I like those make an offer deals. Some people don’t play it right. I offered 8 dollars for a book and didn’t get a counter offer and it was sold for 9 dollars the next day. I think you're going to have to offer a little more than $8 for a coverless copy of Journey Into Mystery #83. 😉 |

Ha. Actually I draw the line at coverless books. likewise. I don't pursue coverless but have bought a few western/war comics on the cheap at yard sales or LCS. Missing the cover won't ruin the story for me and will grab when getting for 10cents to 25cents. No cover says well loved and read comic book to me. |

Years ago I bought a lot of Mad Magazines , some of them were coverless. It has no value to me . It's something to give away or throw in the garbage.

Yeah, I would draw the line at a coverless comic as well. I'm not one to fetishise high grade books, but it has to have its cover and all its pages. I mean, I do have two or three coverless comics in my collection, but they're comics that I read over and over as a kid until the covers fell off. I don't think I'd buy coverless copies of old comics today, even if they were going for 50p or something.
Actually, I have a very vague memory of someone back in the days of the old CBR classics forum saying that they would sometimes buy coverless copies of rare Silver or Golden Age comics for cheap and then print off and attach their own covers, which they sourced from the Internet. No idea who that was though. Do any of the other old folks here recall that?

As with a few others here, a long awaited (9 days later than the anticipated delivery date) Lonestar package arrived. The delay here wasn't on Lonestar-tracking put it at the processing center in Ohio from Texas on the day they listed as the anticipated delivery day-July 6-it just took 9 days to get from there to my house arriving yesterday. Here's what was inside... Continued to fill in some of the individual issue holes in Kirby's Fourth World...    grabbed a couple of books off their weekly dollar sale...  and then indulged in a bunch of Eisner goodness...    more to follow... -M |

I'm kind of proud of this pickup on eBay. I think this book flew under the radar for customers as I was the only bidder. It was 20 dollars for the first appearance of the Destroyer and it was in surprisingly nice shape for the price. I would say around a 5.0  |

Newkadia has listed a copy as VG+ (going for $70) which certainly is worse than yours, but on the other hand, I've posted in this very thread, pictures of VG+ and VG/FN copies which were actually better than this. |

I’m always happy when they understate the grade.
