMATION WITHIN THE UNITED STATES AND ALL PROFESSIONALLY GRADED BOOKS SHIPPED IN BUBBLE WRAP IN BOXES. PLEASE SCROLL DOWN TO SEE GRADE CONDITION DESCRIPTION BELOW APPROPRIATE FOR YOUR BOOK This auction is for THOR # 158 PGX GRADED 9.0 VERY FINE/NEAR MINT & # 159 PGX GRADED 9.2 NEAR MINT - (1968) BOTH BOOKS COMBINED LIST FOR $190.00 IN NEAR MINT 9.2 BOTH ARE JACK KIRBY ART/COVER AND VINCE COLLETTA INKS AND STAN LEE STORY Condition Mint (MT) (9.9 to 10.0) Nearly perfect in every way. Only the subtlest bindery or printing defects are allowed. Cover is flat with no surface wear. Cover inks are bright with high reflectivity and minimal fading. Corners are cut square and sharp. Staples are generally centered, clean with no rust. Cover is generally well centered and firmly secured to interior pages. Paper is supple and fresh. Spine is tight and flat. Near Mint/Mint (NM/MT) (9.8) A comic book that has enough positive qualities to make it better than a Near Mint+ comic book, but has enough detracting qualities to keep it from being a Mint 9.9 comic book. In most cases, the comic book has a better appearance than a copy that has earned a Near Mint+ grade. Near Mint (NM) (9.2 to 9.7) Nearly perfect with only minor imperfections allowed. A comic book with this grade should have no corner or impact creases, nearly invisible stress marks (if any), and no bindery tears larger than 1/16 of an inch. A couple of very tiny color flecks - or a combination of the above - keeps the comic book from being perfect, making its overall eye appeal less than Mint and dropping it into this grade. Only the most subtle binding and/or printing defects are allowed. Cover is flat with no surface wear. Cover inks are bright with high reflectivity and minimum of fading. Corners are cut square and sharp with ever-so-slight blunting permitted. Staples are generally centered, and are clean with no rust. Cover is centered and firmly secured to interior pages. Paper is supple and like new. Spine is tight and flat. Very Fine/Near Mint (VF/NM) (9.0) A comic book that has enough positive qualities to make it better than a Very Fine+ comic book, but has enough detracting qualities to keep it from being a Near Mint- comic book. In most cases, the comic book has a better appearance than a copy that has earned a Very Fine+ grade. Very Fine (VF) (7.5 to 8.5) A comic book graded Very Fine is an excellent copy with outstanding eye appeal. Sharp, bright, and clean with supple pages. Cover is relatively flat with almost no surface wear. Cover inks are generally bright with moderate to high reflectivity. Staples may show some disco... read more
