I don't think you will ever see anything like this on Ebay in many years to come, if ever. I have been collecting Classics Illustrated comics for over 35 years and now I am offering my collection here on Ebay.  The original series produced 169 different titles between 1941 and 1969 but there were many editions, variants, unusual printings and other Classics related items from Gilberton. I have tried to collect them all over the years.  This collection has over 8,000 items. You read that right!!! Everything from the original 169 titles, the variants, Juniors, Twin Circle, World Around Us, Specials, Records (LPs), Illustrated Libraries, Stories By Famous Authors, Marvel Classics, Acclaim, Berkley, Pendulum Now Age, Binders, Racks, Giveaways, Handbooks, Dan Malan's Guides, Ben Franklin Stores, Popsicle Pete, Newsletters, Instructor Magazines with Classics ads, Foreign Editions from Canada and other countries, Best Of Boy's Life, Children's Digest Serialized Classics and the list goes on. This collection would be perfect for the avid collector, someone just starting out or anyone interested in a solid investment for the future. (Many of the editions have nearly doubled in value over the last ten years, based on the Overstreet Price Guide.) The average cost per comic or item with The Buy-It-Now is around $8.00 each. THAT IS A TRUE BARGAIN! The overstreet Value is more than double the asking price. I was constantly upgrading my editions to obtain the highest quality possible. That is why this collection has so many High Grade comics in Fine, Very Fine and better condition.   I have an excel file listing all the editions, the dates and conditions (based on Overstreet grading guidelines). Please contact me with your email address to get this file. I will personally deliver this collection to anywhere in North America if you Buy It Now! (This is a substantial saving when you consider the cost of having these shipped by a trucking firm.) The collection is stored in 60 standard comic boxes that are 16 to 20 inches long x 9 inches wide x 12 inches high and weigh approximately 23 pounds each. They are all placed in order of edition and the majority are bagged and boarded. Please contact me for the list or further details.   Powered by eBay Turbo Lister The free listing tool.
